There are more and more classic cars in the Netherlands, ie those that are 40 years old or older. In the last five years, their number has increased by 30%. Citroen is, without a doubt, among the TOP 3 most frequently collected brands in this country.
Modern motoring doesn’t seem to appeal to everyone. In Holland, the number of classics is growing very fast. Something similar is happening in Poland, although not so fast. The number of vintage cars with real engines, offering a mechanical experience rather than electronic driving, is increasing. What’s great is that French cars are also very popular!
Citroen was the third most popular brand registered in the Netherlands. More than 14,000 people have such a car that is 40 years old or older. In second place is Mercedes with 21,000, while Volkswagen is first with 32,000.
Vintage cars come in many different colors. The most popular color is blue (16.9%), followed by red (16.5%) and green (16.2%). The most popular colors for cars under 40 years old are grey, black and white.
Plans to introduce a tax on old cars cast some shadow on the future of graveyards and classic cars, but let’s hope that no one in Poland will decide on such ideas.
In the Netherlands, older models include Citroen models such as the Traction Avant, 2CV, HY, DS, CX, GS, GSA, LN and BX. There is an age limit of 40 years.
