Yesterday we enjoyed a very traditional classic Volkswagen show in Holland… it was cool as always and weather was marvelous, till it overcast and start raining late afternoon… that was the bell to go home…:)
Splits, in all colors and versions… If You like splits, this was heaven!!
Cool cat of the show and yours truly favourite was this maintained but unrestored March 1949 split… 1 family owner! This baby drew attention all day long!
2 Kubelwagens attented as well…
Who told You an Enzmann is an extremely rare car??? They had 3 on display!
And a cool Tempo Matador too
More coachbuilds…
Cool and rare Beutler… Made in Suisse….
BBT’s Denzel came out (that was long ago) and two crazy cool Dannenhauer & Stauss…
Or, if you preferred, Frankie brought a real rare Devin!
And to close the line of the coachbuild beauties we spotted these trio of Denzel ‘Beeskow “banana’s”…
Next row was Hebmullers… no less than 4 on display….
And the BBT 52 convertible was the only Pre53 Karmann Convertible…
Belgian Godfather of VW collector Jacques Mertens celebrated his 70th Birthday at the show…. and the organisers recognised it fully making this life time big wall frame for Jacques…
After 53 years into Volkswagen Jacques is still an avid enthusiast with 2 1948 splits and a super rare Porsche 356 Gmund SL!
Happy birthday Jacques, and thanks for the time to take a picture with us before your wall frame!!
also the oval and square window row was almost endless… so many cars!
What a show, we attend every year, and it only get’s better… not for party or beer, just to enjoy, lay back and talk splits… it’s not BIG, it’s not Small, it’s the size it has to be to be a good one… we love it and next year is already bookmarked in our agenda’s…
