Classic Car News: Vintage Venture
The 18th edition of the MSA Euroclassic tour is due to take place between Saturday 4th and Sunday 12th of September 2010, which is good news for cars over 20 years old and their owners who will have the opportunity to “drive on a mixture of challenging roads while sightseeing”, according to the Telegraph website.
The event organisers have said “the Euroclassic is a non-competitive, scenic tour – there are no timings or penalties for not following the official route and everyone can travel at their own pace”. What better way to travel, than to glide around in a vintage vehicle, starting at the Nürburgring before travelling through Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Italy, to finish at the island of Lindau in southern Germany.
The Euroclassic is promising to provide spectacular scenery, breathtaking mountain views and magnificent driving roads, plus you can park your classic car and check out various venues at numerous check points throughout the tour.
Euro-classic.co.uk has reported that the Euroclassic tour, “established over 15 years ago, is one of the best loved annual European classic events”, and with the Telegraph website reporting that “there are already 85 classics signed up for this year’s event”, it looks set to be another successful occasion.
The worst of the bad weather seems to be over, and the sun is starting to shine, so it’s time to get your classics out the garage and warm them up ready for the Euroclassic tour. The event is open to four wheel road cars that have been manufactured before the 31st December 1989, which means many vintage motors will be attending the event and gracing the German roads in their full glory.

Handel – Messiah / Ameling · A. Reynolds · Langridge · Howell · Marriner $10.03 Neville Marriner’s 1976 account of the Covent Garden version of the score (1743), with the Academy and Chorus of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and soloists Elly Ameling, Anna Reynolds, Philip Langridge, and Gwynne Howell, is positively plush-sounding but nicely animated. I’d love to have this kind of string tone for, say, the Dvorák Serenade, but for Handel it may be just a bit much. –Ted Libbey… |

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons/Tartini: The Devil’s Trill $5.95 We’ve grown so accustomed to seeing violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter gracing album covers in her flowing formal gowns that this recording of Vivaldi’s masterpiece may come as a shock to her fans, at least at first glance. Mutter, it appears, has been influenced by Gap culture, looking relaxed and appearing in jeans on the album cover. To coincide with this release, she even released a music video, fea… |
