The fourth issue of SwissClassic Revue is now available in stores and at newsstands. The lead article in this issue is about a very special VW Type 2 T2, as it lacks a gasoline engine. The article also reveals that it has more in common with a Tesla than with other classic cars and much more besides.
There are further reports on the French Ford Comète, on chassis improvements for the Porsche 911, on the oldest surviving Porsche 356 Cabriolet from Beutler, on the subject of classic car insurance and, for the first time, on the Senn chopper from the canton of Aargau.
Of course, this issue also includes buying advice. This one is about the Ford Thunderbird. In addition, there are reports on current events, vehicle advertisements and other information.

However, there are a few points to bear in mind for unhindered T-Bird fun.
The oldest Porsche 356 Beutler Cabriolet still in existence
No, the Swiss did not invent the Porsche. But they made it possible, because almost all of the first examples went to Switzerland. And some were even bodyworked in Switzerland, namely at Beutler in Thun.
Properly insured with the classic car
Owners of classic and vintage cars often only think about insurance once a claim has been made. However, mistakes made when concluding a contract can still take revenge years later...
Senn S 75 C - American motorcycle culture "made in Switzerland"
