Oldest possibility is "Fiat" (as brand). |

That place shown here used to be the best bit about Freiburg: The motorway access northbound towards Karlsruhe. |

Legendary?? It was the shittiest Autobahn in Western Germany!  Made -roughly made- from concrete slabs with wide gaps. At any speed, 80 km/h or 160 km/h, the hits of the gaps, were always worst. Not any passenger could sleep or doze, the "badumpa-badumpa-badumpa" war so annoying. And it was bad for the cars, too! This "badumpa" was in such a frequency, that screws were rattled loose. When I drove that Autobahn with my NSU 1200 (back in 1997), I was for two times(!) very lucky, that it didn't start to burn!  This "badumpa"-frequency has caused, that the fuel-hose slipped off! At the Solex 34 PCI-carburator of the NSU it's just stuck on a brass-sleeve. When the engine go off, I had to stop immediately, opening the engine-lid - and have to blow strongly. It already started to smolder. Bad at the NSU: the engine is fixed tilted, the carburator sits directly above the exhaust. Fortunately this single carburator was a replacement of the two NSU TT-carburators, which were mounted by the previous owner. In this case, the engine would continue to run with one of them - and the fuel for the second would be pumped over the manifold... |

No, he was chicken. As his English isn't that good, I would have escorted him to Britain, but he recoiled. He recoiled also to buy a an original British police-Mini Metro, which was offered recently at eBay UK. Well, it's his thing. He could have used it for his new part-time job ( http://www.kdk-filmservice.de/ ) |

I see , at least he was spared a death trap like the Regal .gif ":)") )))if you/he want to buy old cars as investment he should have bought perhaps a Mercedes 190 2.5 Evolution 2 , only 500 build and prices started to go sky high for those things this days but were quite cheap the last 5-10 years -- Last edit: 2013-05-16 20:14:13 |

mmmhh, buying classic cars for investment is a kind of trap, too. Generally you fail with that. He owns a 1970 Opel Kadett B since 1989 - its value is not really increasing. Same with my K 70. Or if you have a RO 80, it's the same. Generally the values go upwards - but never that much, that you will get the money back, you have paid all the years for maintenance, garage storage and other running costs. |

Ingo if you and your brother in law are good with classic cars, you know some people became really rich with the spare parts business get some of this old clunkers (if you're lucky some exotics too from accdinet/ burned out etc) and dismantle them for parts , in some cases this cars are worth up to 5 times more as parts than as a whole car all you would need is a decent size yard to store them and 1-2 guys to help you dismantle them and 1 guy who searches the net for clunkers and adverts the parts and answers calls -- Last edit: 2013-05-16 20:22:14 |

For that business we are 25,30 years too late. Of course I know all of these dealers in the classic VW-scene and many others, too, since over 20 years. Yes, they really have made money and still make good money. The normal, established classic-car business is extremely crisis-proof. Nothing could impair that until now. And I'm not that kind of quilldriver or money-maker, especially not about my hobby. |

I was refering to some other cars perhaps Ingo , cars that are cheap to get but have expensive parts like BMW 8 series , Porsche 928, 930 , you know better  -- Last edit: 2013-05-16 20:30:51 |

Well, if you dismantle cars, you have the always same parts left over in good condition, and the always same parts are broken. I've excercised that intensively in the 90ies with my 20 wrecked K 70 (plus dozens of others of my friends) .gif ";)") Plus the fact, that your three examples are absolute high-tech-cars, which you cannot handle by yourself as a hobbyist.A neighbour has a 850i, a 750i and a ugly pimped 944 (some 80ies kit, I think) - all are scrappy clunkers, he and his sons aren't experts for those cars. Fortunately the 750 (often broken) is not parking in front of my house right now - it's leaking oil terribly. |
