With these oldtimers or youngtimers it is final verkeerd afgelopen.
Where else can you find places in the Netherlands where the elements have free rein and have done their work for years? Where the beauty of the decline can still be seen? We found a beautiful place in Gelderland where some special…
Emotionally speaking: What goes on in the minds of people who leave their cars in gardens, sheds and sheds to rust away? We don't understand it, it has been someone's pride and joy and also a piece of someone's...
A desolate Daimler from the Jaguar stable, which in the past thousands of people have worked on to make something beautiful, is now ready for the Hoogovens. It's a cast-off from our throw-away society. Do you remember?
Actually, I can't remember ever being able to spot a special car in the open air in the Netherlands. But on Friday, July 30, I saw this car to my amazement. You could tell he had once been under a tarpaulin.
Abandoned, lost classics are everywhere. Many of those veterans are going 'down the drain'. They are reborn as table bases or coat hangers. But what if you see three of those lost copies in a neatly paved yard behind a nice farmhouse? That is mildly surprising.
In 1963, the Rootes Group launched the Hillman Imp, as an antidote to the successful Mini from rival British Motor Corporation. The Imp was a lot more conventional than its stubborn counterpart. It was just a small car with the engine in the back…
Holden is a car brand that is not common in Europe. It is an Australian product from General Motors. Australia is a nation with its own identity and - until recently - its own car industry. Even though it is…
It won't be long before this DAF camper is deeply anchored in the earth, the elements have had free rein for years. The owner may see this unique DAF as a storage type, but for us it is a sad sight. It speaks for itself…
For us, the concept of 'Banger racing' has no charm. On the contrary, we like to see special vintage cars being saved. This Ford is ready to finish in such a race and was specially brought from a scrap yard in Germany for this purpose. An…
A GPS system is a revelation, not only that addresses are found flawlessly, but that the route often takes the smallest roads, even dirt paths. All at the command of a sweetly voiced lady's voice. And so we drove into…
The French Limousin is empty and unspoiled. In such a region, there's little chance of finding much in the way of classics beyond some antiques and old farm equipment. So in that respect, the holiday wasn't as successful. But it was there...
Looking at the pictures will also convince you that you will not be able to make it with this Mini Clubman Estate by just 'touching up'. The 1973 cart, dating from 15, has been sitting in a garden about XNUMX kilometers away for decades…
When you see this Jaguar S-type 3.8 Liter from 1966, tears come to your eyes. After a carburetor fire, the Edele Roofkat (as punishment?) had to spend at least three decades outside in the open air. Nature had…
Spending through the British landscape, on a so-called 'gravel road' near Wareham, County Dorset, England, the Austin A55 Cambridge was discovered. Looks like an object dating from around 1957? An elderly passer-by walking his dog...
If you have delved a little into the classic world, you will probably have noticed that the MG Magnette ZA and ZB are developing nicely in terms of price. That's because they are in the area behind us…
We have come across a lot of special things in our working lives. And those finds are usually shared with you. However, you are always amazed at how it got to this point. This also applies to 'the discovery' in the British…
The enthusiasm (perhaps sparked by third parties) to restore a classic yourself can be very painful for you. This recently happened to an MG enthusiast in the British West Drayton, County of Middlesex who saw an MG Midget. Despite the correct description…
It must now also be clear to you that the Citroën HY/HZ is enjoying increasing interest. And not only in circles of classic enthusiasts. Such a 'chip truck' still has to work for it even in its old age. Indeed, still as…
The AC Cobras are among the most iconic cars in history. The demand for these legendary sports cars was so great from the start that entire tribes in England and America focused on copying Cobras. But…
Touring through the British countryside in Buxton, Derbyshire, on what they call a "messy yard," attention is drawn by two 4x4s leaning almost against each other like brothers. Elderly Land Rovers? No, they're two Austin Gipsy...
