I am Edward van Zanten, 43 years old.
I have a passion for classic Peugeots.
We used to go to France for holidays...
...and saw quite some old abandoned cars next to the road...
...and it were the Peugeots that that appealed to me.
When my brother was about 16-17 years, he wanted to buy a classic car...
...and he chose a 403 at first.
Some acquaintances found one for us..
...but that 403 was so bad it didn't have a chance.
And a few months later we found a 203 here in the Netherlands...
...and over time we fixed and restored the car...
...getting parts in France.
You start to find the addresses where to get parts...
And...
...here my passion, my love for Peugeot started.
Well, driving the 403, or any brand classic car, is relaxing.
You know in this car you cannot speed, it's not fast...
...and once you get in you let go...
It's not only that feeling from ancient times... when this car was new....
Well... It's just fun. To drive such a car.
It's an experience.
We worked on this Peugeot 203 for about 8 years to bring it into concours condition.
Finally in 2010 we bought a 304...
...paint was in reasonable condition and I figured this is a car to fix and drive.
Then something terrible happened.
September 24 we planned to go to the Ardennes in Belgium...
...together with my parents, my brother and my wife.
I would drive the 403 and my brother the 203.
The second dat we drove to another hotel...
...and on the way to the hotel we got a frontal hit.
This was no fun...
I was in the hospital in Belgium for 3 weeks...
Those times were heavy on us but both of us have a positive attitude...
...and we couldn't allow this accident caused the end of our hobby and passion for Peugeot.
My wife was still recovering in the Sint Maarten Clinic until april 2011...
...and in the meantime I started looking for another 403 and I found this one.
I had to fix a lot of things on it but...
I didn't repaint it because it's must be for pleasure....
...just drive and having fun.
Last year we drove the Route National with the 403.
. I wanted to do this a long time but never came to do it.
So, over the Peage we went to Paris at about 100 kmh.
The triangle windows open for some fresh air... quite bearable.
First, we drove to the Eiffeltower.
We parked in front of the tower and waited for a moment no cars passed by to make a picture...
...that gives a kick.
It took us about 8 days. Every day 100-150 km.
All these small road to like.
Really enjoyable and remarkable enough......
...the 403 is really comfortable, shifts, brakes, steering is smooth...
Of course it has a soft handling. It's not a sportscar but it is very comfortable.
If you don't know the 403, it's just an average car...
...just four doors, a trunk and a hood, but...
...as you look a little further...
...and look at the design...
...the model and you see the curves...
...then the car shows beautiful lines..
You must be familiar with this car to properly maintain it...
Technics are fairly simple but has some quirks that need some persuasion...
...but years of experience in craftwork...
...we can solve most issues without problems.
This is the engine compartiment of the 403.
Pretty simple.
I wanted to add some power to make it a bit special.
I found a special intake manifold om Internet.
Then, with double carburators, you expect a lot of extra power. More air passing...
I used it for about 5000 km. Long enoug to find...
...it didn't work. Like I expected.
At high speed it worked fine but...
...but not at low revolutions.
As a result, at every trafficlight the engine tend to stall.
So, I rebuilt the original wich is much more comfortable as with the double carburators.
I like to keep the pace in my oldtimer but anticipate a lot more.
When I approach a crossing and have priority, I still release the throttle a bit...
....to see what the others are doing.
You don't want an accident in an oldtimer, because...
...crashtests and crumple zones were not common those days.
The control rod is diretly connected to the subframe and will be forced inside in a crash.
There are no airbags.
This car is now equipped with safety belts...
They are not original but after our crash we decided to leave them in.
If I had safety belts back then at least my hips were safe and..
...injuries would be much less severe.
Good day I’m Amanda, I’m 27 years old and I’m from Belgium.
I’ve always been passionate about cars
my father is a car dealer and since I was little...
...he used to take me everywhere in all kinds of cars and...
...to car shows where I always loved those cars with a horse on it.
And then I eventually ended up at this car, the blue Shelby.
It always was my dream car and I think that will never change.
Through my mustang love I ended up in the...
...mustang world and there you have a very fun club.
I always pull up to places driving my car and people will look at me a bit funny
because a girl steps out of such a car and...
... they’ll react like: “Oh is that your dads car?" or "your boyfriends?”
So I always have to explain that that’s my car and...
...I’ll tellthem how much I love my car and what I love about my car.
Together with this car comes a bit of an American lifestyle.
Rock and Roll, tattoos, rockabilly. Just a bit more of the cool more fun side.
That suits me fine because I’m a bit of an badass.
I love tattoos, tattooing, the music, going out for a nice dinner.
Touring around with my car. A bit like it was in America...
...in the sixties and that lifestyle kind of suits me,
I wasn’t born into it but it has grown on me
I think and this car is just an extension of that and...
...has become a part of my identity over the years.
What makes a Shelby more than just a mustang?
Well back in 1969 they took a mustang Mach 1.
Just a regular mustang mach 1.
They took it to a different factory where they took off the nose and the rear end.
Then they put on a polyester nose and rear end on that was differently styled.
They added a rollbar, the engine got pimped up a bit with...
... a different carburetor and intake, they altered the suspension a bit so it would corner better.
And that’s how you suddenly ended up with a Shelby.
Slap on a few badges and wham! You got a whole new car.
That’s one of the things that I find very cool about the car.
It is just that little bit more than the standard Mustang The standard pony car.
It turned into more of a race horse.
It drives amazing.
it drives swift without being nervous because I really dislike driving nervous cars.
it still drives pretty relaxed and makes a great sound, I don’t need a radio.
It’s just pure enjoyment and going for a drive is like having a mini vacation.
It’s still pretty fast and sporty.
They just have a whole look, an appearance, a bit of a culture.
It’s a kind of music, it’s a kind of life, it’s a kind of love I’d say.
And then there was a day I fell in love with this car.
I had only seen it on pictures but I instantly fell in love as it was really my dream car.
At the time I still had a ’69 Mach 1 that I put up for sale.
...and could sell a few days later, that made me able to buy this car.
But I didn’t quite have it yet because it was still in the US.
So it still had to be shipped and that took about 2 months.
That we’re 2 months where I’d wake up in the middle of the night wondering if it was already here.
Then came the day he was finally here and I just couldn’t wait to sit in it.
Look at everything, start it, hear the sound and then drive it around.
I just fell in love instantly, love at first sight.
I have never had something like this with a car, it’s just THE car!
Everything about it is perfect. Everything is beautiful and it drove perfectly.
Just way more than I had ever expected.
And now what’s under the hood, a 351 Winsor.
A 5,7 liter engine and back in the days it had 290 HP.
It’s all still as it once was in ’69 and not a lot has been done about it.
Which I really like. The car is still as it left the factory.
The car turns 46 this year and nothing has been changed,
These things were build to last a lifetime and it really does.
This always makes me happy. It really makes me ecstatic to do that,
Just getting pushed back into your seat because the car accellerates.
I just find that such a good feeling.
I am Guy Moerenhout, owner of the Abarth Works Museum
My hobby is riding rally's in historical cars
So, we not only have a museum but also use the museumcars in rallys
Today we invite you to experience a historical rally
This rally is ridden in 2 days and...
The field consists of 60 cars and today is the first competition day
I am Filip de Munck, 47 years...
Navigating for about 25 years now...
...and...
With Guy we form a team
Guy is the pilot and I am the navigator
According to the roadbook, provided by the organisator...
...we have to ride the ideal course
The course is shown by 'bullet-arrow' symbols
But can also be partially represented by regular maps
The event began at 7:30 am
We arrived at 8:00
First started with a full technical check
Insurrance and licences will be checked just as your gear
And then waiting starts...
It's always a surprise if you pass
We must be in sync with eachother...
...and respond instantly because I have to obey to his commands
The co-pilot actually is the boss in the car
It is about riding the ideal course that gives the less penalties possible
At the end of the rally, the one with the least penalties is the winner
He is the one that followed the directions the closest
A rally needs playing with your car and a quick response
You have to try preparing the rallycar yourself
If you do it yourself, you get aquaited to the car better
Rallysport is a teamsport
Everithing must comply
Bring the right car...
... the right co-pilot, very important...
... and you have to be a good driver
because several classed are recognised
Expertclass, noviceclass and a class for newbies
We compete in the expertclass
We started back in 1971 and still do
Just because it is a masculin sport
But also for a team
There must be a team. Without a cooperation in the car, it won't work
The first day is finished now and I believe we are within the first 3 competitors
It was a fast rally, very nice and we hope for good results tomorrow
'Goodmorning and welcome on the second day of the Antwerpem Klassiekertour'
'Did you all find the last-minutes in your roadbook?'
'It is a separate sheet... does everybody have... the last minutes?'
Navigation was handed to me father-to-son
My father was also actively riding rally's
He took me to the rally's...
...and step by step we started to ride together
Also, I started relatively simple map-based navigation...
...together with a friend or girlfriend
And later on, in the ninety's, the historic rally's were organised
...and we joined several in an oldtimer
Through the years I....
...became an allround navigator...
...familiar with both navigation and...
speed rally's like the Ypres Rally and the Condroz
But always with old vehicles
I do this for about 25 years now
Often as a winner, or another place on the victory stand
I navigate for Guy for 20 years now...
... and together we try to race in a few nice rally's every year
If you are gifted with good reflexes, you can be a good pilot
The difference between a rally-pilot and a circuit-pilot is...
...circuit needs very precise driving...
...while in rallydriving you must make the right descisions in very short notice...
... for yourself, your car and spectators
Because it can be quite dangerous
'On stage now, todays winners'
'It must be because you were twiddling your thumbs all day...'
'...but for a citizen of Antwerpen it is great to be here'
This was a fantastic weekend for us
So I want to thank my co-pilot for his co-operation these two days
Thanks to him we were able to win this event, so: Thanks!
Guy, It was a pleasure.
You know, you can't do this alone and...
Somebody has to turn the wheel and in this case
a big wheel even
It's a very nice car but not an easy one
The organisators sent us over extreme small and curvy roads
Also from my side: You did a very good job
Congratulations!
I wish together we can enjoy a lot more of these nice rally's
This is the perfect experience
9-10 degrees Celcius
Perfect conditions to drive open.
Cold wind in your hair, your ears
No windows, no windreflector.
Marvelous. Extraordinary.
As a little bor I played intensively with small cars.
I am Anglophile. Crazy about England
I travelled a lot there.
Before I bought the MG, I took pictures of everything I saw.
Exclusively MG's
That feeling only grew..
And then the moment came I found a MG
And I decided:"It must ne a MG"
And so, the restauration of a MG-A started.
