Cars of Coolhaven

On a semi-sunny day I spot this funny looking car. This little devil looks like an old racer of times long gone, Morgan comes to mind. A top spot to find just parked next to a busy road in Dordrecht? No, alas. I have been spotting cars for a while now, and have learned that […]

Burton Car Company is the coolest and biggest sports car manufacturer in The Netherlands. Or, at least, that is what they proclaim on their website.

On my way to a meeting, I spot this old Citroën Ami at the traffic lights. Now that suddenly brings back memories! You used to see these cars in enormous amounts when I was a young boy. What a harsh life it was, having to spend your summer holidays at the Cote d’Azur… But why […]
