The Dutch Corvette Collection
There is a man named Andre Boer. He lives in Wezep , Netherlands. Some people say he has one of the most extensive collections of Corvettes in the world.
He is also one of the nicest. My car's rear has been acting up since Paris, maybe before. We checked it in Paris, in Amsterdam, in Breda, and Jack Jansen's repair facility, his corvette's later, we noticed problems with u-joint on the haft-shaft. Jack did not have any , but said he would call Andre Boer, a friend and Andre also fixes corvettes.
I set off for Andre's place and what I found , I would like to share.
Andre welcomed me, from under a car he was working on. Came over and told me that I had heard of my trip and that I was having a problem with my car.
He asked his son Johan to look at my car when he could, Martyn, his other son was also working on cars. A third son, Michel was studying finance.
He asked if I had time to look a car or two while work was being done on my car. I said "sure"
What I found was a man with a passion for Corvettes. A passion that has lead to having almost 100 great cars and 100 spare cars to keep the first 100 happy.
He was kind enough to show me every car and how he works on them for his collection and also as place where late model Corvettes and Mercedes can be bought .
Later in the day my car was fixed, new rear outer half shaft joint, peace of mind and to top it all, a home cooked meal.
I had dinner with Andre, wife Hinnie, three sons, daughter inlaw and two grandchildren. I felt very at home.
Here are pictures. I will post 12 more in next post. The link to his collections is
