If this dropped tomorrow, would you take it over a Bentley or a Ferrari?

Facel Vega. 2025. The legend never really left…
Just waited for the world to catch up.

22/03/2025

Caught this absolute legend on the streets of London—the iconic BMW E38 7 Series, and it’s still flexing hard. Built from ‘94 to ‘01, this was peak BMW: clean lines, chrome trim, no nonsense. Just pure class with that signature Bavarian attitude.

Back when luxury didn’t need giant screens or 500 buttons—just leather, wood, and a V8 hum that meant business. Fun fact: Bond drove one of these in Tomorrow Never Dies, and yeah, it’s still got that secret agent vibe.

This one in deep blue? Chef’s kiss. Still turning heads in a world full of tech-heavy beasts. Some things just age like fine wine.

The Last of the Air-Cooled Legends: Porsche 993

If you know, you know. The Porsche 993 isn’t just a 911—it’s the 911. The final chapter of the air-cooled era, the perfect blend of analog purity and timeless design. Some say it’s the greatest 911 ever made.

Here’s a cool fact: The 993 introduced a multi-link rear suspension, making it handle like a dream compared to its predecessors. And that shape? Pure perfection—every curve honed for both function and beauty.

Air-cooled fanatics, is this the ultimate 911? Or does another generation take the crown?

It’s not just about looks; this model was built to last and is known for hitting mileages north of 300,000. From the classic sedan to the stylish convertible, it’s a testament to Mercedes’ engineering. A timeless piece for any collector or enthusiast.

Today, I went to see our family Facel Vega, which has been in the garage for a while due to a lack of funds to solve an engine problem. It's a shame that such an iconic car has not received the love and attention it deserves, but I am determined to change that.

Facel Vega was a French carmaker that produced some of the most stylish and luxurious cars of the 1950s and 1960s, and the HK500 was their signature model. With its sleek lines, powerful V8 engine, and sumptuous leather interior, the HK500 was a true masterpiece of design and engineering.

As a car enthusiast, owning a Facel Vega has always been a dream of mine, and I am proud to have one in my family. I am committed to restoring this beauty to its former glory and getting it back on the road where it belongs.

I pay tribute to Facel Vega for creating such a legendary car and inspiring generations of car enthusiasts. Let's keep the dream alive and continue to appreciate the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of these amazing vehicles.
