Then buy! Cars by Rinus Michels, Bassie & Adriaan and more


Looking for a nice used car and want something other than a gray Golf or a dull Corolla? Accelerator and Autotrack were busy with their offer, where they met the cars of Rinus Michels and Bassie & Adriaan, among others.

There are half a million used cars for sale in the Netherlands, so as a buyer you quickly lose sight of the forest for the trees. However, if you take the time, you can discover real gems, like this one…

After all, the Hummer H1 was originally a military vehicle: the Humvee. So it goes without saying that H1 not so much luxury. Its 6.2-liter non-turbo diesel is noisy, slow and mated to an old three-speed transmission (!).
