Would a regular driver of a modern car be surprised if they sat behind a wheel of a vintage model? What is the most surprising thing? Most definitely. Classic and vintage cars are not just beautiful, they also exemplify the technology of the time when they were produced. Operating them requires skills that you don’t need to drive modern cars, because a lot of these processes have been automated. And that’s a tremendous challenge. Firing up the engine with a manual choke, no power steering, crude suspension systems, unexpected malfunctions while driving… we don’t even think of all of that when driving a modern car. And that is what forged characters; learning to drive and dealing with extreme situations. Driving a classic is extremely satisfying; it takes us back to when our adventure with cars started. Anyone who wants to begin or continue their journey into classic cars is welcome to attend our pre-auction exhibit, where we will show many interesting vehicles, as well as to the auction where extraordinary classic and vintage cars will be sold.
