Autodesign in Nederland
« on: May 12, 2010, 12:05:22 PM »
Title: Autodesign in Nederland
Published: 1993, Waanders
ISBN: 9066303727
Subject: Dutch build cars

The book "Autodesign in Nederland" probably is well known by a lot of you guys out here.

The book, published in 1993, written by Jan Lammerse en published by Waanders is probably the most well known book about Dutch cars. It is also probably one of the most complete. Written by one of the members of the then new organisation Conam, I got my example by pure chance in early 2000. At that stage it was at my local bookshop for the bargainprice of 19 guilders, which is not even 10 euro.

It sparked a renewed interest in cars for me, and a starting point to buy some books later on.

The book printed in colour has a soft cover and has some small (minor?) errors and ommisions, but surely must be considered the standard book for Dutch cars. Pictures to follow. The book was - as far as I am aware - only published in Dutch.

PS) Other books about Dutch cars: "Historisch overzicht van de Nederlandse Autoindustrie" by M. Wallast and "Oude auto's en hun maklers" B. Den Heldt.

It was their best-selling book for a while. They still have one copy left, but upped the price to € 50,-  ;)

I'm about the only one here that didn't buy it. Perhaps that's because I was too lazy to walk the 200 meters from my house to that very bookshop?  ;D

Could be...

But I built and raced my single seater in the late'80s, so I think that is before the book came out.

The Neva definitely is too. What I am trying to say is that because of that book others have come forward with their cars. And of course we had some new makes since then too.

I made an English translation of this book ‘Autodesign in Nederland’ for one of our fellow Autopuzzlers who does not speak Dutch, a limitation that most of the Autopuzzles members probably have in common.
So if you also own this book, do not speak Dutch and want to receive the English translation I made, just send me a PM.
(Do not expect a translation without linguistic errors, but my English translation will for sure be easier to understand for most of you than the original Dutch text.)
