Issue 3/2014 of Oldtimer Markt is now on newsstands. And once again, the 240-page magazine presents a variety of topics.
The hidden Opel museum
Oldtimer Markt enjoys the privilege of working intensively in the temporary Opel Museum, which is open to the public but difficult to reach. And there are some very interesting rarities among the almost 500 exhibits.
Troubleshooting with an infrared thermometer
DIY enthusiasts and classic car owners will be interested in a report that explains how you can use an infrared thermometer to track down problems or pending risks around your own classic car. The fact that it is more about the correct application and less about the price of the device (inexpensive models are already available for less than 100 euros) is just one of the things you realize when reading the article.
With marked cards
Another report examines the issue of the increasing number of counterfeits. Forgeries in the high-price segment have been known for a long time, and not just since brand-new Bugatti 35s or 51s have been produced in countries such as Argentina. But even cheaper classic cars are being cheated, with a normal Ford Escort quickly becoming an RS 2000, an NSU 1000 a TT or a Ford Mustang a Shelby GT 350. And the counterfeiters don't even stop at Opel or Fiat.
Millecento in a tailor-made suit
Oldtimer Markt devotes another six pages to the OSI 1200 Coupé and Cabriolet, which is hardly known in this country, and tells the short story of the classic car designed by Giovanni Michelotti, of which a three-digit number is said to have been built.
Lots of reading material
Other articles provide information on the Pontiac Firebird and Chevrolet Camaro, Gutbrod Superior and the French Peugeot 504 and Citroën DS 23ie. In addition, there are of course reviews of events and a large number of classified advertisements in the new issue, so that once you have started reading it, you won't be able to put it down again so quickly.
