Pre 1900 Barnfind Daimler

Author: SSMcDonald Saturday, 19 May 2012

Too bad about this pre 1900 Daimler not having an engine. That ruins the project no matter what the price. A thorough search for the missing engine should be conducted.

About the pre 1900 Daimler find.

John:
I am familiar with this car.  A good friend looked at it in Poland about a month ago.  it is missing engine and has some newer wood.  I believe Mercedes Classic is aware of the car as well.  The missing engine is a huge negative as the chance of finding the correct engine (or even a correct period engine) is virtually nil.  My friend placed it as a c. 1886 when he inspected it.  My opinion is that the ask is a pipe dream.  Good luck to the seller.

Garrie Hisco:
Such an amazing find It should be in a museum for all to enjoy!

John Leech:
Not a very good photo,but looks like a old buggy without the rails for the horse

Caution on buying cars from India

Author: Joris Bergsma Wednesday, 09 May 2012

Hi , I am Devendra Singh Dhariwal from India.


I have been a fortunate custodian of my family cars for last 22 years & have been expanding the collection since then.
This mail is to draw your kind attention towards some advertisements from India ,offering Vintage & Classic cars for sale.
For the benefit of Car collectors & Enthusiasts I want to state that no car can be exported from India if it is built prior to 1960. The Law of the land does not permit it.
Please make this clear with advertisements from India so that no collector/ enthusiast gets cheated as even after paying the money the car cannot go out of the country.

Regards
Dev

Monaco or Bust: A Road Trip to the Monaco Historic Grand Prix Raising funds for Breast Cancer Care and Prostate Cancer Charities


Dear All,

On the 6^th May, my friend Liz and I are going to be driving her husband David’s race prepared C type Jaguar, from the Royal Automobile Club to the Historic Grand Prix in Monaco, where it is entered to race over the weekend.

4 days later when we arrive on the 10^th May we are meeting the Chairman of the Historic Grand Prix in front of the Automobile Club de Monaco, where there will be a photo call and interview.

This trip is to raise charitable funds for Breast Cancer Care and the Prostate cancer charities, as very sadly we have many friends, of all ages that are currently suffering with these dreadful diseases. I am sure that you will all know of somebody who has been touched by the same.

Our 4 day trip is an awareness campaign to highlight the importance of getting checked.

Breast cancer is non gender bias. Yes guys, you can get it too!

Prostate & breast cancer are often curable if caught early enough.

So our strap line is:

“GET YOURSELF AN M.J.T!”

For those of you who know me, the actual driving isn’t the task, the weather on the other hand, in an open top, with 1,000 miles of tarmac ahead of us is!

So think of Liz and I, and please, donate generously.

These donations could make all the difference.

With enormous thanks in advance for all your support.

 

Kindest regards,

'Home delivery' of Alan Fearnley's paintings

Author: Joris Bergsma Friday, 24 February 2012

(Dear Editor)

I have just opened a parcel containing the most wonderful book of classic car paintings by Alan Fearnley.
Why am I telling you ? Because it was whilst viewing your website yesterday that I spotted the advert for this book.
And the Danish gentleman offering it for sale ( Henrik Schou-Nielson) has just delivered it to me in England en route from Stansted airport to his next port of call.
So you can enjoy your afternoon tea in the knowledge that thanks to prewarcar.com, items are sold, buyers meet sellers, friendships are made. My thanks again for helping oil the wheels in this great hobby of ours.

All good wishes,
Robin Batchelor
