In 2008 the classic Tulip Rally returned to Annecy, France, to commemorate the fact that 60 years ago the famous Dutch rally driver Maus (Maurice) Gatsonides (later known for the speed cameras that bear his name) and French rally ace Marc Angelvin came up with the idea of the Tulip Rallye whilst sitting on the shore of the beautiful Lac d'Annecy. All the contestants were parked at the huge and imposing Impérial Palace Hotel.

Shown here are shots taken on 4 May, the evening before the start.

Concours d'Elégance Paleis het Loo

The Concours d'élégance Paleis het Loo was last held on 30 and 31 August 2008. The next event will be in 2010.

The show was host to a fantastic collection of pre-war racing cars and a retrospective of cars designed by Giugairo.  Autovisie organised the Dutch National Concours at the same event. The 2008 theme was cars of the sixties.

The 343 was designed by DAF before the take-over by Volvo, although DAF never manufactured it themselves.

When Volvo took over DAF (the passenger car division), the DAF 66 got the Volvo safety treatment (visually that means enormous black bumpers). The model remained in production until 1980

Super Oldtimer Festival in Leiden (NL)

The Super Oldtimer Festival in Leiden. Usually the car park outside is just as interesting to car buffs as the event itself. More Ferrari pictures here.

Opel Museum Tijnje

The Opel Museum in Tijnje in Friesland in the north of The Netherlands is home to a wide variety of Opel cars. Most are 1950s and 1960s models but there are some older cars such as a 1936 Super Six and a 1935 Opel Olympia.

Museum de Rijke, Oostvoorne, the Netherlands

Most of the exhibits are from the USA. Amongst the numerous Chevrolets, Dodges and Fords there are some less common makes such as De Soto, Marmon and Pierce Arrow. I even spotted an Olds Curved Dash in a corner. The cars are aranged by era; there is a special section devoted to Ford that contains numerous Model Ts and Model As.
