Some people will go to the ends of the earth to photograph a classic ;)

Ex-Works TR 2 at the Coppa d‘Europa last weekend. 1.500 kms from Maastricht via Nürburgring, Rothenburg, Regensbug to Ceske Budejovice (Budweis).

Older English couple, owning the car for ages now.

That‘s how a classic rallye car should look like - great spirit.

„Hansa“ was bought by Borgward in 1931. Borgward then used „Hansa“ as an additional „brand“ name. In the 50s „Hansa“ became part of the name of some new cars. The pink car here is a Borgward Hansa 1800, predecessor of the „Isabella“.

I'm with Jens on that TR2, fantastic condition, and doing what it was supposed to do.Far too many cars are immaculate and not driven. I bet those 2 stickers on the rear quarter screen are covering splits :D
