Dear classic car enthusiast,
Summer is in full song in our region, it feels like we are living in France these days! Delightful conditions to enjoy our open sports cars to the fullest, especially in the evenings when the winding country roads are empty and the restaurants and terraces invite us for a well deserved 'bite' or drink.
In this newsletter I present fourteen newly arrived classic and sports cars for sale. Furthermore, you can admire updates on four restoration projects which are currently in the works at Altena Classic Service, Amicale Facel Holland and at Classic Job. You will also find a list of new arrivals which you may expect on the website and in the next newsletter. Sixteen cars have already been tested and photographed.
Over the last weeks also a lot of newly arrived 'vintage original' products have been added to our Classentials WEB-SHOP! Check out our beautiful selection of 30 original classic car radios (also fully bespoke!), Lucas spot-lamps, vintage special finds, Halda rally equipment and much, much more!
Enjoy the ride, Very truly yours,
Marc Vorgers. N.B. Dear reader, you receive our newsletter because you have actively subscribed to it,

| DODGE CHARGER BODY RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE | |
 |
|
|
This very impressive Dodge charger (yes, the same model as the ‘General Lee’ which features in the classic American TV-series ‘the Dukes of Hazzard’) is being restored to top condition at CLASSIC JOB. The car was fully stripped and the bodywork was stripped of paint by a special and very effective ‘bathing‘-process. Immediately after the paint was stripped the body was given a protective coating to prevent surface corrosion of the baked metal. As you can see in the pictures the body is very sound, some rusty spots at the rear have to be restored. This proved not to be entirely true after opening hollow spaces, at the rear end more internal rust was found. Now the sheet metal work has been completed!
