We've got a real KONI car lift!


And it is old. Very old! Specialists think this particular lift is from 1950, upon examination of these two pictures. The lift will be the center piece in our showroom! Plans are to paint it white with red running boards, just like the current KONI lift colors. But the current black color is the original color of the lift...
It will be delivered next saturday (2nd of February).

A little bit of KONI trivia: the original KONI factory, famous for their shock absorbers and car lifts, is located in Oud-Beijerland, which is a village in the Hoeksche Waard, the isle where 's-Gravendeel is also located on. And I think it is funny to have as much as possible items that were assembled locally! (links courtesty of Wikipedia)
