A life with classic cars vol.2

Continued from the last number; A life with classic cars vol.1.

The true value of a Classic car lies not only in its beauty or rarity, but in the long relationship it has shared with its owners over time.
That is why it is so important to carefully examine each car’s condition and history, and to pass that story on with accuracy and respect to its next custodian.

“This Targa I’ve driven for long years is still a wonderful machine,” said Mr. Heinrich, “but now that I’m 74, I’ve started finding the clutch and gear changes a bit too much.”

He is now planning to move on from his 1970 911 Targa to a 1992 911 Cabriolet (964), finished in the same color.

“The Tiptronic gearbox makes driving so much easier,” he explains. “And cars from this era of Porsche still retain a certain old-world charm. Plus, my wife appreciates that her long hair doesn’t get tousled by the wind.”

To continue driving the same model lineage while adapting the car to suit one's evolving needs — and even to match colours across generations — reveals not only a refined sensibility but a heartfelt loyalty. More than anything, I felt deep admiration for his graceful, unpretentious approach to ageing — and the enduring passion that continues to guide him.

When we shook hands, his smile spoke not of sadness at parting, but of quiet excitement for the road ahead.

At JAAD, we cherish the stories that Classic cars carry with them, and strive to offer guidance that truly fits each customer's lifestyle.
It is our sincere hope that your encounter with a car of timeless worth will bring richness and joy to your life for years to come.
