CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 157, 15 MAY 2020

 
 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
Over the last weeks we have enjoyed fantastic sunny and warm weather in our region. Thanks to the 'intelligent lock-down' in the Netherlands clients and other classic car owners have enjoyed their cars on trips close to home or to visit our garages and showrooms.
 
In May we have parted company with Classic Cars Friesland after a 20 year partnership, and with Smiths Veglia after a partnership of 18 years. This is not Corona related but planned from early 2020. Mr. Dragstra of Classic Cars Friesland has chosen a new line of activity and Mr. Fluttert of Smiths-Veglia has closed the business. Our partnership was very enjoyable and we have done wonderful things together. We wish them all the best for the future and 'au revoir'! 

Of course yours truly has also tested and photographed gorgeous classic and sports cars of which you will see nine in this newsletter. Also, wonderful restoration projects have been updated and added at Amicale Facel Holland, Classic Job and at Imparts!
And 'last but not least' you will find a host of newly added accessories and vintage original classic car radios in our Classentials web-shop!
 
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers.
