Jan Dolsma (76) from Meppel (Netherlands) became fascinated by cars as a child. He collected BSA and Moto Guzzi motorcycles, but when it comes to four-wheelers, nothing beats Citroën for him.
The oldest show horse in his stable dates from 1929: a C4. Bought in 1972. "It wasn't in very good condition. I had to do a tremendous amount of work on it. Nowadays, thanks to the internet, it usually doesn't take too much effort to get a part, but in those years, it wasn’t easy. It took a long search before I found the Bakelite horn I was looking for".
Due to his age, Dolsma, who ran an advertising agency during his working years, has thinned out his collection. A few years back, he sold his 2CV, a Citroën Traction and two Mercedes from 1960 and 1961. He still has a choice of three Citroëns to take for a drive: A C6, a C4 or a metallic green DS Palace 2300 from 1973, popularly known as a pike.
