A 2017 Nico Ockhuisen visit memory:

I have a serious soft spot for the W114/5 series and the follow up W123. Check out this nice coupe in Extreme Elfenbein.


More W123: Kombi love.


And then there's the 300-series: Adenauer limo. The W186 series offers all you can expect from a car that in period could easily compete with the equivalent, like a Bentley or Rolls Royce.

Check https://www.ockhuisencollectie.nl/ for more.

A good morning out with the Italian Car Lovers.

Tachyon Motorsport: Saturday, but prepping Mille Miglia cars just the same. Imaculate Jaguar XK120.


Now there's a great way to display your die cast models...


Everything goes, as long as it's Italian: twolitre 147, twolitre GTV and 6.3 litre 740 ps Ferrari F12.

Yeah, well..


Perfect picture ruined by a briefcase...

In 2017, I was at Charles Serry in Nieuwegein (Nls) and saw this tasty replica of Old Number One, based on a Bentley Mk6.

Fantastic details. This must be a hoot to drive on a sunday morning.


Road legal!


The engine borrowed from the Mk6 is hardly a 6.5 or 8 litre, but that would be a step too far for a road legal car. The original Old Number One won LM twice!

Dutch Octane Scramble 04, last Sundaymorning:


Good to see a Series 1 (1970) Lamborghini Espada actually has a lower roofline than a 1980s Alfa Romeo GTV6!


Cool Sunday morning Octane Magazine NL Scramble 04 at Amersfoort. Short hoon to pick up a dozen #DauwtrappeRS and then exploring the field: 350 special cars to view and owners to meet. Saw many familiar faces to talk to.


Favorite Le Mans Blu Alfa Romeo Giulia Nuova.


Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet gear.

More:

Our gang, parked as a group. As you do.


1965 Lancia Flavia 1.8 and what a beauty!
MGB is not bad too.


Marcos interior: wow.


Lancia Beta Spider was a sure 80s favorite. Between 1974 and 1982 a mere 8,594 were built.


Autobianchi A113 in Abarth guise: I like it and now I want one.

Dipping my toes into 2002 916 TS Lusso ownership: power hood, so living on the edge!

Excellent drop top driving: heater works and beanie messes up my hair.

More Gijs van Lennep Classic rallye.

Lots of Porsche 911 and this one looks the absolute bizz.


On the other end of the power spectrum: back in the day SAAB won rallyes with this little bugger. Two-stroke!


More 911. In my eye the Targa is the definition of the model.


The cute SAAB aero.


Sleek E-type is quite something else...


This looks good... but it's a wrap. So, no...


More 911: the grid was packed...

More Octane Scramble 3, last summer.

Pretty cool selection of about 400 cars.


There's always a Moggie around when you need one.


Ford Edsel oh lala.


Gorgeous 1959 interior.

A spring 2023 Alfa Romeo workshop tour ended at the Tachyon Motorsport outfit:

Summer 2023 this Spyker C8 GT2 R was autioned at RM Sotheby's https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/lm23/le-mans/lo...


Between 2005 and 2008 this car raced the tracks and it did well at the 2005 Le Mans until something broke...


One of just 61 Maserati A6 1500 GT


Lovely Alfa Romeo Sprint with sunroof


Jaguar XK120 ready for the 2023 Mille Miglia

Dutch Octane magazine, Scramble 04:

This Volvo 244 was one of the absolute highlights.


A #DauwtrappeRS hack: the Justin Alfa Romeo Nuova Giulia 1600.


Sleek Ford Mustang Mach 1: this is the 1971-1973 model.


Bart brought his spectacular Porsche 911 G Model


For me this is 911 perfection.

Dutch Octane Scramble 03, last summer

Splendid Alfa Romeo Berlina 2000.


Marcos 1800 GT is small. And light. And pretty quick with a Volvo mill between the front wheels.


One of the absolute rockers of the meeting had to be this cute 70s Civic. Flawless.


Dutchies love their Lancia. There are quite a lot of Delta's over here.


Could this be a Triumph TR6? I can't remember, but this certainly looks like a thirsty fella.

Still one of the best examples of an early 70s Alfa Romeo GTV, at least in my eye.

A build like this 1972 will get you a car to your spec.


Kasteel De Haar is voted most beautiful castle in The Netherlands.


Proud owner shows his dream car came true.


Basic interior has all a driver needs.


Cute Italian style plate looks the business.

Early Seven?


Finding shiny bits for arty snaps


Very old car with very new interior


Monceau 001 at display


Electrifying classic cars is often een risky affair. I can imagine an EV DS, Merc or Rolls. The eSLC fits that bill and it's a delight to drive.

Stupid car meeting 17 Dec 2023

Image Street Classics is a C&C favorite


When did you last see a Ferrari BB512?!


What a profile... Back in the mid 70s to mid 80s it was this or a Countach, or a 930...


Inside that BB512
