In 1965 Opel presented the Kadett B at the IAA in Frankfurt. The car became a success and was built in many versions until 1973. We found such a Kadett at Carrosso in Oldemarkt. A Type 92 coupé in the L version from 1971, painted in Pampasgrün and equipped with the 1100 N engine. The […] More

In 2005 the last MG models were sold under British auspices. One of those models was the ZT. That is a classic in the making. And a very good car. Auto Motor Klassiek drove a MG ZT 190 from the last year of production and was deeply impressed by a car that is much more than […] More
In August 1977, Ford presented the new asset for the business market. More specifically, the public was introduced to the Ford Granada, which was given a new suit under the direction of Uwe Bahnsen. Under the skin, the changes compared to the first Granada generation were significantly less radical. The chassis remained virtually the same, the British […] More

A funny thing, such a Toyota Corolla Coupé GT Twin Cam 16. But if you tell that the value shoots towards the thirty mille, people are nailed to the ground. After rather mediocre interest, this rear-wheel drive sleeper has been totally hyped for the past ten years. What does the AE86 derive from that sudden hero status? More
A few years ago, Erwin Roosink bought an almost written-off matt black Opel Rekord 1700 from 1971. And what do you do when you are a big fan of the television series Dukes of Hazzard? Right. Then you give that Opel the looks of the orange Dodge Charger from 1969. More
Volvo 340. The car that was actually a DAF. A car that was launched included teething problems that you would expect with British or Italian cars.
