We all have a tendency to find everything beautiful from the time of our youth, don't we?
The word Beetle sounds familiar to many people. Many people immediately associate the word with the Volkswagen, which evokes memories for many people. Memories of a disappeared street scene. That does not apply to David Halbersma, because he is only 19 years old and would like to keep this 1303 Volkswagen Beetle 1973 on the road as a hobby car. David is one of the young enthusiastic classic enthusiasts who likes to show his classic in the area.
BMW made 'old cock engines'. That was clearly the perception of the more dynamic motorcyclists after the arrival of the large, fast Japanese four-cylinder. But sturdy blond techies with square foreheads above their blue eyes can of course also go crazy. Also at BMW. If you just give them the chance. So the BMW K1.
Everywhere we go we look for interesting oldtimers, classics or youngtimers. We found this BMW 325i in the parking position, but still managed to find the owner Jan Groen for the story behind the BMW.
“Unique” is a word you should really avoid. Especially when it concerns an 'ordinary' classic, such as this Ford Taunus 1600 L, because in addition to ownership, it is the personal memories that provide added value to the family.
Owning a 1/1 model often leads to the purchase of a miniature, do you recognize that? But can it also be the other way around? In the display case in Feike Jan's garage is a small model of the Opel A Manta, exactly in the color of the Opel his father had.
This very beautiful VW-Porsche 914 was imported from sunny California by Bert Zijlstra. Bert's hunt focuses on impressive models from the United States, which can be Italian purebreds or German classics and many other models that exude exclusivity.
If you grew up in the 50s/60s of the last century, then this Heinkel is probably still a well-known scooter. The brands that were in charge at the time were the Italians with the Vespa and the Lambretta, while the Heinkel Tourist was also sold well in the Netherlands.
In 1973, Douwe Land purchased a new Opel Kadett Caravan for the careful and correct delivery of the packages he was transporting. Douwe Land could transport everything, long, wide, heavy, vulnerable and fresh. The Opel Kadett Caravan was the preferred means of transport for delivery in the region.
How can an international businessman who has been buying (and selling) wholesale lots for over 40 years escape the bustle of business life? If business is a lifestyle and business acumen is active 24 hours a day, is there still free time? Yes, because Epie still has a love for motorized treats from his childhood, and that influence is still felt. People who are attracted by the same (car) passion will understand.
A beautiful story of father and son with a healthy dose of car enthusiasts. In 2015 a Volkswagen Scirocco was found and the passion broke through to start a restoration job. It was the right thing to do, nothing could stop them, it felt good and they both let themselves be guided by a fantastic sense of pleasure. If you are enthusiastic, then nothing seems difficult, but it took at least 5 years of hard work to prepare the Volkswagen for a second life.
It is better to give a warning in advance, because this is an incredible story. It concerns a find of a unique Ford Capri from the first owner, of which the invoice indicates a purchase price of 42.000 guilders.
Pieter Visser has a surplus of passion for the German Opel, not for a few years, but for his entire life. How this came about is easy to explain. His father was completely preoccupied with Opel from his first Manta 16 S, which he bought at the dealer for 70 Dutch guilders in the 10.000s. After that, many would follow. The Opel experience has been taken over by Pieter with major consequences.
