Gijs Van Lennep Classic 2012

[dinkel]

This T57 was a prototype for a T that never came . . .
Gorgeous thing this we bumped into with the intention to go for a forrest stroll. We changed our minds as we thought there would some sort of rally in the neighbourhood. We turned our car an found a pack of classics heading for the old military airport in our area. Lovely collection of drivers queued up for a stamp: Gijs Van Lennep Classic 2012

More to come.

Collecting the stamp. Lovely Lage Vuursche area.


Blasting by. "These cars go pretty quick in a straight line - I'd hardly catch up with the diesel Punto - but around bends they are quite a challenge."

Old an new Pork:

Awesome RSR:

Last year I encountered this equipe in a wild Mustang . . .


. . . this RSR sounded wild even at idle . . .


. . . mated with period Jap cousin . . .


. . . which followed the same recipe: tafe off like a complete hooligan. Pork won the sound byte comp hands down: what a riot!

[dinkel]

More Porkers:

[dinkel]

French bred:

DS cabrio.


A lovely example in a fine blueish greenish colour.


604 V6

Jap howl:

240 Zed at full chat.

Yank muscle:

How the bloody hell does this sound!


Still odd to see one seemingly on steriods compared to the original GT40. The Ford GT = GT 50!

[dinkel]

British beef:

McLaren MP4-12C at launch: not as spectacular as a period Lambo or Fcar.


XK150 DHC


Every Rally has it's Big Healey.


Reliant Scimitar GTE.


Bristol 410 or 411? A very rare sight over here.

An interesting selection there. This Bristol is a 411, a Series 5 I think. There is quite an active section of the Bristol Owners' Club in Holland. There's about 20 or so cars over there I think.

Looks like fun

Unfortunately, the Big Bad Roller is in fact a Lagonda LG6, but lovely nontheless.

Definitely a finer car (definite bias)

The Italians:

Giulia in the best matching colour, IMO.


Weber fed four sounds a treat.


Abarth Pininfarina 124 Coupe brute.


Gorgious Fulvia V4.


Coupe write up here


Duetto boattail.

Stunning Lancia Flaminia Zagato Sport.






More italian to come.
