artdjones Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Classic Remise Dusseldorf is a classic car centre.It's housed in a former locomotive roundhouse in the suburbs of Dusseldorf.It's not a museum but is a place where you can buy classics from a number of dealers.There are showrooms for new Morgans,Donkervoorts(a sort of copy of the Lotus 7 with added developments),and some other retro makes.Another lot of tenants are restorers,coach trimmers and workshops.They will also store your car in one of a 2 storey row of glass boxes..The centre of the roundhouse where the turntable used to be is the main dealer display area.There's also a good cafe next to it.Around the outside of one side of the display are the glass storage boxes.The next outer ring is a walkway big enough to drive a car around.The last outer ring is the showrooms,shops and workshops.On top of them is a gallery you can walk along with cars displayed along it.There is a similar establishment in Berlin in an old tram shed.The best thing about the place is that you can wander inThere are only a few cars there that are a natural fit for this site but I hope you like some pics of the stuff I saw on a visit this week.Actually,the first 10 or so are from a visit last year.Amazingly,even though most cars are at prices that make one shudder,almost the whole stock had changed in one year.

artdjones Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 There were three of the Paul Bracq syled S Class convertibles there last year.This is the most expensive one ,a 280SE 3.5 V8.I saw a lovely 280 straight six in the street last week but forgot to take a picture. 59Impala and Magnificent Rustbucket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Rustbucket Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ala Montreal in 1970s Colour. These are beautiful cars with a wonderful howling V8. One of my late dad's business partners had one in the late '70s. Unfortunately it suffered some kind of engine catastrophe in the office car park, leaving a great smudge of oily mayonnaise where it had sat. It was never seen again - he replaced it with a 911.

Junkman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've always wanted to go there. Thanks for the photos There is another, Classics Remise in Berlin, this time housed at a Tram Depot buildinghttp://remise.de/Classic-Remise-Berlin-english-summary.php There are altogether three of them, the third is near Stuttgart (Motorworld).They all used to belong to Meilenwerk AG, which ceased operations in 2014. Meilenwerk was a project of the European Business School in Wiesbaden.The target was to find profitable ways of utilising listed buildings that initiallywere transport related, since purely functional structures usually don't serveany purpose after their original use has expired. The Meilenwerk AG ultimately filed for bankrupcy after trying to establishseveral more branches, including one in England.Since it was dissolved, the three existing facilities operate independently. alcyonecorporation, flat4alfa and BorniteIdentity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdjones Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 It looks very expensive, hand wallet to wife before entering. Most of the cars in there would require a suitcase full of money rather than a wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdjones Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 This is nice.There was also another black one in the main display area ,a quattrovalvole with the wing on struts and gold wheels.These are nicest looking without embellishments or attachments.

artdjones Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Another Montreal stored away.These used to be quite unloved and even though not cheap still cost much less than their equivalents from other makers. flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdjones Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I suppose this would be a bit more attainable for most of us.Sixties and seventies Peugeots give off a real air of quality and although some might find this 304 boring I lingered by it longer than most of the exotica.Possibly because I had a friend with a 304gl estate in this colour. mk2_craig and flat4alfa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdjones Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 A Ferrari Daytona -a snip at €775000.Rather a peculiar colour as well.(In my opinion - others may love it)Also a 365 GTC/4 -a longer wheelbase Daytona with two small back seats and a detuned engine. garycox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdjones Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Something that makes the Daytona look rather common - a Maserati 5000GT with Allemano body. flat4alfa and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
