Getting reacquented.

[Guid02-DerAlteClassics]

My fellow NK friends

I haven't been on the forum for ages. Some of the hardcore early pre FAQ members might still know me and the NK scène who were on the UK forum too as Guid02. 

some of you might know me from Facebook as DerAlteClassics. 

And most of you might not know me at all. 

 

Something about myself then.

My name is Guido de Oude (surname translates to Der Alte in German)

I'm from the Netherlands. Hope to reach 52 in June. 

I've been driving classic cars since I had my driver's license. Since 2002 I started with the 02's and quickly became inundated with the virus. What started with one 22 years ago ended up with 17 cars early 2023. 

I've toned it down a bit to 14 now. And planning to sell a lot more the coming years. 

6 of those 14 are NK's

1963 Kashmir Gelb 1500(mk1)

1965 Chamonix 1600

1966 Bristol 2000ti

1967 Chamonix 2000ti

1971 Agave Grün 1800

And a 1972 Nevada 2000

I have 4 02's

1971 Condor Gelb Baur 2002 Convertible 

1973 Henna Rot Baur 2002 Convertible 

1973 Türkis 2000 Touring TII

1974 Fjord 2002 Automatic

 I also have a 1965 Guyana blue 700LS Coupe 

a 1982 Opal Grün 635CSI and a 1987 Lachsilber 325 E30 Convertible. 

 

For you who bothered to count that leaves 1 out and that's because it's not a BMW. I also have a 1964 Velázquez Green Simca 1500. (which was our wedding car, married to Shirley btw, who some of you guys know of course) 

 

In those 20 plus years I also collected a lot of parts. To many to mention. And recently I'm starting to sell those too. A few FAQ members already got in touch for those hard to find NK parts. 

 

I will now put some pictures up below so not to  bore you any further.

Planning to visit the forum more often, but also contact my via facebook DerAlteClassics for NK advice or whatever

Love that Langheck!

If it helps you downsize your collection,, I will say you've went beyond what most would to get me an NOS NK door I needed and the packaging was very professionally done.  Also, the Tisa wheelset was shipped with the utmost care and concern.  If I had the money and the room, I'd definitely buy a car from you!

 

It may be a good idea to post in the main 2002 forum for greater exposure of you collection?

Thx Tom

I will one day 😉

Beautiful collection, in 1970 I bought my first NK. It was a 1800 in Bristol.  And in 1978 I got a 2002. In 2021 I had my second O2 restored. In February 2023 I purchased an 1800 in Tampico. The picture below is me and my son. The young man that’s sitting on the front bumper is now 46 years old.

The restored 72 ‘02 is Malaga, the picture above is just prime.

I looked for you on Facebook but was unable to locate you. I’m in need of the windshield insert clips for the 1800. in my 15 month search I’ve been unable to locate them anywhere. Would you happen to have them or have a suggestion on where I might look?  I’ve been told that that weatherstripping for the windshield could be replaced with the O2 style rubber. And then I would be able to use the O2 size clips. Can you confirm that?

[Guid02-DerAlteClassics]

Okay sorry about that Greg. 

Thought that it was easy to find me with just the name but I couldn't even find myself

And concerning the clips. I think they are around. I have to look for myself too mate.

The 02 strips do work. My Nevada 2000 actually has a 02 strip in the windshield

rubber

It just isn't as tight as the NK strip. Which hasn't been a problem for the last 15 years I have that car. 

It sort of was a stopgap solution but ......if it works it works
