Yes, we know he is mostly known as “Beetle” but we like to play the part of those who know things from time to time, please forgive us.

“Der Afro” was the nickname that had Paul Breitner, a german football player during the 70s, included in the list of the 100 best players ever and, last but not least, FIFA world champion in 1974. If you search for some his photo on the web, you will immediately understand where his nickname comes from.… Read More Der Afro: 1977 Bitter CD by Ghia
The 70s, for the automotive world, were a very “experimental” period in which the foundations were laid for the future of the car: even Jaguar tried to do its best.

The seller says that the car was imported from Switzerland in 1977 (they came usually… Read More Uncommon sight: 1977 Datsun 240 Z
Differently from how it seems, the seller of this 308 GT4 says that the car runs very good as he cares to drive it at least around the block to keep the engine and the other mechanical parts in good running order. He also says that he has a lot of receipts of the previous… Read More Not enough driven: 1977 Ferrari 308 GT4
For sure this is not the best looking Lotus ever made, but at least you can say that it’s very rare. Few more than 1,500 cars were made and we’re pretty sure that less than the half have survived. It’s however a 1050 kg (2300 pounds) car pushed by an inline-four, twin cam engine which… Read More Ugly duckling: 1977 Lotus Eclat
