Welcome to Mierlo Oldtimer. We’ve tried to keep it low cost: no staff and a simple though charming and warm building.
We’ve started to import cars from the (Western) USA over 30 years ago, and since 20 years also from Italy. Over the last years our buying focus moved from USA to Europe.
Traditionally we are specialized in English cars to be restored, like e.g. MG A and B Triumph TR 2 to 6, Austin Healey and Jaguar. In addition, we also like to buy classic exotics and special Mercedes.
Currently we have a wide variety of cars in stock, ranging from restoration project to ready to drive off.
You’re more than welcome to visit us : by appointment only !
