CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 171, 28 OCTOBER 2021

 
 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
The days are getting shorter again and slowly the autumn colours are preparing us for the last two months of the year. In contrast to other years, the photos still show an abundance of green leaves in the trees! Today I present you updates on the impressive restorations at Amicale Facel Holland and Classic Job. A new project of a Jensen CV8 has been added at Classic Job. You will also be introduced to eight excellent classic cars, vintage cars, and sports cars for sale, including two Lancia Beta models in completely original condition and with a very low mileage. Our Classentials web shop has also been supplemented with various special and rare classic car radios, vintage accessories, and 1960s Corgi Toys models. "Enjoy the Ride!" 
 
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers.

FACEL VEGA HK-500 RESTORATION BY AMICALE FACEL HOLLAND
 
This magnificent 1961 Facel Vega HK-500, with chassis number HK1 CG4, is the last built HK-500! The car is being restored by Amicale Facel Holland. The restoration started in 2020 as the car was fully stripped in preparation of the sheet metal work. Now, the sheet metal work is completed and the bodywork was coated in a special KTL* bath. *'Kathodische Tauch Lackierung' (electrostatic dipping lacquer). With the aid of a direct current voltage, the paint particles are drawn to the product and a layer of paint is formed on the surface. In this way it is possible to provide hard-to-reach places with a layer of lacquer. More information on the website.

PORSCHE 912 SWB (F-SERIES) RESTORATION BY CLASSIC JOB
 
This Porsche 912 (F-series) body from 1965 is being restored to top condition by Classic Job for a customer from Switzerland. The bodywork arrived completely stripped and in a very rusty and poor condition at the Classic Job workshop, only the roof was found to be free of rust. After a full inspection of the structure it was discovered that this short wheelbase Porsche 912 was modified to long wheelbase at some point in time. Look closely at the photos to see the non-original seams and poorly executed old repairs. This Porsche F-series body is the worst 911/912 we've seen yet. The Classic Job craftsmen restore this Porsche 912 body to factory original short wheelbase specifications.
