We as classic drivers are not unfamiliar with breakdowns on the road. And improvisation? We get away with that too. But sometimes a roadside repair is very endearing. We run this free site to support our monthly magazine Auto Motor Klassiek. We hope you appreciate all that work by such a dirt-cheap subscription to AMK.
But in this case we want to work even more to lower the threshold. An annual subscription will be raffled among those who submit the correct answer to “What is this”. Entries must be submitted within one week. We are curious.
The second thing
You can certainly lose things digitally. For example, we had contact with someone – so off the bat – from Haulerwijk. He has a nice car. We would lift the story about that over the heat wave. And now that it's so far? Has the Haulerwijk connection disappeared? What apologies for. If you are that Haulerwijker with that blue classic? Give a shout to the editors!

Temporary sealing of the brake or clutch fluid reservoir? The lamp only serves to close the rubber stopper tightly?
As they say: “Close, but no cigar”. The approach was good. You just stuck in the wrong hole. The one involved the improvised replacement of a lost oil filler cap on the block!
