At the ADAC Annual General Meeting in Bielefeld, former BMW Motorsport Director Prof. Dr. Mario Theissen was elected as the new "Speaker for Classic Cars".
Classic car enthusiast Theissen commented in conversation:
"It's not a full-time job, but a voluntary task. Like the presidium, the speaker level below it also works on a voluntary basis. In addition to the existing departments for cars, motorcycles and motorboats, a fourth department has been set up for classic cars. I have taken on this task. The ADAC is active in many ways in the classic car sector. From its role as national representative (ANF) in the world association FIVA to lobbying in the parliamentary working group "Automobile Cultural Heritage", the creation of vehicle passports and the support of members in all matters relating to classic cars and motorcycles through to the events organized by the ADAC. Coordinating these activities and representing them both internally and in public is the task of the speaker. He does this in close cooperation with the employees at headquarters and in the regions."
Hermann Tomczyk on the election of Theissen: "Mario Theissen is a passionate car enthusiast and exactly the right man for the newly created position of classic car consultant. He will give the classic car section many new impulses and sharpen its profile".
Zwischengas wishes the new consultant all the best and lots of fun in his new role.
