CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 128, 28 APRIL 2017

 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
The spring is doing her utmost best to please us. From the cockpit of my classic Triumph
TR 6 the winding country roads are bordered by a blurry fresh green haze. The six-cylinder engine revs enthusiastic, I cut the curves an inch sharper and I feel… Magnificent! Just a weekday out and about in the countryside. This sensation can be enjoyed every day: Driving a classic (sports) car is a thrill for all your senses!
Today I present sixteen newly arrived classic and sports cars for sale at our quality garages. Two of these are boldly pictured above: A unique couple of rare 1960’ies Honda S800 models, a coupe and a convertible, both for sale at Lex Classics. Furthermore, you will find exclusive automobiles like the magnificent Facel Vega Facel II which comes with an intriguing story, a very rare 1946 WestLand Healey Roadster with a lot of Mille Miglia experience, a tremendous 1979 Maserati Merak with ultra-low mileage in like new original condition, and more fine classics to entice you! Farther below you see a list of cars which have been tested and photographed over the last days. These automobiles may be expected on the ClassicarGarage website next week.
     
Enjoy the ride!
 
Very truly yours,
Marc Vorgers.
