Purchasing classics there

In its garden center in the Frisian Hurdegaryp, this Renault 4 GTL stands between colorful and strongly fragrant flowers and plants. What you don't smell is the gluttonous rust that has slyly made its mark. The rust devils came to eat the Renault in a closed column. It started at the bottom and is now active in sheet metal work.

Klaas Piekstra has several classics available from friends that can serve as decoration. For example, there is a classic 2 CV van and in his garage at home there is still a 2CV in running condition. Speaking of variation in 'attraction'.

Preference

Why preference for classic cars that could not escape and lost the fight against rust? Because it is a real customer puller. It is an opportunity for him to start a conversation with the customer. The charm of an old car, in any condition, never stops. And as a promotional tool for his plant kingdom extremely suitable.

Wanderings of the Renault 4 GTL

After a customer photographed the Renault 4 GTL, he appeared on a Renault site. The first owner spotted the photo and contacted Klaas and told him it was his mother's first car. After a few years, the car was sold and disappeared to Morocco. Later he came back in a different color. The dark blue had now changed to light blue. In the Netherlands, the new owner tried to restore the car, but soon the courage sank. The condition of the car was downright disastrous and therefore suitable for the Blast Furnaces. Eventually, the Renault surfaced and was equipped for its new decorative task as a decoration model in the garden center. Business a good destination for the French foursome. No more power and performance for the Renault. But he now shows the beauty of the flowers and plants in his place of honor in the garden center Florahoek in Hurdegaryp.
