This year was my first time attending the GR8 show, and I must say, now that I’ve been, I regret skipping previous editions. Even though I had to drive much further into Belgium (from the Netherlands) than I usually would for an event, it was well worth the effort. The event was held at Kortrijk Xpo, one […] The post Everything GR8 About Belgian Modified Car Culture In One Place appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

The brand was named after Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredo (nicknamed Dino), who was instrumental in influencing the introduction of smaller capacity motors within Ferrari before passing away at a young age. The intention was to manufacture road cars and go racing. A number of Dinos were entered into Formula 2 and lower-capacity sports car classes over the […] The post Restomod Masterclass: A Dino 246 GTS By Moto Technique appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

Yes, that is a massive stereotype, but there is a good reason why I think this way. As a twenty-something-year-old, I purchased a Toyota Camry (I know, I know…) from one such used car reseller, and it promptly ate its timing belt after one week of ownership. I was well and truly had by this […] The post Welcome To Miami, Liberty Walk Style appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

Shorts and Reels are a must because we all have terrible attention spans, yet the monetisation of long-form content now means even basic videos require 15 minutes of chat beforehand. Social media can be a confusing place. Because none of the above issues consider that little thing called actual life. No algorithm factors in delays […] The post SH Garage: Why ’90s Japanese 4x4s Are My Latest Obsession appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

The 2024 Elmia Custom Motor Show, held in Jönköping, Sweden over Easter weekend, turned up some amazing builds. You would have seen many of them in my main event story, but today I want to share the car that stole the show for me – a 1988 Trabant 601. For anyone unaware, the Trabant 601 […] The post 24 Years & Counting: An Epic Trabant 601 Restoration appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

What makes a great restomod? Is it a powerful engine, cohesiveness, or the quality of the end product? Maybe it’s respect for the original design, brand loyalty throughout, or the drive-ability. Everyone will likely have a different opinion, but what we can probably all agree on is the existence of a fine line between doing just the right […] The post Throwback: A Honda-Powered Datsun 510 appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

Goodwood is more than a circuit or a hill climb – it’s an entire experience that is quite difficult to summarise in words. As the season opener, the Goodwood Members’ Meeting is limited to the loyal members of the Goodwood Road & Racing Club. For a photographer, this means smaller crowds, which can be good […] The post Speedhunting At The 81st Goodwood Members’ Meeting appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

Chapman was well known and often quoted for his “Simplify, then add lightness” approach to car building. On the track, his cars were thought of as fast but fragile. On the road, they were revered for their delicate handling characteristics. Two cars that were key in supporting Lotus’s success were the Elan and Cortina. They were different […] The post Same Theory, Different Canvas: Two Lotus Lightweights appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

When F1 was in Japan for the Japanese Grand Prix a couple of weekends ago, most teams posted countless pics of their drivers wearing kimonos, drinking green tea or peering through dense clouds of cherry blossoms. But one driver was keen to taste some authentic Japanese car culture. I met up with France’s Esteban Ocon […] The post F1 Japan Fever: Drivers, Heroes & Fans At Daikoku PA appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more

Given the size of it, with around 1,000 cars across all genres on show, there was plenty for them to do – and plenty for me to see before the doors opened the next morning. I made the most of my early access on this final set-up day and picked out a few highlights to […] The post Petrolheadonism Takes It Underground In London appeared first on Speedhunters ..read more
