CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 136, 5 JANUARY 2018

 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
I wish you, also on behalf of our garages, a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is always a great feeling to enter a fresh new year with new challenges, interesting perspectives, new encounters and surprising adventures!
2018 starts with the addition of a new ClassicarGarage partner company; CLASSIC JOB in Dalfsen, the Netherlands. Below you can read an article about this renowned Dutch restoration company, illustrated with ten photographs to have a look inside the workshops! From January 1st the firm of Lex Classics is no longer a ClassicarGarage partner. After a very successful partnership of 10 years Lex Classics is entering a new course of business in 2018. I wish Lex Classics and all the employees all the best for the future and I thank them for the pleasant co-operation.
 
Next week the Maastricht InterClassics show will open its gates for the 25th year in succession! Our garages will be present on this anniversary edition with many beautiful classic and sports cars from the CCG sales collection and some 'surprises' which will be tested and photographed shortly!
 
Naturally I also present a selection of newly arrived classic cars for sale! Admire two stunning Lotus Elans, a rare 1933 Mercedes-Benz 200 (W21) cabriolet, a beautiful and very original Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, a magnificent BMW 653 CSI and a fantastic Porsche 928 GTS!
     
Enjoy the ride,
 
Very truly yours,
Marc Vorgers.
