CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 168, 14 JULY 2021

 
 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
After a fresh and wet spring in our region, we have been able to fully enjoy many delightful summer weeks with our classic cars in June and July. There have even been vintage car tours again. Now we have to wait for the historic rally events that will start again in the autumn if all goes well.
 
In the past period, many classic- and sports cars have been tested and photographed. Today I present sixteen new arrivals coming from most decades in the 20th century. Above you see two beautiful and special 1981 Lancias powered by boxer engines from the Montagna d'Oro collection; a Lancia Gamma Berlina and a Gamma Coupé in beautiful and very original condition. Today I also surprise you with a wide pre-war range of which the Bentley 6½ Liter 4-seater tourer from 1926 is the exclusive showpiece. Attention is also paid to a great 1934 Alvis Silver Eagle Special, which was recently completed after restoration/new construction at Altena Classic Service. Rarely have I driven such a beautifully and perfectly built 'special': A true masterpiece!
 
I wish you a happy holiday season and..."Enjoy the ride!"
 
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers.
