Tour Auto 2026 arrivées au Grand Palais, Paris. Included the sounds of more than one Porsche 911. Missing there: this nice Bentley coupé.

A 'Trabi' that almost looks as if it’s floating in the air, on display at an exhibition on the cultural and industrial heritage of East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR). In German the DDR, the Deutsche Demokratische Republik. Political correct language in West Germany: you were supposed to speak about the 'sogenannte' (so-called) DDR.

To the other side of the Iron Curtain, to the magazine 'Autobild' with an advert about a classic car 'Made in West Germany', in Rüsselsheim to be more precise. An Opel ‘Baby Corvette’: this 1969 Opel GT has just passed its MOT and proves that 90 hp is more than enough for a car weighing 940 kg. It takes the 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine 11.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, and the top speed is 185 km/h. With about 83,500 km it still looks in good shape. Asking price: € 39,990. About the history of these Opel GTs.
