After looking at the well-known dealers attending PreWar Days this coming weekend, it turns out there is much more to discover. There will also be various parts vendors, book sellers, clubs and private exhibitors.
Today we highlight the latter two categories: first a selection of the private cars on offer, followed by several classic car clubs that will be present.

1940 BMW 327

This BMW is a familiar face to us; it has appeared at one of our shows before. Since then it has been thoroughly checked by its owner, and now we can admire it again at PreWar Days. It is a beautiful restoration, exactly how we like it: not overdone for a museum, but built to be driven. A fun fact for Dutch enthusiasts: this car was originally imported by Nibbrig & Greeve in 1940.

1905 Chenard Walcker Model G by Labourdette

As you walk through the show, you will undoubtedly notice this car — if not for its dual rear wheels, then certainly for its overall condition. This Double Phaeton with Labourdette bodywork features impressive headlamps and a 5-litre engine. We are truly delighted to have it on the PreWarCar.com stand.

1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Westchester Sedan

The Cord needs little introduction. The iconic “Coffin Nose,” as this model is affectionately known, is an exceptional vehicle: front-wheel drive, pure luxury, and a 4.7-litre V8. The 812 version is equipped with a supercharger, producing an impressive 170 hp. Something truly worth looking forward to.

1939 Riley 12hp Special

Discussions about keeping a Riley Saloon in its original form can be spirited — taste remains subjective. But the fact that this Riley 12hp Special, offered at PreWar Days, is beautifully built is beyond debate. Created entirely according to the owner’s vision, it features well-proportioned coachwork and appears to be in remarkably tidy condition.

1935 Singer Nine Le Mans

Small English sports cars have always enjoyed popularity, and the Singer Nine Le Mans — together with the Austin Seven — was among the most beloved. The model was developed following Singer’s impressive performance at the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the modest 9 hp racer achieved an excellent result in its class. This year, two examples will be on display at PreWar Days: one in BRM with fully documented history including its original logbook, and a second example presented in the stunning original colour Signal Red.

1935 Standard P203

A rather different sight among the cars at the show: this compact delivery van will be on the PreWarCar.com stand. It was designed by none other than Josef Ganz — yes, one of the pioneers of the Volkswagen concept — and has been mechanically overhauled. Its exterior remains rusty and full of character. It may also be the most affordable vehicle at the entire show, priced at under 5,000 euros.

1934 Talbot AV105 Three Position Drophead Coupé

A true driver’s car — that’s how the owner describes it without hesitation. A beauty to behold and technically in excellent condition. This Talbot comes from a collector who owns several 105 models and has been restored in the past by renowned names within the Talbot world. The result is a well-maintained and highly impressive automobile.

Clubs:

Amilcar Genootschap (Association)

A group of friends with a passion for small, fast and charming French cars from the 1920s and 1930s — that is the Amilcar Genootschap in a nutshell. Fun, laughter and a good drink are part of the experience. This year, they are organising the International Cyclecar Rally. Their stand will feature three remarkable Salmsons from the 1920s.

Bugatti Club Belgium

The Bugatti Club Belgium is, of course, not to be missed. Last year they organised the International Bugatti Meeting, and they will undoubtedly be happy to tell you all about it.

Club Teuf Teuf

Veteran car enthusiasts will certainly know this French club. The PreWarCar.com team has often taken part in their events and reported on them. This year Club Teuf Teuf celebrates its 90th anniversary — a milestone for this warm, active association. Definitely worth a visit during PreWar Days.

Royal Veteran Car Club of Belgium

The RVCCB is Belgium’s pre-war club, aimed at enthusiasts of automobiles from the pre-1940 era. They organise around twelve tours each year, covering various automotive periods. Atmosphere is key — and they bring that spirit to PreWar Days as well. They often bring several special cars, and this year will be no exception. You are warmly invited to visit their stand.
