Wonderful picture's again Albert, lovely to see how you get some from above...and the nice glance of your picture's.

Also have to add the picture's bin taken from the iron chassis which will be galvanized and coated is only for the Wiesmann roadster;



Sadly all new work is now done in the new factory so no picture's of the all alu chassis from the GT so here a old one out my album, also I asked when they will give the roadster also a new alu chassis..but they said the "keep" it the old way, but my guess is that the roadster will also get the new alu chassis soon...



all alu parts...yummy

so yes its different then the roadster chassis;



Dink, can't wait for you next picture's biggrin

Ow and to all others you really have to visit the klassiekerrally in september and can not miss the opening in October from the Wiesmann factory and most likely news the Wiesmann GT V10 wow my nest dreamcar(got a few now hehe)

The making of the seats. They do have 1001 samples of cloth and leather to choose from. Not one W'mann looks the same. They're personal statements.


All piled up.


Cut 'n paste room.


This will be a dashboard soon.


I saw only one sewing machine!


This is real art: waving the elctric threads.


Wim likes the Gecko-logo too. In white this will fit nicely on a black shirt.


Can't get enough of the workshopfloor: wish I could work there!


Great place to lunch!

More to come . . .

Not so much different from the good old days at TVR then, judging from what's adorning the walls... wink

How much would it cost to buy one and bring it to the UK - isn't it around 60k upwards?

The lines are all so purfect! Mogs never caught my drift . . . dunno why.


Maybe because they lack the laidback easiness of these phat dzjermans. Little susp-travel here.


Daring interior . . .


More classic here . . .


I'd like a gecko glued to a metalic painted wall . . .


Baby, that red one is so inviting!


Going all artistic here.


Tweaked: just imagine this in matte purple.

More to come . . .

Heerlijke foto's Dink, die rode zou ik zelf niet kopen, maar tjonge die lonkt wel naar me zeg haha...

Trouwens leuk om ff te vermelden tussen de eerste types en de laatste types de kleine wijzigingen, zoals aan de zijkant de vin, op de eerdere exemplaren hebben daar een alu-rooster(zie grijze) en de laatste exemplaren een vin met richtingaanwijzer...(zie rode exemplaar)

Matte or red to dive into . . . I don't care really.


Going artistic again silly


Juicy, lemon juicy.


The kick inside.


Great arse.


Wide-angle fun.


Try Rene's car Wim, you know you want to!


Ready to roll! Big V8 rumble.


What did you say now Dink: quick in a comfortable kinda way? Stitches are in my back! Next!


DutchBert will soon find out if this V8 is really quicker than a Cerbera . . .


Nope! But mighty impressive though!


OK Rene, the truth: your Hartge truly is a beast. It delivers all the power you'll ever need and does so in a relaxed and effortless way. No way it's a racingcar. There's a quiet and very comfortable cockpit and vision all round is SUV-like. I'd say it's a GT. And one of today's few. I'd think twice in selling this beastie.

Next: more pics of the Hartge. Update your profile Rene biggrin

That can be, but they are so well put together that calling them 'kit cars' would really be an insult.

Nice pics Albert...
I should have had that haircut BEFORE we went to Wiesmann wink
