    Quite a modest car – albeit with a long life.

    New music, old car.

  • John Borstlap says:

    The car looks exactly like his works sound.

    • Pianofortissimo says:

      The difference is that his auto could take someone somewhere.

        I had an uncle who had a car just like that. After every 12 hours of driving, cumulating I mean, it would break down and stop in the middle of nowhere.

    Why this car obsession?

    Did it have a twelve-cylinder engine?

    I would have expected him to be more of a Vorsprung durch Technik kind of a guy.

    Bayreuth 1968: I distinctly remember PB driving a Mercedes two-seater convertible, registered in Baden-Baden (his home at that time).

  • Tamino says:

    Boulez was a man who wanted to get efficiently from start to end without much ado. Not withstanding to enjoying what life has to offer on the way. (convertible)

  • Pianofortissimo says:

    Manual or automatic gearbox?
