ClassicarGarage Newsletter 32, March 25 2009 |
|
|
In todays newsletter we present amongst others two beautiful classics which have been added to our sales collection. At Geert Jan Peters Automobile Restorers we added: a fantastic 1980 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider 'coda tronca' in superb (excellent+) condition and a scarce 1965 Ford Taunus 20m TS hardtop coupe in superb (excellent++) condition, near concourse! Both automobiles come with perfect history and service files! We were just informed by Smiths-Veglia that a 1971 Citroen SM in brand new concourse (show) condition has arrived!
We also present a few other interesting items like the beautiful website Coachbuild.com and the intriguing 'Historischer Autofriedhof Gurbetal'. Very nice is the historic video about the 1967 CAN AM Challenge Cup. 'Last but not least' we pay attention to the Essen Techno Classica 2009 which will start shortly.
Sincerely,
Marc Vorgers. Click the photographs to view the photo reportages immediately!

Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider, 1980 |
|
|
Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider, year 1980. 'Coda Tronca' model, type 115.38. Colour red with a black leather interior and a black soft top. This fantastic Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider is in superb (excellent+) original condition! The only Dutch owner bought the car on May 4 1995 in Switzerland as it had driven only 27.000 kilometers from new!
This fine Alfa Romeo was serviced and maintained perfectly and the car drives absolutely perfect! The complete (service) history is known and fully documented. Currently the automobile has driven 67.881 kilometers from new which can be proven by the service logs. In the year 2000 the car was given an extensive Dinitrol anti corrosion treatment. In the year 2003 the automobile was taken apart for a professional new paint job. In that year also the seats were upholstered with black leather. It will be very hard to find a more beautiful and better Alfa Romeo 2000 spider 'coda Tronca'! Price: Euro 16.500,--*.

This special and scarce Ford Taunus hardtop coupe is in superb (excellent++) original condition, near concourse! This beautiful car is fully original. In the past the car was given perfect new paint. The first Swiss owner was a meticulous and courteous person... He recorded all times the car was filled up with petrol and every service in log books! The service history from 1965 until the year 1993 is recorded in detail! From the year 1993 the ford was part of a Swiss classic car collection. In the year 2009 the car was imported to the Netherlands. The automobile features a delightful V6 engine and a Stainless Steel exhaust! This is a scarce Ford Taunus, between the years 1964 and 1967 only 9.478 TS hardtop coupe's have been built. In comparison, of the 'normal' two door model 424.331 cars were built.

| Location - 'Historischer Autofriedhof Gurbetal' (Switzerland) | |
|
In newsletter 25 we payed attention to the books which have been written about the Michel Douvaz collection. His exclusive collection was discovered in the year 1986 partially grown over by nature. In Switzerland you can witness other 'sleeping beauties' from the 1940'ies, 50'ies and 60'ies in a wonderful scrapyard scenery. Do not wait too long if you want to pay a visit because the future existence of the 'Historischer Autofriedhof Gurbetal' is very uncertain!

| Video - CAN AM Challenge Cup 1967 | |
|
The most spectacular racing class ever was the Canadian American Challenge Cup (CAN AM). The heydays of this cup were between the years 1966 and 1974. So tremendous that we an only dream about it.
The CAN AM group 7 was an almost unrestricted class. Every technical development was allowed as long a the cars had two seats and bodywork covering the wheels. The enormous V8 and 12 cylinder boxer engines were often fitted with turbochargers or Roots type chargers giving engine capacities up to 1500 bhp. From April 24 until April 26 2009 you may probably see these magnificent monsters again during the Hockenheim Historic!
