A while ago I went to this classic car dealership, which had quite a big hangar full of cars from the old days, especially Jaguars, Daimlers and Rolls Royces. The primary reason why I visited this dealership was the fact a friend of mine spotted a XJ220 there. So a couple of days later I arrived with my camera.

But faith struck, and the XJ220 wasn’t there anymore. It had been driven to a meeting but on the way home, the driver spun the car in the rain and hit the barrier. XJ220 heavily wounded taken to the car hospital. So sadly I missed it. Luckily my friend was smart enough to take some pics of it the first time he saw it:

But now my pics. As you can see, crammed dealerships do exist in Belgium

Aston Martin V8 Vantage and DB7 Volante:

Jaguar & Daimler:

A rare Daimler. But I don't know its name. Anyone who does know it?

RR & Bentley:

Testarossa:

400i:

A 208 which was converted into a Spider:

De Tomaso Longchamp:

Maser Quattroporte:

Some Mercs SL's:

Porsche:

Two nice Vettes:

850i:

Lotus 7:

Caddy:

Triumph:

And a little preview of what I saw today. Too bad the pics turned out very grainy (I had to use a very high ISO setting due to the dark place the car was parked in and the fact my tripod was at home):

A shame about the XJ220, but maybe you'll see it another time.

I love that colour on the DB7

, and a Testarossa is always a delight to see.

Thanks for the great pics, and I look forward to the 40th Ann. Murci!!!!!

@ nurburn: you will have to wait quite long before they will be online. I still have a big load of pics to edit and upload first.

"Nice" lineup they have there :roll:

The AM V8 looks so brutal.....I love it!

By looking at some cars interior pics, I can't help to think that interiors
used to look better than they do now. Even the Vette looked cool inside in it's early days....

stmoritzer · 07-22-2005, 04:55 AM

Too bad about the Jaguar

Thanks Wutputt for the pictures
the AM are stunning, saw various of these older models recently (pics to be uploaded asap)
SL's and Testarossa pics were saved.
