The Golf II (never made as a convertible) has then been discontinued for 3 years. Its successor, the Golf III Cabriolet […] More
When owner Marc gladly informs me that we are allowed to photograph a great 50 year old 7 seater station wagon, it could be German, French, Swedish or American, but in any case something beautiful. When a few days later I'm in a neighborhood in Amstelveen where a garage door slowly has a pointed nose with a split […] More
I call A about the sale of his BMW 6 Series E24. He has to sell it because of his return to Suriname. “Forever!” he adds when I have him on the phone. "But the roads are too bad for this car so I'm selling it." He turns out to be the BMW 633 CSi 38 […] More
This time we were allowed to drive a real Swedish evergreen, a Volvo 240 GL Injection (B 200 E engine with K-Jetronic) in excellent condition. The car even had a full maintenance history and has had only two owners in its years. We are reacquainted with the unexpected and therapeutic qualities of the Swedish hit song. More

Decline in old cars and tightening tax rules
The total number of old cars overall decreased for the second year in a row. At the start of 2015, there were fewer 22.429 cars in the category with an age of 25 or older compared to a year earlier.
