At LA ESCUDERÍA we close a record-breaking 2023. The renewed editorial commitment with which we started the year has borne fruit, as we have multiplied our monthly traffic by 20. Let's close the year over 3,5 million unique visitors and approaching six million page views. Best of all, the number of readers has only grown and grown throughout the year, which predicts a 2024 with even better data.
In summary, We have decided to compile the ten articles that have had the most visits throughout 2023. Many of them are related to the future Historic Vehicle Regulations, an issue that continues to generate great concern among fans. Curiously, some lists, such as those of classics at a good price or the best sellers in history, continue to arouse great interest. Also the findings, of course, which are regularly among the most viewed reports each month.
Without further ado, let's start this brief summary of the year with a list that will go from the tenth most viewed article to the first in LA ESCUDERÍA in 2023. Of course, we will leave you the links to them so that you can enjoy them again.
Find: More than 200 abandoned classic cars from a museum
On September 23, we told you that the program Classic Car Rescue had found a warehouse with more than 200 classics. Most of them were Americans and, unfortunately, not all of them could recover, but of course, the video made any good fan dream.
For sale what is possibly the oldest preserved SEAT 124 Familiar
This is news from this month of December, and the appearance of interesting cars for sale always arouses a lot of interest. In this case, in the editorial team we realized that it was likely that it was a unit of special importance, since It may be the oldest 124 Estate in existence, at least in running condition.
25 cars with a Spanish name that are not SEAT
At LA ESCUDERÍA, we always look for different approaches so as not to repeat, as far as possible, what has already been published. In this case, it was Javillac who proposed making a list of cars that used Spanish words or cities in their name. Even ignoring SEAT, they came out 25 in a list that was most curious because it was unexpected.
For sale a very rare SEAT 1400 Sport Cabriolet bodied by Serra
Pedro Serra's creations always arouse great interest among fans. If we add to that that this SEAT 1400 Sport Cabriolet is for sale, it is not surprising that this news has been among the most viewed of the year on the web. Although the owner announced that he ultimately did not plan to sell it, the truth is that this exclusive unit is still available for anyone who wants to buy it.
A Renault 5 Turbo Competition Cup appears, the most extreme version
The first question we asked ourselves when discovering this car was: What the hell is an R5 Turbo Competition Cup? In the end, we investigated until we found out which units were used as a base for the Renault National Cups. By the way, they were made with droppers, so they are more than interesting as collectibles. Maybe that's why it aroused so much interest.
The record-breaking Mercedes W123 Canarian taxi that has traveled more than 7 million kilometers
Un meme in a WhatsApp group was enough to put us on the track of a car that all of Spain now knows. And the information about LA ESCUDERÍA has been replicated by numerous websites after and it even served to open the program zapping in La Sexta on November 8. By the way, the taxi continues to circulate today and accumulates more and more kilometers. Well we are happy.
The 12+1 best-selling cars in history
A classic, that of the list of best selling cars, which we update on the web with very good results in terms of readership. In our case, we try to find new data and add the most produced sports car in history. By the way, models like the Ford T, once the leader of the ranking, it no longer even appears in the top ten positions.
The DGT on the new Historic Regulation: vehicles will no longer be registered as historic to “change service”
Francisco de las Alas-Pumariño, Head of the Regulatory Unit of the General Directorate of Traffic, gave a conference on October 27 at the Forum-Exhibition “The Historical Vehicle: An Opportunity for the Future”. Thanks to her, we were able to see first-hand the point of view of the General Directorate of Traffic on the new Historical Regulations.
Goodbye to the new Historic Vehicle Regulation, the call for elections stops its approval
False alarm. At first, we all thought that the call for elections on July 23 the future Historical Regulations were going to hell. Fortunately, it seems that this will not be the case, since, in addition to repeating the government that was drafting it, there was a certain consensus between the parties to move it forward. Bad news that, fortunately, came to nothing, although we are still waiting for the new regulations.
20 classic cars for less than 2.000 euros
The most read article of the year has to do with the classics market. And, when looking for options, We're pulling out all the stops to collect up to 20 classics at rock-bottom prices. It is not a list that is going to arouse passions, but it is a compilation of cars that a large majority of fans touch the hearts of. And isn't that exactly what it's about?
