20,000km in almost ten years shared with it: I still miss that V12 sound 🖤

There’s nothing quite like this place or this event: the streets are alive with tuk-tuks, overloaded motorbikes, and vibrant Indian chaos, but once inside the hotel grounds, it’s a serene oasis worthy of a movie scene. The Oberoi is a masterpiece ima...

Come for lunch at my home: I’ll send a vehicle. Landed in India at midnight straight from the Winter Olympics in Italy, but I couldn't resist this invitation. I’ve seen ’s cars at international events, and now I have the chance to see where they and...

The Lamborghini Winter Olympics 🏆 Same place, new challenge… The 1968 Lamborghini Miura once owned by the Shah of Iran, now being driven in ways possibly never seen before (or again!).

Curious about why the 250LM is my ultimate Ferrari? You'll want to see this... Back in the late 1980s, Ferrari produced a short film for the F40's launch. I stumbled upon it at a motor show as a young enthusiast and was immediately captivated by the...

Doesn’t it look like something from a 1930s science fiction movie? It’s a one-off, the final creation of Jean Bugatti before his death testing a Le Mans car just weeks prior to WWII. Introducing the 1939 Bugatti Type 64, the ‘what might have been’…

When a Grand Prix team builds a train… It ends up looking like a submarine on rails, with four 12.7 litre Bugatti Royale engines driving it along. The figures are remarkable: 1km per 4 litres of fuel, 800 horsepower and a measured 196km/h. It is mor...

This message was so full of heart I had to share it (with his consent), as it reminds us that one small act can build memories that last a lifetime: “Good evening, I want to address a message to Sir Simon Kidston. Nearly ten years ago, I met him a...

This could appear in your rearview mirror on the highway! 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail Engine: 6 litre V12, 600bhp Weight: 915kg Top speed: 317km/h at Le Mans in 1997 0-100km/h: 2.5-2.8 seconds Just 10 were built. It was the final iteration of t...

One spectator remarked to another, "That's a clear indication of what buyers will desire once they mature!" At Retromobile, the 1994 McLaren F1 (chassis 007) was started by popular request. Although it's 32 years old and many have tried to surpass i...

Filling a garage with DB5s would cost as much as just one Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, but has the British company ever made a more beautiful or desirable granturismo? Between 1960 and 1963, only 19 original cars left the factory at around £5,500, ab...

It’s been 20 years since we launched Kidston SA. Sometimes it feels like it’s been ages, other times those hectic early days are vivid in my memory. Celebrating here at Retromobile in Paris with the team, some beloved cars, and clients who got us her...

How an $8,000 investment became over $5 million… This 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing had been stored in a Parisian garage for years, with only 34,000km. Its original owner, an Olympic clay shooting champion from France, paid roughly US$8,000. Yes...

Some of the best motoring you’ll find: testing a friend’s 1961 Ferrari 250GT SWB Competition Berlinetta on a chilly British winter day. The same car that outshined all the 250 GTOs—driven by a private French owner—to win the 1962 Tour de France, over...

Proof that men do in fact pay more attention to women than their cars😊 From the 1982 French film ‘The Under-Endowed On Holiday’ (how they’re underendowed isn’t specified) 🇫🇷

Update on FU 2: it’s now 473 days since it arrived at to address the blistering paint, likely caused by poor previous prep over the original cellulose. Its 60th birthday passed, and I’ve been keeping tabs on progress at the Essex workshop. They turn...

Nobody in history has put more miles on Lamborghinis; who is behind the wheel of this 1972 Miura SV? The original bull tamer shows us the purpose these cars were built for 👍🏻 🇮🇹 (PS—recorded before their value hit these levels!)

The Lamborghini Miura turns 60 this week – happy birthday! Its low, loud, and swoopy nature, far from flawless, makes it even more compelling. We're revisiting the reactions of the press (and Enzo Ferrari) from 60 years ago, plus a look at its stats ...

Today, my thoughts are with my younger brother Nick, who passed away 15 years ago this afternoon. He was tragically killed in France when a delivery truck made a u-turn in front of his motorbike. Nick had a passion for bikes, similar to my love for c...
