Recent Heritage Cars Delft visit.

Cisitalia 202


Moody pic: the showroom is also part workshop


That Matra Djet looks the part: what a car!


The Heritage Cars stock is a mix of gorgeous pre war cars, driveable classics and rare breed


The Daf is a rally car. 1935 Singer Le Mans 1.5 Litre 6 cylinder two-seater looks like a perfect daily to me > https://www.heritagecars.nl/cars/singer-le-mans-1-...

Local Alfa Romeo specialist open house:

Superb looking 1971 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior


Hot rod in the making


Plastic logo covers on that 1300 have seen some action


The double headlight GTV is my favorite iteration.


What about this colour? Fantastic combo.

I think the blue strip distracts from the inherent 'rightness' of the shape.

Great pics, as usual.

Youngtimer Podcast Meeting Maasvlakte 20-05-2024

The Netherlands have quite a vibrant car scene and I see more and more young ones dropping by at car meets



C&C regular Mikey brought his 964 RWB tribute.


Roel brought the right Youngtimer to this meeting: original Renault Twingo is a jewel and in my eye an R4 successor.


Discussion: why a Busso when a TS is weight distribution perfection?


Rare Iso Lele in porn beige Maserati like leather


Balkon van Europa


JP showed up in a 70s icon: Reliant Scimitar GTE


Roy brought his new aquisition: a 250 brake Selespeed 147

More of the Dutch Octane Magazine Cars & Coffee 06

All went quiet when this very rare AMX/3 built by Bizzarrini entered the grid. Only five were built. Insanely cool


Speed8 Classics is a Belgium specialist which is particulary interested in cars touched by Bizzarrini.


Profile has a touch of the 'Miura' sketches Touring did in 1966, and also the P538 comes to mind.


Citroen CX Prestige Turbo II in a fantastic red.


It's a Petersen build but who cares? Very impressive sight & sound.


Just look at it!

I love a wedge shaped supercar as much as anyone, but that is just fantastic. Imagine being a little kid and dad takes you to a car meet in that.

Surely a tremendous sense of occasion, what a thing!

Great photos and thread!

Last bits of the s123 and w111 by Binz:

Wonderful s123 is a Kombi from heaven. Five pot three litre non-turbo oil burner!


This w111 by Binz is from another planet. Also slow and persistent and utterly comfy. But with a class of its own.


Inside it's like sitting in a living room. I could live in here.


Only a handful survived and this might be the best example around. It was featured in a 2023 Mercedes Enthusiast issue.


Grandmaster Noortje Blokland at work and Rob and myself assisting to bloch light and soften shadows.


In the 70s when I was a kid I adored the Benz style radiators and hubcaps.
