*ClassicarGarage Newsletter 42, November 17 2009*
Dear classic car enthusiast, The last weeks I enjoyed road testing and photographing a wide variety of classic and collector cars for our sales collection. I drove excellent quality English roadsters of the makes Austin Healey, Triumph and MG. Amongst these two six cylinder MGC models, a GT and a roadster. I was surprised by a fantastic driving 1974 Alfa Romeo Alfasud in excellent original condition, too bad so few survived! Another eye opener was a beautifully restored 1958 Chevrolet Impala hardtop coupe. This 'Top of the line' Impala features a 'Big Bloc Turbo-Thrust' V8 engine and a very special Turboglide 'step less' automatic gearbox! Last but not least I had the honour to drive a perfect Porsche 356 Speedster for the sixth time in my life. The one presented for sale today shows the delightful classic colours of a Ivory white body and red leather. This magnificent Speedster was restored to the highest possible level by a US specialist... Sincerely, Marc Vorgers.
