A selection of historic cars from various English speaking parts of the world. We like to drive these vehicles and of course they need regular repairs too.

Singer 15 NL-K "Nostalgia" series Sewing machine
This is another interesting find. I didn't find it myself but received it as a kind donation to the ever expanding Sewing machine display. The machine design is very much like a Singer 15 should be, but it looks brand new and extremely shiny. There are differences that might point to the possibility of this one […]
"Wilhelmina" sewing machine
I found this "Wilhelmina" branded sewing machine. I had seen one or two offered for sale, but never realised there were at least three versions. This one seemed the oldest version with a picture of the Dutch queen Wilhelmina who reigned from 1898 to 1948. This shows a young Wilhelmina, so it could be this […]
Moody sky paddle
Looks like summer is finally over. Look at the sky today!
Market Garden 75th anniversary: convoys and army camps
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of operation Market Garden, several groups of collectors of military vehicles and reenactors staged convoys and camps along the famous route from the south of the Netherlands to Nijmegen. We visited the final camp of the (mostly British and Belgian)"Liberation Task Force" in Slijk Ewijk and the next day we […]
Morris Minor Hubcap tool
Originally a suitable tool to remove the hubcaps on a Morris Minor came with your car and if lost you can buy a small tool for this for very little money. Still, these tools seem to get lost easily and people try to remove their hubcaps with a screwdriver. This invariably damages the paint and makes the […]
Morris Minor tapered front hub bearings.
Even though the Minor has been very reliable and enjoyable during the past events, there still is this annoying vibration under braking. As the hubs seem to show a definite wobble I decided a set of better hubs with new bearing would be a good idea. I got these tapered bearings and a set of modified […]
Morris Minor Betuwe rit Leerdam
Our Minor joined a cheerful group of fans of the iconic Morris Minor car enjoying a rally in the glorious sunshine in the historic town of Leerdam. The leader of the pack was this beautiful 1939 Morris Eight.
Puddle paddle
Suddenly, after some heavy showers, the sun came out. Beautiful skies, lots of birds getting ready to fly south. Sandy beaches and no one there.
Relishing Really Rusty Relics at Wonderful Wolseley Weekend run
We decided to take the scenic route and stay at this interesting small hotel in the town of Exloo. In Exloo there was definite theme of garden gnomes.There was even a theme park with a giant gnome at the entrance.And this was the view from our hotel room. The club event brought quite a few different cars […]
Another Gritzner TS Sewing machine (1899)
Here comes our second Gritzner TS high arm machine. This one was given to me by a relative, so it's rather special. Also this machine comes with the case. Often the case is lost. The machine has not been used for a long time, so it is dusty and stiff to turn. Also the decorations […]
