The Mind Behind

A BRIEF HERITAGE

Rikkert zee, founder

From an early age, cars were more than an interest.

They felt like a language I instinctively understood. Childhood weekends were filled with model cars, curiosity and joining classic rallies at six or seven years old.

Many defining moments happened in the passenger seat of my father’s French classics, especially the unforgettable Citroën CX Turbo 2.

At fifteen I sold my first car by accident in the workshop of a classic Citroen specialist.

The experience revealed that this was more than a hobby. 

To refine my skills I later studied at IVA Driebergen, one of the leading commercial automotive academies of the Netherlands.

My connection to British motoring grew trough a local collector.

Whose fleet included Bentley Blowers, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin icons.

My first car, a Jaguar XJ8 in "Spruce Green Mica" began a long line of British classics that shaped my taste and identity.

"The jaggg...."

After building a structured, international mindset in the aviation and technical industries working with companies such as Wartsila, SNEPCO and CATOBI, I choose to bring commercial dicipline together with my lifelong passion for significant motorcars.

This new chapter is a challenge I approach with confidence and genuine enthusiasm. The world of meaningful automobiles leaves no room for mistakes, much like the aviation industry: precision, integrity and accountability are non-negotiable. 

Embracing that standard makes this transaction one of the best decisions I have ever made.
