The August 2016 issue of Oldtimer Markt takes up a controversial topic, namely that of classic car conversions - whether custom cars or modernized classics. Using the example of a VW Bus T1 in its original condition and as a customized classic, we discuss what is allowed and what is better left alone.
Using the example of two Ford Escorts, it shows how you can still get an H license plate despite conversions and compares an original Pagoda and a Mechatronic M-SL (with a modern eight-cylinder engine) to see what the real differences are, especially under the bodywork.
It is up to the reader to decide whether the Oldtimer Markt magazine does full justice to the widely advertised topic.
