Why a Morris Minor in particular as a classic? Other classic English cars of course also have good features and perhaps just as much comfort and space. No, for Rein the Morris Minor gives that little bit extra: A special style, reliable even after…
One of Auto Motor Klassiek's loyal readers approached us in an original way. He only emailed a valuation report of a Jaguar S-Type 3.8. Admittedly, that didn't lie. A very charming car was thoroughly assessed on numerous points. An…

The things that make Eddie rich are not in his wallet or in his bank account. It is purely his classic hobby that is important and gives a rich feeling. He says of his Vauxhall Victor 101: “If I…
To get straight to the point, this particularly beautiful bright red Original Mini is not factory original, but has been completely adapted to Regina's personal taste. The Austin Mini 1000 HLE from 1983 is a classic with its own…
Dries has this successful creation by Triumph owned for many years. And even better: the beautiful red Triumph Spitfire MK3 from 1968 can still regularly be seen on the road at regional rides and national club days. As a regional coordinator, he organizes…
A trident. A spear with a personality disorder. Or cutlery for a lover of five pound steaks. And traditionally the weapon from the PSU of Poseidon, a God from the time when people still believed in Gods. And the unimaginative ones. But dramatically charged type name for three-cylinder combustion engines. The Triumph So trident.
Sometimes you have a chance encounter where the owner is excited to show his 'small classic car' to others. He wanted to reveal that he was a great enthusiast of small classic cars such as the Italian bambinos (Fiat/Autobianchi) and English saloons such as this Austin A30. However, we were not told the story behind the car and that is why we thought it would be fun to delve into the (advertising) past of this 'everyman's' car.
Joost had to endure his crush for 20 years before this Volvo P 1800 came into the picture. His active driver's heart came to rest with the purchase of this stylish and now very striking classic. He came to the Netherlands from England (right hand drive) in 2009.
We rely on tips, but also a good network to track down enthusiastic classic enthusiasts. This is how we tracked down a creative and striking personality with a warehouse full of classical beauties from the 30s and 40s.
It was overcast that day with a lot of showers, uncle Arie won a roulade at the bingo in the evening and Henk Wijngaard's Container song rose to number 17 in the top 40. Probably more people can remember that better than the introduction of the Morris Ital on the same Tuesday, 1 July 1980. But we have not forgotten him.
The sticker on the back of this beautiful beige Ford Anglia de luxe betrays that the owner was a member of the English Ford Club Netherlands. Owners of all Fords produced in England could become members. This real stylish original Dutch registered car belonged completely to the club of enthusiasts.
The classic shapes and exclusive appearance were the reason for a notary in Antwerp to purchase a new Rover 90. He had to be transported in style every day to make an impression. And thus also to indicate…
Jan and Ciska have two passions. First of all, their work as operators of a very nice sailing clipper (LENA-ADRIANA), providing many tourists with pleasant hours. In addition, they have always had a passion for classic cars. Over the years, Jan has been able to give more cast-offs a second life. And is still looking for new opportunities.
Eelco's grandfather bought this beautiful, then brand new Vauxhall Cresta from NV Autocentrale Alkmaar in 1965. Now 55 years later, the Vauxhall still radiates power and luxury. Eelco advised us to give the car a try...
This Austin A 40 Sedan has traditionally been a venerable quality brand. Perhaps that is why the classic has still not given up its fight for existence - after 72 years. The car was in the collection of Willem Keizer from Stadskanaal, who collects old vehicles from the Second World War and gives them a new life.
Recently I drove for a client on a new one Triumph Bonneville. An iconic motorcycle type from a brand with an illustrious name. A tribute to everything that was once British. Oh yes: the new Bonnies are made in Thailand. But Benelli is now a Chinese brand and Royal Enfield is working overtime in India.
