Competition for the Louwman Museum? No, not really. Although there are more Police Porsches in Spankeren than in The Hague.
Only the Police Porsches in Spankeren are in the display cases at Arno Wienands of '914Parts.nl'. Arno is multi-passionate. He likes cars, all Porsches a lot and 914's a lot of fun. And scale models, and old audio equipment, and vinyl, and figurines, he also really likes.
That 914 story is his living. But his enormous collection of model cars, figurines, posters and 'vinyl', together with his fascination for old audio equipment, ensure that he is happy to work very long days. Because life is short and because every minute wasted is 1.
And the intention is that his enormous collection of plates will also become part of his trade. When cataloging, he came to 'Abba' in any case.
In terms of model collection, Arno has done something very sensible. He has purchased all models new. And the boxes are neatly stored in the attic.
Because with nice scale models it is just like with classic cars and motorbikes: With sales you don't usually have to spend money on it.
But in the case of scale models, the original packaging must be just as undamaged as the models themselves.
