Einmal musste es ja passieren – anlässlich des ersten DolderClassic Meetings vom 12. Mai 2013 regnete es aus allen Kübeln.  Ich war damit beschäftigt mit grossen Besen einigermassen darauf zu achten, dass auf dem Eisfeld nicht Land unter war. Erfreulicherweise kamen dennoch einige Unbeugsame und als erster erschien Christian Jenny mit seinem wunderschönen XK 150 OTS…offen natürlich – denn, so Jenny: „Wenn es regnet und ich offen fahre kommt weniger Nässe ins Innere als bei geschlossenem Verdeck“. Well done Lads and Gents – hier habt alle bewiesen, dass es kein falsches Wetter sondern nur falsche Kleidung dazu gibt.

On the 20th of October 2012 Jaguar and Aston Martin Showrooms at Emil Frey AG, Badenerstrasse in Zürich were transformed into a showroom with most remarkable Swiss collector’s cars from different times.  It was time to announce the first Zürich Classic Car Award by EFG Bank.

All 18 cars with their proud owners appeard tot he prize. To give the prize in 4 different categories (pre-war, after-war until 1960, from 1960 until 1975 and „best of Show“ was extremely difficult since every car deserved a price at its own such was the quality oft he 18 cars. The winners were:

                  Pre-war: Lagonda Saloon V12

                  1945- 1960: Jaguar C-Type

DolderClassics 2th of September 2012

Written by Administrator | 19 September 2012

The last Dolder Classics was due to a uncertain weatherforecast not so succesful. Some of the lads and gents might have been experienced a rather wet day before in Arosa, Hittnau or at the GP Safenwil and therefore preferred to stay at cosy home. Why not – even it’s less sporty then to come up to the Dolder. Nevertheless the Season found with some 150 cars – amongst a DB4 Volante and Jaguar SS – a very beautiful end (without any rain after all!!) and the big band „Color of Jazz“ brought some swinging sounds to the dolder. C U next year !
