He is selling Cars, in the upper Market Range and has an behaviour, which I really don't understand and its hard to believe, that someone will buy a expensive Car, from a Type like this one. But it's not my business.
Do you know, what is a real price for a TZ Replica? Would like to have a TZ 2, but not for 200.000 Pounds

I took these Pics some 20 years ago, one Car was from Michel Oprey. Do you have a chassis Number?

Hello Jörg,

I read about our Belgian car dealer that he seems to be a lot more of a decent man in real live and that his 'other' behaviour comes to life on the internet only. I didn't meet him in real live, so I can't tell you. He made quite a few enemies with his behaviour and also with his actions in the past.

About the cars our Belgian car dealer sells; I agree with you that he has an behaviour, which I really don't understand.
In Holland they say 'een gewaarschuwd man telt voor twee' which means something like 'once bitten, twice shy'.

I read about the Argentinien connection on the alfabb forum. And saw the pictures of some great conversions and replica's. If you want some more pictures of great coachbuilding try this link: Home Page HIETBRINK coachbuilding

'Dretceterini' made this quote on Alfabb on the prices of TZ-1 and 2 in the TZ-1/TZ-2 thread. Quote: 'A real TZ with varified history is now worth between $500,000 and $750,000! A real TZ2 with varified history is now worth close to 2 million!' Unquote. I would like to own a TZ-1 but chances are almost 100% that I will never have the money to afford one. Looking at them is great though! And I am very content with my Junior Zagato!

I do not know the chassisnumber of Michel Oprey's TZ-1 but I do have a picture of the same car which I made 1,5 years ago when we had a drive from our Alfaclub which started at 'Coumans' in Geleen near Maastricht in the south of Holland. See the attachment. And also a picture of the TZ-1 of Anthony Mak van Waay end of the eighties/early nineties with me as a young man pushing the car to its place on a car show in Hilversum in Holland.

Ciao! Olaf
