The XJ may be regarded as Sir William Lyons’ masterpiece. It was the last car the co-founder of the Jaguar company designed, and what he had created in 1968 turned out to be perennial: The luxury sedan was built over 24 years with only minor modifications regarding the bodywork.
The XJ effectively replaced not only the S series, but the 420 and Mk II along with it, becoming the sole Jaguar saloon and one of the best known British motorcars. At first, only the XJ6 was available, but in 1972, a 12-cylinder version was added, the XJ12, at that time the world’s only mass-produced 12-cylinder sedan.
The first major facelift for the 1974 model year brought raised front bumpers and, consequently, a flatter radiator grille which made the XJ appear even more slender and elegant.
In 1979 the XJ was facelifted once more, incorporating a mild redesign by Pininfarina while largely retaining Sir Lyons’ original lines. Over the whole production span, around 318,000 XJ6 and XJ12 were produced.
One of the pecularities of the XJ is that it is equipped with two separate fuel tanks positioned on each side of the boot, each with its own chrome filler cap and a changeover switch on the dash.

Not open for everyone, but if open, then for four

Mercedes-Benz convertible lovers had to wait for it for a full two decades: A convertible, which offered no jump seats, but comfortable seats in the rear. There had been no such car since the end of production of the W108 series. In 1992 it was time again! The convertible based on the E-Class (W124) coupé, presented in 1987 – at a time when the corresponding sedan had been out for sale for eight years straight. Early customers weren’t to be deterred by the high purchase price of 100,000 marks, and what they got, was a technically sophisticated vehicle with the proven 3 litre four-valve engine.

In subsequent years, the engine range was extended downwards, yet even the basic version with four-cylinder engine still set you back some 80,000 DM. From October 1996 to July 1997 there was the special “Final Edition” with an elegant, black-brown burl wood.
Since many A124 endet up as tuning victims, un-tinkered original models are now fast advancing to valuable classics.

This version of the Porsche 912 Coupé is a true classic and distinguishable from a 911 only to connaisseurs. The four-cylinder engine delivers 66 kW (90 hp), unwarranted mileage is 74,000.

The red US-painting presents itself in quite decent, but not professionally impeccable quality (seals also painted) and with little damage. The car body is largely rust-free and with the black Fuchs wheels results in an attractive overall appearance.

The interior with cognac-colored leatherette seats and rear jump seats as well as the sky are very well preserved. And the chic leather sports steering wheel not only looks good, but enhances the fun. Only the door panels – recessed by boxes and no longer existing bags – are a topic for the future.

German technical approval (TÜV) is valid till 08/2015. Historic plates have been issued.

To quote the Porsche slogan: This really is “Driving in its most beautiful form”!

The popular 356 was past its prime in the sixties. It was succeeded in 1964 by the newly presented 911. In contrast to the precursor, which could never hide its VW Beetle genes completely, the 911 was a real power pack.

The idea for a smaller version was then as simple as obvious: Take the 911 and reduce it by two cylinders. The result was the Porsche 912. The four-cylinder had only 5 hp less than its “big brother”, making the 912 not one of the most powerful sports cars, but sporty nonetheless. The coupe delivers up to 185 km/h, in those days a remarkable value. Finally, the smaller engine also brought a weight saving of 100 kg for the economy version.

The reasonable price was what made the 912 successful. After 30,300 cars – including 2,562 Targa, some of which were used by the highway patrol – production was halted in August 1969, and the successor, the VW-Porsche 914, was ready. Anyone who follows the history of Porsche in the Sixties, cannot avoid this popular model.

The original F Series, as presented in 1948, was the first pickup truck by Ford which was not based upon a car chassis, but on a purpose-built truck platform. The models were denominated F-1 through F-8, according to their loading capacity, with the F-1 being the smallest (1/2 ton). After four years of production, the 2nd generation introduced a different naming scheme which is valid until today. What used to be the F-1 became the F-100, larger models were then called F-110, F-250, F-260, F-350 and F-360.
The 2nd generation F series, which had increased dimensions and improvements to engines and chassis, was assembled at 11 Ford factories, including one in Brazil, where production continued after it had ceased in the US. On the powertrain side, customers could choose between straight-6 and V8 engines with up to 129 kW (173 hp), with either manual 3-speed, 4-speed or automatic transmission. Power steering was introduced as an option in 1954.
The F Series continues to be one of Fords most successful product lines, which has in 2015 reached its 13th generation.

When Antonio Ducati founded the company in Bologna in 1926, it initially produced components for radios. In 1946, the production of the Cucciolo bicycle auxiliary engine was added. In the same decade, the company began developing its own complete vehicles. In 1953, the company was split into Ducati Elettronica S.p.A. and the motorcycle manufacturer Ducati Meccanica S.p.A.. From 1983, Ducati cooperated with the Italian two-wheeler manufacturer Cagiva, which took over Ducati completely in 1985, due to persistently poor business performance. Cagiva itself became insolvent in 1996 and sold 51 percent of Ducati to the American Texas Pacific Group, which took over the brand completely in 1998. In 2005, the Italian Investindustrial company took over the shares of the Texas Pacific Group. In April 2012, Audi and the previous owner Investindustrial announced in a press release that Audi would acquire 100% of the shares in Ducati Motor Holding through its subsidiary Lamborghini. Audi also announced that Ducati would be integrated into the Audi Group and thus also into the Volkswagen Group following approval by the antitrust authorities.

Ferdinand Piech was the driving force behind the “Audi premier league” project. The new luxury class was to be powered by a V8 engine without any restrictions. Quote from his “Auto” biography from 2002: “Obviously, there is no substitute for more cylinders. I didn’t want to make the mistake of opening the top league with an engine that was too small”. The Audi V8 was developed on the basis of the Audi 100 C3. About 90 % of the fully galvanised body was redesigned. From autumn 1988, the Ingolstadt manufacturer competed with the Audi V8 against the established suppliers in the passenger car luxury segment. The Audi V8 was the first German limousine with permanent four-wheel drive and a four-speed automatic gearbox. The eight-cylinder engine is equipped with four overhead camshafts and 32 valves. The engine block and cylinder heads are made of aluminium. The quattro all-wheel drive system distributes the engine’s power proportionally 50:50 to the front and rear axles. If necessary, the electronically controlled power transmission activates the longitudinal lock, so that up to 100 % of the torque is delivered to one axle. The comfortable equipment of this first luxury class, the best fabrics or leather, root wood, is of high quality. Audi also entered motorsport with the V8 saloon. In its very first year, 1990, Hans-Joachim Stuck won the DTM championship.
