Maintenance & restoration

Purchasing a (restored or unrestored) Classic Car is one thing, but making sure that the car can safely and satisfactorily participate in traffic is another. For that, the car will need to be regularly serviced.

In the Netherlands and other European countries, a yearly MOT/APK/TUV inspection is required, even for Classic Cars. The relevant Main Dealer is generally not the best place to do this: the specific knowledge and parts availability of the older models is not always readily available anymore. But most importantly, there tends to be a lack of interest and passion. We certainly do not lack this interest and passion, but we’re a bit short on the required technical know how and most importantly, time. We have therefore found the perfect partners in 2 renowned mechanics, who are both running a company that lives and breathes this know-how, interest and passion. Both grew up in an age of carburetors and non-catalytic converters, when car were still “real” cars, so to speak.

Restoration

Father and son Rinzema do not think twice about a part restoration or a complete body-off restoration, which is why their company “Autoherstel Mid Friesland” is so successful. They have the feeling and the passion that is required to warrant the quality and originality that Classic Cars require. They use the latest modern equipment, the best tools and material, and offer excellent value for money. We at Montagna d’Oro, in cooperation Autoherstel Mid Friesland, will give you a suitable quote to bring your Classic Car back in pristine condition. It will be in safe hands.

Life span

This is just another way of saying: “there is no escaping the “rust” bug, especially for Classic Cars”. That is why we are working together with one of the best companies around in this area: Gosliga & Zn, specialists in the prevention of and protection against rust. This Dinitrol Anti-Rust Center is located in Leeuwarden, just 15 minutes away from our premises. Because ultimately, we would like to see all Classic Cars retain the condition and character they once had.
