Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Sander]

First of all a little introduction.

My name is Sander and I am a Dutch MFA student studying in Edinburgh. I grew up with a fother who has always been busy with classic british cars (mainly MG-B/GT and Triumph's). Becausse of this I have always been interested in classic cars.

At this moment I am doing research for a project about this subject and mainly about what happened to the car industries throughout the world (In my oppinion they don't make cars like they used to anymore).
For this project I am looking for people who own old British classic cars (1950s-1970s prefered) and who would like to tell me something about what these cars mean to them and why they think they relate to them (why is it that british car's are the way they are compared to cars from other cars in the world). And maybe there is even someone here who actually used to work in one of the late car factories?

If you feel interested in telling me your story (which I will use for my research) or have any questions please feel free to send me a pm and we can get in touch that way.

If you want to look at what I have been making so far you can take a look at my website on www.sanderschoonbeek.com

Thank you,

Sander

Hi Sander,

I don't own a car in your 50s-70s timeframe although I have in the past owned a few and used them as everyday transport. I have never worked in the car industry. If it's of any use to you I have no objection to being interviewed. I live in Edinburgh.

Regards,

Peter
