Buy a pre-war classic at Oldtimerservice Kranz in Straelen
More than a classic car: living history
Anyone looking to buy a pre-war car is choosing an era when engineering was visible, mechanics could be felt – and driving itself was a special experience. At our premises in Straelen on the Lower Rhine, you’ll find selected vehicles from the 1920s and 1930s for sale. These are vehicles that we inspect, maintain and test with the same passion as our own vehicles, which we use in motorsport.
Pre-war cars captivate because they have character. Often hand-built and sometimes individually crafted, they reflect the courage, skills and ideas of early automotive engineering. Those who buy a pre-war car usually aren’t looking for a mere collector’s piece, but for a distinctive driving experience that’s rare today.
Technically checked for real driving pleasure
Before a car is offered, we thoroughly inspect it in our own workshop. Engine, gearbox, axles, brakes and electrics are assessed, adjusted and documented. For us, it’s not just about historical value – it’s about one key question: does it drive well? Our standard is that you buy a pre-war classic you can rely on – for tours, rallies or historic races. Many of the vehicles we offer have been serviced, restored or supported by us over many years.
International network for buying and selling
If you’d like support choosing the right car, we advise you personally and with lots of experience. We explain the specifics, compare models, discuss intended use and help you find the vehicle that truly suits you. In addition to the cars listed on this page, we may have further pre-war vehicles available. Looking for something very specific? Our international network enables us to source vehicles that aren’t publicly listed. Just speak to us – we’ll be happy to help.
