My name is Vincent Praag and I work in the purchasing and sales department at E&R Classics. After high school I went to TIO Eindhoven where I completed the Commercial Business Management course. I completed this study in 1 year instead of 3 years. I couldn't wait to start among all the beautiful classic cars!
My first car was an Alfa Romeo Mito. This car was waiting for me for longer than I drove it. It was a very nice first car, but after 3 months it started eating again and I went looking for something else.
My dream car is a classic Ferrari. I have expensive tastes... The power and sound of a Ferrari combined with the looks make it my ultimate dream car.
Suppose you had to give someone a lift. Who would it be and why? I would help Max Verstappen, maybe he can give me some driving lessons. In 2021 Max became world champion for the first time and what a way! He overtook Hamilton in the last lap, amazing (for Max fans)! I am a big Formula 1 fan, that is why I chose him.
What is your best car-related memory? For me, the most special memory is that I sold a Porsche 356 to a very nice lady on a Spanish island. I contacted her by telephone and she requested more information about our extensively restored Porsche 356. After a few conversations, she indicated that she really liked this classic Porsche in her garage.
After the necessary research regarding transport to this Spanish island, I succeeded. A beautiful Porsche 356 is now at home with a beautiful person!
What makes a working day at E&R Classics so much fun for you? I enjoy going to work every day. Personally, I really like the variation you experience every day. For example, in the morning I don't know what classic cars will be offered to me or what classic car will be sold today. I particularly enjoy the contact with customers and they are all enthusiasts who share the same passion for old-timers. Furthermore, I think our team is a top team. Everyone works hard and has fun and that creates a good atmosphere!
