What's the most common problem at any rally, tour or show? Right! So you can imagine that every organiser is begging you to coem along,  to show up or at least to be near. The funny thing in the biased observation of your editor, the 1960 Opel Blitz is still a very common appearance which is way beyond the truth; this has to do that as a bou we used to drive a similar tanker, but yes you are right again, that was a Bedford, not an Opel Blitz like the car we have here.

In the early sixties and several decades after the Blitz was the more common medium size truck in Holland and was seen in a zillion guises. This 1960 model was custom built in Holland and after a sad period in life was restored meticulously to full former glory. One detail, the Esso advertising is no easy stick-on vinyl but all handpainted just like on the original. Now if you would like to rally a car like this don't be afraid to have a sluggish diesel. These Opel trucks came standard with petrol engine and - what's in a name - the Blitz was fast! Book a test drive with Lex Classics and if you're clever be sure to arrive with an empty tank ;-)
