First of all: Of course, this gallery is only a selection – and does not depict every mobile beauty that deserves to be shown. There are too many for that. Theoretically you should also find pictures of a Fiat Panda, a Duck (2CV), numerous Alfa Romeos and Peugeots here – maybe next time.
This time it’s vehicles like the VW Beetle, the obvious stars from Mercedes-Benz and timeless classics from Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Because without a 911, Dino or Countach, such a photo series cannot do.
beauty before age
This time, however, it is not about a specific value – there are vehicles in the overview that you can still afford today, as well as cars that will probably always remain a dream for 99 percent of interested people. For example a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing or the drivable legend from Jaguar, the E-Type.
However, exotics also have a lot to offer. For example the Volvo P1800, a Maserati 3500 GT Spyder or the Lotus Esprit Turbo – all vehicles that look so good that they don’t mind their old age.
Speaking of old age: While at some point no new cars with combustion engines will be registered, you will probably see many of the classics shown on German roads for quite a while (at least from time to time).
Because anyone who first owns a classic car with a corresponding license plate enjoys grandfathering rights in this country. This protects the vehicles from new regulations that have already been the undoing of other cars in the past – for example environmental zones. So as long as the cars are kept in good shape, nothing stands in the way of the next anniversary.
