The future is secured: a new young managing director at PreWarCar.com



PreWarCar.com and PostWarClassic.com are growing rapidly. Therefore some structural changes are necessary to keep the high level of service and the daily features that you are used to.

For the last 15 years, Joris Bergsma did a fantastic job with building up a medium that can be considered as the online middlepoint of the classic and vintage car movement. Throughout the years, we have been able to bring tens of thousands of enthusiasts in contact with each other, 'resolved' hundreds of mysteries, facilitated that countless cars found new homes and caretakers, and helped thousands of automobiles to move again - thanks to the thousands and thousands of rare parts that changed hands because of these pages.

And we are planning to keep doing that ... and more.

For this, the company has been looking for a new person to take over the wheel. And we have found one: a youngster with petrol in his blood, grease under his fingernails but also with a young fresh knowledge of digital media and experience in the car business. And we are convinced that we have found the perfect person to ensure a bright future for both PreWarCar.com as PostWarClassic.com.

Laurens Klein will be our new Managing Director, while Joris will focus on the blog.

In the beginning, you will hardly notice the changes within the company. In the near future, we hope to ease and improve the use of both platforms . Therefore, Laurens has attracted new capital primarily to launch a new, state of the art PreWarCar.com – PostWarClassic.com platform later this year.

Meanwhile have a look at the current team of PreWarCar.com and PostWarClassic.com

I look at Prewarcar every day and for someone who sells the odd item and writes the odd article on the website, it offers a great market to european enthusiasts. It is a hugely useful hub for us eccentric’s around the world to be able to escape the daily grind of life. It allows us to dip our toe into our hobby of old stuff and long may it continue. We are all being enticed up the slippery slope of modern day life, so for me, websites like Prewarcar offer a little light relief and keep us dreaming of the next event, the perfect drive, the dream project or part we have been searching for.


Here’s to the next chapter of Prewarcar.com and good luck with taking it further down the road.


Best Wishes, Tim Gunn
