Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
This month we are on the verge of 2020! In the New Year ClassicarGarage celebrates its
20th anniversary! That implicates that yours truly has now photographed and presented about 5000 classic and sports cars. A selection of these classics can be seen and heard in our archives, and the most popular British classics are also presented in the books which you can purchase (signed by yours truly) in our Classentials web-shop!
 
Today I present six newly arrived classic and sports cars for sale and updates on two restoration projects. We have also added gorgeous and rare vintage original classic car accessories to our Classentials web-shop.
 
Also on behalf of our garages I wish you a very Merry Chrismas and a Happy 2020!
 
Enjoy the ride,
 
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers.
