Dear classic car enthusiast,
After a short holiday and a very special visit to the Brooklands Museum in England yours truly has been testing and photographing 27 newly arrived classic and sports cars for sale over the last week. These automobiles will be added to the ClassicarGarage sales collection in the weeks to come!
Today you can enjoy six beautiful new arrivals for sale like a perfectly restored 1966 Lancia Flaminia 'Touring' coupe, a unique left hand drive 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith and an exhilarating 'pocket rocket':... A 1989 Donkervoort S8A!
Next weekend, 1 and 2 July, we can again admire all the beauty on the 2017 edition of the Concours d'élégance Paleis het Loo in Apeldoorn the Netherlands! Visitors are being asked to dress in period style so to become part of the vintage atmosphere.
A pretty good example of 'period dress' can be seen in the video interview BBC Surrey had with yours truly during the Brooklands Double Twelve Motorsport Festival on Saturday 17 June! Furthermore, I proudly present a series of books about iconic British sports cars. The book series is a production of the American author John Nikas, Dutch photographer Marc Vorgers and the British publisher Amberley Publishing. The first title 'The Big Healeys' will be available on 15 July!
Enjoy the ride!
Very truly yours,
Marc Vorgers. *Type-errors and price changes reserved. Subscribe to the E-mail newsletter to be informed of ALL prices. You can subscribe to this monthly newsletter at the right bottom of the website.

 |
|
|
LLancia Flaminia ‘Touring’ 2.8 Litre 3C coupe, year 1966. Colour blue metallic with a red leather interior and grey carpet. This stunning Lancia Flaminia was fully restored and overhauled about ten years ago by a world renowned Dutch restoration firm. The automobile is in superb TOP condition; concours! The car has been restored, build-up and driven-in incredibly well; this Flaminia is the finest example I have ever driven. This is a true ‘gentleman’s coupe’ and a driver car par excellence!
Price: On application*.

 |
|
|
Triumph TR 3A, year 1958. Colour ‘Apple Green’ with a beige leather interior and beige carpet. Beige soft-top. This beautiful Triumph TR 3a was extensively and ‘body-off’ restored twenty years ago.

| SAAB 96 850 'SHORT-NOSE', 1961 | |
 |
|
|
Saab 96, year 1961. Colour black with a red/ grey interior. This is a so called ‘short-nose’ 850 2-stroke model in very original and good condition. After having been garaged for a couple of years the brake system was renewed / overhauled and the car received extensive service by a Saab 2-stroke specialist recently. The Saab 96 2-stroke is a fantastic classic with a strong personality. The Saab 2-stroke driving experience is very special!

|
| DONKERVOORT S8A, 1989 | |
 |
|
|
Donkervoort S8A, year 1989. Colour British Racing Green with a black leather interior. This tremendous Donkervoort is in very good original condition and the car has driven 58.000 kilometres form new. The driving experience of this ‘pocket rocket’ is very intense and communicative; the 2-Litre Ford four-cylinder engine with petrol injection delivers 120 bhp and the car weighs only about 600 kilogrammes. The car is very low and wide build which guarantees very high cornering speeds in combination with the enormous grip of the wide wheel/ tire combination. The driver and passenger fit snugly in the leather bucket seats and the sensations of speed and the G-forces in the curves are communicated to them almost unfiltered. These cars are at home on twisty country roads as well as on a racing circuit!
Price: Euro 29.500,--*.

The roof top is a unique TVR design; it consists of a foldable ‘targa’ part and a detachable roof-panel which fits snugly in the boot. This is a top-specimen!

In the weekend of 17 and 18 June yours truly visited the Brooklands Double Twelve Motor Sport Festival. The trip, with a 1973 Citroën DS 23 Pallas, was extra special because I was accompanied by my father who wanted to see the old Brooklands circuit, the very special cars and the Museum with his own eyes! Paul Stewart of the Brooklands Museum surprised me with a BBC Surrey interview in which I could share my passion for Brooklands with BBC Surrey radio listeners and watchers on BBC Surrey social media. Watch the video of this passionate interview on the BBC Surrey Facebook page via the link below.
