Many oldies become affordable with a historical or a special registration! Since father state especially with the old automobiles the tax does not adapt to the then state of the art, so the proud owners of such vehicles strongly ask to cash in. (OK, the environment !!) Especially with large-volume engines it can come to taxes far beyond the €1000 limit. After all, the laws have been somewhat relaxed, that it is also possible in Germany to have such a For example, with the historical or the 07 registration. For some vehicles it is also possible to allow them as a combination or office vehicle. How did you register your oldie? How much does that cost and what did you need for the registration? Best regards, Flieger1234 & Co.

Hello. I just saw a record hearse (Bj64) on mobile .de to restore. I want to buy this car because it is 1. an old record and 2. a hearse. Since there is a 60hp engine in it and I want to drive the car in the summer in everyday life, I would like to install another or larger engine so that I also come from the place. Which engines fit there without which I go to big Frevel because I want to install an engine that was never in a record as standard. o which engines were available in Record A

Hello, what good is my ADAC membership if I am travelling with an old car ? Will I be towed to the next workshop if I remain on the track ? So just one suitable for the vehicle, not to any ? What about short-term registration marks, red 07 number, or H registration marks ? Does the ADAC pull all off, or do the differences with short-term registration marks and “rustlauben” ? The membership is indeed person-related and not vehicle-specific Would yes comfortable and saves the towing rope in the trunk 🙂

Meal, my parents had bought a car about 30 years ago and then used it only as a Sunday car, the last 15 years it was mainly in the garage. Today it is a vintage car, which stands like new. Well long speech short meaning, my father has now parked last year at 83 years finally. Now the car stands with my mother (80) in the garage and was brought to life by me. First the Crimean Crams of the last decades cleared out, with a brush My mother will never drive the car again. Otherwise there is my sister, who would like to make him money today as tomorrow. I want him to be so right. So, long speech short meaning, the car is now mine, but still stands with Grandma in the garage and is also completely insured/allowed about her. I take over the costs but she is on the papers. Now we want to make an official contract and she says I will not be able to do it again. I don’t think that would do anything but cost. Is there any advantage if the car is registered on me? As long as I have a contract, it is officially my property, so why should the registration change?

Hello dear oldtimer friends! First of all I hope that the topic is not a ricochet and is in the right category or does not violate any rules. Since this is now out of the world, I have a question for you: Is there any useful oldtimer in the price class 700€ and below? I’m not talking about a condition 1 with top design now. I’m talking for example about a 1981 Volvo 244 GL with 2.1l engine, condition 2-3. Just a reasonable entry-level oldtimer, on which I The Volvo 480 will soon become a classic car, so it would also be possible to screw itself (so where you can find enough instructions and support), where the spare parts location is correct and which doesn’t have to be in the workshop every 2000 km. A car, which I can wait, cherish and maintain in my spare time. In my own research I have already come across the Volvo 244 as mentioned (of course I would prefer the 242, but the much rarer and on top of that seem to be much more expensive). a choice. However, I don’t know all the models of every manufacturer, I’m not aware of every risk of a vintage car and I’m a complete beginner. Therefore, I’d like to ask you for advice on which models you think are possible or would recommend to me! I’d like to use 700€ as the upper limit of price, models of German manufacturers (Audi, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Trabant and Wartburg) would like to avoid, unless we’re talking about NSU, Opel Record etc.. Japanese, Italian, French, Swedish, so short. I like to see everything that is not German, Russian or American. So recommend your models and thank you in advance!

Servus together, has been in possession of a Fiat 124 Spider for 30 years. 2.0 L with Weber IDF 44 carburetors. Unfortunately, the Fiat smells so much of exhaust gases for some time, that driving doesn’t make any more pleasure. Even if I park it in the garage, it stinks completely of exhaust gases the next day. I had the impression that it didn’t smell very much after the winter break at the first exit.The exhaust system is fine. Have all the openings engine/case – inside tried to protect It may be that the carburettors are wrongly set to fat. Many thanks in advance greetings from Bayern Marcus

Hello, my junior wants a vintage car, and I think to myself, why not? (but he doesn’t have a driver’s license yet), so I would drive. I wouldn’t define classic cars so narrowly now, but rather “car from the 90s”. Which car is suitable as a classic car beginner? Junior meant Golf 2, but they are also quite expensive? So if we were to deal with the topic of vintage cars, I would tend to tend to the larger car. That’s why my general question here is: Welc Hes car from the 90s is the best way to offer a good and affordable basis, especially in order to run in 10 years (replacement parts should be available, so nothing too exotic). A certain everyday suitability would be desirable, so no absolute diva. Few rusty models would be important to me. My first ideas: Audi 100 C4 Audi A8 D2 Mercedes W124 (like Coupé) Audi Cabrio Golf 1 Cabrio Volvo C70 Other ideas? I would spend a low 4-star for the adventure “Oldtimer” If anyone has a specific proposal in the area of Northern Bavaria, please do not hesitate! Thank you for your help!

Dear old-timer owners, in a similar article, started in this forum in 2021, under the heading “The future of old-timers” was already discussed diligently. At DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V., Institut für Verkehrsforschung) I research exactly this topic. The question is: What future do you see for regenerative fuels in traffic and with old-timers? The aim is to introduce and use regenerative fuels in traffic as holistically as possible. In addition, a comparison with other technologies should take place. Climate protection and the reduction of the use of fossil fuels are of the highest social and political relevance. With your participation you help to understand the acceptance of regenerative fuels and the requirements of potential users and these fuels. For this purpose, I conduct expert interviews, i.e. I would like to ask you questions, in particular about Ih rem understanding of regenerative fuels, how to evaluate them, for example, in comparison to electromobility, and what factors would be relevant to you in order to use a regenerative fuel. I am also pleased if you bring in further aspects from your experience with your vintage car. The conversation will take about an hour and take place online. If you are interested, please write me here by private message or to my e-mail address ([email protected]). I would like to receive feedback, also on questions about the contribution! Thanks again to the management of the forum, that the contribution is possible here. This survey is carried out in consultation with MOTOR-TALK

Hello, I am 55 years old and beginner screwdriver, just looking for a suitable car. Grateful for tips, allergic to senior teachers. The unheard of rental prices in the Munich room and the absence of an own screw location brought me to the idea of establishing a hall community. An offer is e.g. the following hall in the east of Munich, which could be shared with 5 people: 200 sqm, rent 1000 euros warm, deposit 3 monthly rents. Water, electricity, toilet and additional We could set up an association. Everyone pays 1000 euros into an account, of which 600 for the deposit and 400 as security for the colleagues against sudden “disappearing”. Then we look for a hall and rent you. If we find none within 6 months, the money goes back and it is over. Everything is completely democratic and legally secure. From there each pays 200 euros a month and has a warm spot for his screw object, which he stands there also longer term. I’m looking forward to a lively discussion on the subject. The project requires a certain ability to bond. In concrete terms, I’m curious to see if people who want to join in and are really ready to jump the 1000 first time. I’m looking forward to seeing if there’s a lot of people who want to get involved.

Hello together, on the car of my father , G model built 1981, 3.0 l boxer with 204 Ps has to be made a gearbox oil change. The 5 gear transmission is difficult to switch and I guess that was made on the car very long or never before an oil change on the gearbox. Since I have never changed on such a car the gearbox oil now ask me the question if you can do a lot of wrong and what man has to pay attention to. In addition, the engine in the Warm running phase in the stood very high turns about 1800-1900 revolutions, which in my opinion is too high, the problem has only occurred at the beginning of the season. Last year everything on the engine was eliminated where he pulled auxiliary air and thus hardly had its own idle. The ignition cables distributor cap and ignition fingers were renewed, after I did all the work on the engine was adjusted the engine in a free Porsche Classic workshop. he had his own idling which he had to have and was also right with cold engine in the stand. After the car was brought back from his hibernation the problem with the too high idling in the stand with cold engine occurred. Had someone of you ever had such a problem or can tell me what that could be, because last year in the summer after the engine was set fresh the engine ran when it was cold Problemless Sincerely Maurice
