Nowadays, the BMW 2002 is often considered one of the best sport sedans ever sold—and even one of the best cars ever sold by the German marque.

As much as that may be the case for today, what did the world think about it back in 1973? Here is a review courtesy "Drive in" from Thames TV discussing just that.

We won't spoil the review, but it's safe to say that the 2002 was a worthy contender then and is a worthy contender today.

Video: Take a Ride in the 300SL Owned by Formula 1 Champion Nico Rossberg

Let's face it, not many of us will have the opportunity to drive the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, let alone own one, so watching someone else drive one may be the next best thing.

Although, when it's Formula 1 Championship driver Nico Rosberg driving his personal 300SL around the streets of Monaco, how much better could it get?

Video: The Only Thing More Challenging Than Racing in the Targa Florio Was Practicing for It
Posted by Colin Wood on Oct. 8, 2020, 3:17 p.m. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pF_oF-ZMhD0

Normally, practice laps are performed on a closed circuit under controlled circumstances. That wasn't the case for the Targa Florio back in the day.

Dedicated practice sessions really weren't a thing, so the only way to familiarize yourself with the course was to run the roads when open to the public—be it cars, people and even animals.

This video focuses on the 1972 running of the race, only one year before the last Targa Florio was held in 1973.

Video: Is Driving at the Limit the Best Way To Enjoy a Classic?
Posted by Colin Wood on Oct. 1, 2020, 3:27 p.m. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jtnCEXXVJ9A

Factors like parts scarcity and high resale values can sometimes push classic car owners to drive their car very little, or worse, not at all. Does that mean, then, that the best way to enjoy a classic is to push it to its limits every now and again?

We'll let you decide for yourself, but to help you figure that out, here's what driving a classic flat out looks like, courtesy our friends at Hagerty.

Video: Chevrolet Monza, Meet Monza National Autodrome

The Chevrolet Monza may not have been the hottest sports car to ever come from Chevrolet, but its distant NASCAR V8-powered IMSA race car relative may have made up for that.

What better place, then, to ride along with the fire-breathing version of the Monza than at the racetrack that shares its name, the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, during the 2020 Monza Historic weekend?

Video: Is This the Largest Collection of Bugattis in the United States?

Perhaps best known for its successful racing heritage and use of iconic automotive design, Bugatti quickly became a maker of some of the most sought-after cars in history.

Considering the company built relatively few cars from 1909 until it folded in the 1950s, it's a rare experience to spot a Bugatti in person, let alone a whole fleet. That's why Peter W. Mullin's trove of French cars—especially Bugattis—is particularly special.

Get a better look at the unique collection on display at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, courtesy of the Petersen Automotive Museum.

Video: Want a 911 but Hate Using a Clutch Pedal? Enter Porsche's Sportmatic
Posted by Colin Wood on Sept. 25, 2020, 4:06 p.m. https://www.youtube.com/embed/x84HYlr2BCA

Back in the '60s, if you craved the joy of driving a 911 but didn't want to bother with a clutch pedal, Porsche offered its unique clutchless Sportmatic transmission.

A sort of semi-automatic transmission, the Sportmatic used a vacuum cylinder to disengage the clutch instead of a driver-operated pedal. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it never really caught on and was discontinued not too long after it was introduced.

Video: Check Out These Future Rides From 1948

Humans have always been looking towards the future, trying to figure out what is going to be the latest and greatest thing that will revolutionize our lives. Case in point: this video from 1948 talking about what the cars of the future could look like based on a few prototype vehicles from the time. (The Lane Motor Museum, by the way, has a Davis in its collection.)

Looking back, it seems like they were just a little bit off of the mark. What do you think?
