Weyermann's Annual Old-Timer Show

[Allen Dewire]

Morn All,

Thanks for the photos Allen. Some fabulous looking cars. The sheer amount of time, money, skill and patience that goes into them does their owners real credit.

You're welcome Jim! The owners are just like us, except what we build/restore is a heck of a lot cheaper than what they do in 1/1...

Great selection of old (and not so old) iron there Allen. More character than you can shake a stick at. Still wish some enterprising manufacturers would do a range of sit up and beg machines rather than interminable Tigers and Sherman’s…..

I guess it comes down to marketing, Tim. Over here, an old timer is a vehicle that is 25 years and older. You can see in a lot of the pics, the license plate has an H (Historical) at the end, designating this. Many of these vehicles are a offered as built, usually metal models, in different scales and such. Kits are far and few between, I'm afraid...

Some nice cars there Allen, especially the one in the 4th photo! (ps they did come in other colours, but red is best)
Pete

When I saw this sitting there, you were the only person that came to mind, Pete! There weren't a lot of Triumphs there though...

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post these wonderful images. Some great nostalgic memories rose to the fore of vehicles I have owned, driven or worked on. I rebuilt a Citroen DS21 Pallas in exactly the same sandy metallic colour for a customer, such an incredibly advanced car. Why do you call it a baguette?

They definitely were ahead of their time, Stefan. I have a friend whose name is also Stefan, and he restored a Citroen DS with a Maserati motor for someone else. He also owned and restored an Alpine R6 and then sold it to buy a Citroen DS and restored it too. As to your question, My friend Stefan put a 2 foot long plastic baguette on the rear window sill as he thought it was very French. He's crazy and the thought just stuck in my head while posting the pics. He was on holiday, so he didn't display his Citroen at the show. If he had been there, then I would have taken a few pics of it as an explanation of 'Baguettemobile'...

That's an Adler Trumpf Junior.

Thank you for all the pictures, it was a pleasure to look at them.

You are welcome Andi and thanks for the name of the car. I didn't notice any name on it at the time, as he was still restoring it a bit. BTW, where abouts in Bayern do you live? I'm in Ober Franken, but I think you know where Bamberg is...

Thank you for posting, Allen. A very enjoyable time spent perusing them.
John.

Anytime John and I'm glad you enjoyed them. There were a lot of others that I would have loved to get pics of, but it got very crowded and you couldn't even get a clear shot...

Thanks again everyone and I'm glad you enjoyed the pics of the show. Have a great week!!!

Of course I know where Bamberg is. But I rarely go to Franken. I used to have a friend in Würzburg, but I think I never was in Bamberg.
I live in Niederbayern, a little way out in the Bavarian Forest (Lkrs Regen).

Thanks for the pics. Red VW convertible was just like my wife's back in the day. Restored a couple Detomaso Panteras back when working on used European cars. Black & silver 61 Vette has to be very rare. They had the most powerful production 283cu. in. small block.

Great Dude 1, just found this very interesting. The only thing wrong is the car I took my test in was powered by two horses ! :smiling2:

Afternoon all and sorry for the late replies. Been butt deep in my GTR and decaling. Heat doesn't help either...

Some very nice cars there Allen. A few not so nice too lol.

Yea Boss, there were a few fuglies, but I do wonder what the total worth of all the vehicles that were there is. Millions!!!

Cool Andi, I was stationed in Bamberg and loved the beer it, till they closed the post. I just stayed and been here for over 30 years...

You're most welcome Paul! The Pantera was the only one there. The Vette was really nicely done, but I didn't get a peek under the hood. I have a friend with a black '56 Chevy Impala with a punched out 350 under the hood, but he wasn't there either...

Glad you enjoyed the pics Dave! Lotsa eye candy for sure, Buddy...

That's a lot of work there, thanks for posting Allen.

You're very welcome Colin! Restoration is a very expensive and time consuming job...

Well Dude 2, I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag, re. your actual test vehicle. I'm a nice guy on Tuesday's, as you know...
