Follow #BCGBMWE30 on social media Bookmark this page to follow my ongoing series with this car – everything that happens with the ownership of this BMW – one that I’ve owned for the second time. I used to own a blue one just like this back in the 1990s, and it was one of my most missed cars.
Interviews and cars, from the 2023 London Classic Car Show which returns to its home at Olympia London. Packed from the beginning on day 1 – Friday 24 February, we talk to owners and car makers about Ferraris, American coolness, and replica Bentley Blowers and a Bugatti Veyron.

Continue reading “1988 Peugeot 205 GTI Review”This stunning brown British classic sportscar looks like it’s time-warped in from the 1960s or 70s. Well, it certainly may have originated from that period, but this is essentially a new car, or rather what is popularly known as a ‘restomod’.
