Dear classic car enthusiast,
At the moment, daily social life is literally standing still in many countries worldwide due to the new Covid-19 Corona virus. In the Netherlands, it has been decided to use an 'intelligent lock-down' whereby many companies, shops and institutions remain open under strict hygienic and social distancing rules given by the Dutch government. Where possible people are working from home. People working on locations and people visiting companies must keep a distance from at least 1.5 meters away from each other. The offices, showrooms and workshops of Altena Classic Service, Amicale Facel Holland, Classic Job and Imparts are open and active during the regular business hours.
Yours truly has not been idle in recent weeks and beautiful classic cars have been tested and photographed! In this newsletter you will find a beautiful Facel Vega FV4 restoration update at Amicale Facel Holland and again a fine selection of high-quality classics for sale at Imparts and Altena Classic Service. The presented 1928 Alvis 12/50 FWD is very rare and special... This Alvis model was the first production car with front-wheel drive!
Take care of each other and stay safe,
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers. N.B. Dear reader, you receive our newsletter because you have actively subscribed to it,

| BENTLEY R-TYPE SPORTS SPECIAL | |
 |
|
|
Bentley R-Type Sports Special, year 1954. Colour silver metallic with a pale green cast, pale green leather interior with matching carpet. This tremendous Bentley Sports Special was built by the Englishman Jim York. York spent about ten years converting the Bentley R-type (chassis B91WX) to this breath-taking Sports Special. The idea was to create a car that “Handled like a Bentley but rode like a Rolls Royce”. The result is a Bentley special with design elements of the sporty (Jaguar) SS 100 and the Grandeur of a Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster. This very special Bentley debuted at the Bentley Drivers Club's Hatfield House Meeting in 1993 where it took 1st-in-class during the Concours d ‘Elegance competition. Fourteen years later, in 2007 the car became 1st-in-class at the Bentley Drivers Club's Rousham House Gathering (having collected numerous BDC Concours awards in between times). From its completion in the early 1990’s this fine automobile has driven about 16.000 Miles. This Bentley R-Type Sports Special was serviced and maintained perfectly. This magnificent ‘one off’ automobile is in superb top condition and the car drives delightfully! More information on the website.
