    I ran across a picture of a 3-seat Pininfarina built 1954 Caddy upside down in a ditch and some say ex-King Leopold put it there but that he and his wife,the second wife,weren't hurt.But there were two such cars so I am wondering if this is the same one restored and shown in recent years in Pebble Beach concours? I gather the King was quite the enthusiast with several Ferraris custom built either for his daughter or wife.

    Don't think so. King Leopold 3 of Belgium probably?

    As you are interested in fast cars you should also know Boudewijn 1 and Albert 2. Both of them where car(speed)freaks. The story goes that a freeway was closed down because they where racing eathother. I even think one of the cars was a F.

    Jaloers! :D:D:D

    Dat heb je goed (laten?) regelen. Ik neem aan dat je niet zelf met een slaapzak op de stoep van het gemeentehuis/rwd heb gelegen...

    Moeten ze in NL ook eens invoeren, is het begrotingstekort in een keer opgelost.


    Neem aan dat 599 al vergeven was?

    +1! Gefeliciteerd!

    Maar natuurlijk ben ik ook heel blij met 2-XKR-08, wie zegt dat we in NL geen mooie kentekens maken? #fail

    Zo is er ook een Nederlandse Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake met kenteken 7-XFR-39.
    Maar wat hierboven op de 16M en F40 staat is nog wel een stuk mooier, vind ik.

    512 TR is een goede keuze. Hoorde van een verzamelaar/investeerder in Zwitserland die er 3 stuks gekocht heeft. Die zet ze 5 jaar in de kelder..
