Westheimer couple also drives with the sun

Like many car buyers, barbara and norbert jenkner from westheim are eagerly awaiting the first test drive in their dream car. After all, they have been waiting for it for a long time.

Buchbrunner restores luxury cars to their former glory

It is his look that betrays him. His wife knows him well. "In the head you are already again at a car!", she says – and smiles indulgently. Most of the time, at least. She woman that her husband can hardly do otherwise. He is simply a passionate screwdriver. When he has an old jaguar in the workshop that won't start properly, he can't rest until the "katzchen" has been replaced purrs again.

And claus mannsbart almost always has an old jaguar in the workshop.
"I don't know why either", says the 62-year-old buchbrunner with a shrug of his shoulders. "But somehow 'jaguar' just sounds good." And that in a double sense. "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I go to the garage, turn the V8's ignition key, press the start button and feel my good mood come back when the engine is already bubbling."
