While criticising RM's attempts at video advertising (see previous blog) I should be fair and point out that the company has totally redesigned its Web site with a fresh, clean, easy-to-navigate...

I've yet to see a TV commercial on behalf of classic car auction companies, unless you count the endless promos for Barrett-Jackson on Speed. But now it appears that RM Auctions is developing...

It would be difficult to shower additional praise on the work of Ken Eberts, automobile artist extraordinaire, but you can't blame the folks at CarArt for trying; after all, they sell Ebert's...

Pete Lyons, writing in his book Ferrari, The Man And His Machines says that the Ferrari 250 GT SWB was the last true GT. As a GT it could be used for racing or for touring in the grand manner.......

Race cars have seldom been more beautiful than this 1957 500 TRC. Originally owned by a gentleman driver named Bernardo Cammarata, it was raced successfully in the Targa Florio over ten years and won...

My memories of actor/racer Steve McQueen are just two: the first came during a Sebring 12-hour race when a colleague pointed him out. I wasn't a movie fan in those years so his presence meant...

It's not often that people honour an engine unless its a monster V-8 like Chrysler's original Hemi or maybe a screaming Ferrari V-12. So I'm pleased to note that Pontiac's...

As the headline in our image shows, America's finest Italian concours d'elegance is on the move. No, Concorso Italiano is not leaving the beautiful Monterey Bay area but hotel construction...

When the sun rises over the beautiful desert setting of Palm Springs Friday morning, owners of some equally spectacular classic cars will be preparing to drive them in the Tour Classique. It's...

Felipe Massa, one of the fastest drivers in the world, races for Ferrari's F1 team. He's paid millions and can buy any car he wants. How nice, then, to see Felipe with a new Fiat 500 as his...

This is the car I'll be looking at more than any other in 2008, starting March 16. It's the new Ferrari F2008, unveiled today and due to be tested at Fiorano beginning Monday. Of course it...
