What should you pay attention to if the seller thinks during the vintage car/youngtimer purchase that all damage to the stand had been eliminated in the workshop. What suffers with long standing? In my case, the car was mothed in a garage for several years.

But now this forum has to be infected with the top topic No. 1 of the Oldie and US-Car friends. A new Job’s message of the wool for years most incompetent government makes talk of itself in the new edition of the Oldtimer market. The 07s number is most likely to be abolished. Hurrah my high-space youngtimers thus become unfor saleable, undriving (legally is clear) special waste. Do we want to let ourselves like this so easily? re Oldtimerclub representative organisations who have already made some questionable actions of themselves take the matter into their own hands? Now it is time to tackle and defend themselves, the best not only those who have a red number but all those who have something to do with old carts. Maybe one next finds out that the taxes for the H-mark are too low or cars that are older than 10 years are supposed to be to the TÜV every three months or only in daylight Now it’s just about more than just the red number, but to show up there in the realm of ignorance that we’re not mentally inferior Messis.

Hi, I am interested in a Mercedes of the series W123. I prefer a 4-cylinder (200 or 230E) petrol engine with automatic transmission. Since I want to use the car as a regular car, I am looking for a model that is as well preserved as possible. I would therefore be very happy about reports with experiences and tips and links to this model (no coupe). I would also be interested in whether the engine was fundamentally changed during the course of the model maintenance and whether it was suitable for these models. odelle already gave a CAT. Thank you

Greetings to the old-timer experts, when searching through my photo archive, I hit on some vehicles that I can’t match up with so far. Maybe someone knows the manufacturer and type of the following old-timers: 1. Apparently a historic racing car, seen at the Essen Motor Show 2011 2. A roadster with an air-kilted rear engine, probably a VW or Porsche Derivative 1 2 3 4 3. Could also be something based on Porsche: May Beetle Meeting 2013 4. There I am really full ig unsuspecting. Looks like an own construction for me: DIY 1 DIY 2 Thanks a lot in advance for all the information regarding these vehicles.

The title says everything. I know that these old engines cannot be operated with sythetic oils. Unfortunately, this oil is the only 15 W-40 that my dealer has in stock. Can I use it without hesitation when changing oil?http://www.motoroel100.de/…/Castrol-GTX-15W-40-1X5L.jpg Thanks for all the advice

Hello Oldtimer, Oldie, youngtimer fans, don’t you want to introduce your cars here? So with picture and performance data and what else you think is important. Maybe a nice collection will be drizzling!? If you would like something, what you like, also with it! Greetings Jo

Oldtimer Rally Hi, guys! With us in the area every two years the Berta-Benz Rally takes place! Who that was, I probably don’t have to tell a car fan! No woman, logical! But now seriously: My question is whether one of you was already there at such a rally as a driver and what you think of it at all? For me as a pure fan it is always an experience to see such cars from close up! But as a vintage car owner some people may disagree! T me smarter and wiser! Greetings andy

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the 1900’s CIH from the B Ascona fits into the GT ? Should normally be the same as in the GT or ?? How do I recognize whether it is a lead-free head ? The engine is in a good condition with little KM and I would like to build it because it is equipped with a sharper cam and Solex Dooppel carburetors . These are exactly the same components which (allegedly) were used earlier in the races. thank you Sven

Hello, Since I could not find an existing blog about Autotune Kit-Cars, I present my thoughts here: I have been playing for some time with the idea of purchasing a replica of Autotune. The vehicle was first registered in 1971, where Autotune (A manufacturer of various Kit-Cars) only started to build the type of body that also carries my object of desire. The vehicle is located in the Netherlands, where apparently the chassis is there. Question 1) Could this circumstance (the date of the EZ in relation to chassis/car body) possibly cause problems with a registration in Germany? Question 2) Is it even possible to allow a replica on an H-mark? Question 2a) If so, what is required for a registration of a kit-car in Germany on an H-mark? Question 3) What do I have to pay attention to when buying, apart from the technical condition? Special features of the purchase of kit cars and replicas? Thank you already in advance, you can also tell me about your own experiences, I look forward to your answers. PS: Due to the fact that my topic caption is partly cut off, I repeat here again the headline and actual core theme: “What should be observed when buying (and obtaining an H-mark if necessary) an oldtimer replica of Autotune?

Hello everyone, I am 07 owner, with which a BMW M6 and a 49 triumph is moved. Shortly before the end of the 20 year regulation I bought a Sierra from Jux in ebay. In fact Ford is not so my thing, but it had something: Built 83, only 70000km and a condition like an annual car, so absolutely stainless and accident-free. The varnish shines like on the first day, even the underfloor is like new and the interior looks like fresh from the factory. The previous owner managed to get the car like this. Besides, he has the rare 2 liter V6 with 90hp under the hood, which was built only 1 1/2 years. What happened? My friends laughed crooked! A Sierra, hahaha… Well, as long as I had my pleasure. However, at a meeting I would not drive with it. There is probably no one who does not find a Sierra…
