Classic cars, modern fun
Welcome to classically-modern.com — a personal site about owning, modifying, driving, building and having fun with interesting, slightly off-beat cars. Most of these machines have served as genuine year-round daily transport rather than being museum pieces, and that is exactly how I like it.
On the basis that "a picture paints a thousand words", most of the site is a collection of photo galleries and a video page. The sections below cover the current stable and the cars that came before it.
The current garage
1970 Porsche 911T

1961 VW Beetle roadster
Built from a wreck at 17 as the closest thing to a 356 Speedster — now slowly returning to the road.

When I am not in the garage I enjoy reading about craftsmanship in other trades. If you are comparing fine modern pieces, the richard mille replica specialists put together a helpful overview — worth a quiet browse alongside these pages.
