Ron, Marjo and Matthew Keij are taking the plunge - and taking the '59 Sport Furys with them to Manderscheid, Germany!

> Ron:  
> Two more weeks in Poortvliet and then we go, May 11th is moving day. The convertibile is all loaded up, departure on Saturday at 8am. The convertible had no brakes so Matthew had to use the handbrake 😮

> Ron:  
> Number 1 arrived at it’s new home. A tight fit but as we like to say it fits like a glove.

How will the hardtop get to Manderscheid?

> Ron:  
> Not sure what we’ll do about the hardtop. It’s been sitting for a long time and it is a pretty long trip. We would be driving almost 400 kilometer, before I had no issue with that but now with a rebuild engine and not having the time for test driving it…

Stay tuned for Chapter 2!

> The old home - we left the stars and stripes pennants in the old garage for the new owners, maybe it’ll give them inspiration!
