It is always pleasing to be able to share with you pictures from family motoring albums taken by previous generations and today is the next one from Hugo Modderman, our vintage car expert friend who has premises in Monaco and Rotterdam.

He inherits his passion from his father who obviously had good taste – not only in cars. The picture shows a beautiful girl happy to oblige when her Father, Mr. Stapel, asked her to pose beside the 1935 Adler Trumpf which had finally been sold from his garage showroom in The Hague. This had just become the first car of Hugo Modderman’s father. (Hugo’s uncle drove a more sporting 1925 Stoewer D10) Hugo writes, "Take note of the special safety bumper." The Modderman family’s first car was, we believe, the Trumpf “Cabrio-Limousine” costing 2,650 Marks (2,750 for the ‘Limousine’) with front wheel drive designed by Hans Gustav Röhr, the German engineer, who, aged 17 in 1912, had built an aeroplane and used a 5 cylinder radial engine incorporating cylinders from a motorcycle engine.

We look forward to more pictures from old family photograph albums and hope you are making an album of your cars for future generations?
