Amazing Louwman Museum, 2019 quick visit! Wonderful cars.

A very brief tour showing just a fraction of the amazing vehicles on show at the Louwman Museum, The Hague, Netherlands. A truly remarkable place. The Microcar exhibition has sadly ended now. www.louwmanmuseum.nl
I had hoped to do a longer video, but I'd arrived in The Netherlands that morning, then driven about 20 miles to drive a Talbot Solara, then driven about 30 more miles back up to the museum. I was shattered! Also, I was soon massively over-stimulated by this remarkable collection of cars.

Oooooohhhh......that Mazda Cosmo!...❤

[@Isayso1]

Hi Ian. The car next to the bulletnose Studebaker is a Kaiser Darrin, or Darrin Kaiser. Named to the designer John? Darrin and the manufacturer HenryJ. Kaiser.

[@kevinwhelan8126]

Whew, what a veritable treasure trove especially the selection of tiny cars!

[@jon1martin]

Brilliant video, thanks. Nice view of some unusual vehicles!

[@thepofmeister]

That was a treat! Excellent!

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly Mr HubNut, truly beautiful cars, especially the Mazda coupe.

[@MrButtonpresser]

Classic HubNuttery! Thanks.

[@northdevonwildlifewithandy788]

Wonderful collection!

[@simonredfern2584]

Exellent! I think this place will have to go on the list to be visited, great variety.

[@sg8539]

What a great collection of cars some of which i have never heard of and all displayed beautifully in a fantastic setting. Really liked your friends Skyline Ian. Thanks great video as usual.

[@julianlangdon3456]

Fabulous as ever and another one 'On the List' for a future date

[@pdtech4524]

Excellent video, enjoyed the tour around the car museum 👍😎

[@grayfool]

You find all the best places. Very unusual collection.

[@shaunw9270]

Thanks for the tour ! That Panhard was beautiful 👌

[@929V6]

The convertible with sliding doors is a Kaiser Darrin, one of the first cars with a fiberglass body.

[@TheSiebrowse]

Was just about to point that out... but saw your comment first 👍

[@annkeville8355]

Fantastic museum thanks hub I may never have seen them amazing cars love Toyota

[@robertbills4290]

Lovely video beautiful cars IAN thank you for sharing

[@alexmcdougall889]

What a great tour, thanks for sharing Ian. I always enjoy watching your series. Thanks !

[@m0xcf72]

Haven’t watched it yet Ian but I was literally just thinking I could do with a HubNut video to watch

[@graemew7001]

Wow that website is something else, even if you can't get there to visit you can still see and read about the cars. Thanks for the heads up Ian.

[@rydermike33]

Now that's the way to do a motor museum. Wonderful stuff. Lovely collection of mico cars and nice to see a Triumph Renoun 'Razor edge'.

[@landsnailproject2875]

WOW - - what a collection of gems ! ! Makes and models I've never known about despite my many, many years of vehicle addiction. This video I'm sure to go over time and time again to take in all it's wonder. Thank you Ian - -guaranteed to keep me quiet and googling (goggling?) for ages. Superb stuff, and what a setting!

[@GoliathAngelus]

I thank you for this tour

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Ian, great video of the museum nice cars there,all different makes and models,I remember Genevieve car very well,seen the film a few times😀.

[@sereneang5754]

Quite wonderful exhibits

[@1066gaz]

Lots of rare cars not seen before very nice. Good idea having commentary with lots of stills works very well.

[@xtristarx]

Oh yes, my Mazda 626 Coupé featured again ;) Thanky mate! Can#t wait for your NZ adventure :)

[@niklaswejedal463]

Wow! - Just wow! Got to go there some day!!! Amazing collection.

[@niklaswejedal463]

Oh, good thing all the collection is on display on the museum webpage to look at and read about - this might take some time... oh joy!

[@theshowman8478]

Great fun. Thanks.

[@overmarsdaria3222]

I love that Lloyd Borgward red/pink with the cream roof, just too cute!!

[@bentullett6068]

Looks a interesting museum. I love museums with a street scene and Coventry transport museum is one of my favourites to visit even if you now have to pay for it as it flows nicely through the different era's telling a story not just about the cars but the city of Coventry as well.

[@raspucin70]

that was a treat indeed!

[@jfv65]

DAF was absolutely not the first Dutch made car. There were a number of pre-war car manufacturers in the Netherlands. The first was Eysink (1897) , later they made motorcycles and mopeds. The most famous pre-war brand was Spyker , one of their cars competed in the Paris to Bejing rally of 1907. That rally was won by an ITALA but the Spyker did finish the rally.

[@TheStobb50]

Big thumbs up for that one👍

[@happyhermit2022]

That was really interesting thank you 🤗

[@PeeJay7290]

So many cute cars! I didn’t realise Subaru were that old

[@H4lminator]

What an interesting and beautiful museum. As a Dutchman, I should really pay a visit.

[@mpkcleaningservices-cardet2835]

That white car with the sliding doors next to the red studebaker is a Kaiser Darrin nice review love to visit that museum 👍

[@davidfarmer2049]

Astonishing range of vehicles thanks for sharing. Very good narration,though I hte to admit it!!!! ;-)

[@paulbennell3313]

Looks like a fascinating place, genuinely different.

[@GuyChapman]

The story of the Toyota is indeed fascinating. I was not aware that 's-Gravenhaghe had a museum this good!

[@Kraken1000]

Fascinating.

[@AliMackMechanical]

Wow beautiful place some great car's. I don't think I would want to go home. Lol

[@James-oo1yq]

WOW! Some amazing cars. What I admire is the people who have restored the cars that really aren't worth restoring in terms of value, as the restoration of some of these cars probably cost more than they are worth. I'd personally take Elvis old caddy...even though it is hideous lol.

[@welshy8216]

Bacon butty + Hubnut video = Heaven on a Sunday morning

[@ujohansson65]

Nice video i had a Mazda 626 coupé light blue a 1980 model.😀

[@jefferysmith3930]

Nice little tour. I see someone else has already cleared up the sliding door coupe as being a Kaiser Darrin. I love the parting shot of the 626 coupe. My wife drove a white one when we met. I didn’t appreciate what a pretty little car it was 30 years (yikes!) ago. I don’t think I ever drove it. I did work on it the weekend we met fixing a dodgy battery connection. This endeared me to my future father in law right off the bat! Good times.

[@StewartP45]

Thanks for putting up this video, museum is on my visit list-at who knows when in the future- but footage has certainly piqued my interest.

[@mikeeagletube]

My favorite museum in the country :-) Spent many an hour there.

[@thomasclarkharris9241]

Most excellent :)

[@Mr8erg]

Having visited last Sunday I can agree it’s a stunning collection of machinery, the automotive art section is vast too if you like that kind of thing. I managed to detour on the journey home from Classic Remise in Dusseldorf and it was definitely worth the additional miles. Oh I did find the car park a little over complicated to extricate my car from but I guess that’s my own fault for not practising my Dutch in advance.

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

What a cool place, the speed of your tour reminds me of when I last took my wife to a Motor Museum Lol. Jay Leno does have some great stuff on his channel.

[@gord307]

They appear to have half of the Friskys that are still in existence. Needless to say - I want one! Another excellent video. :-)

[@HubNut]

I think I've seen four at once at the NEC Classic Motor Show. Always incredible.

[@biffick99]

Some very interesting, if not bizarre looking vehicles in fantastic condition.

[@chrisweddle2577]

Lovely video! That Spyker was the other car in the film Genevieve.

[@peterriggall8409]

Mind blowing..........

[@Dan23_7]

Brilliant Ian 👍🏻 Only yesterday I watched an urban explorer vid called "DAF house" Low and behold there is an old daf car in the garage, in yellow. I don't know the model but it looked similar to the one here

[@AlexMiedemaFRL]

I visited the museum a few years ago. Very nice. Something you can’t NOT visit if you are a Dutch car enthousiast.

[@kim007250]

wow that was great

[@micheltebraake7915]

Last year I was in Raamsdonksveer at the private collection of Louwman, many Toyotas and also "storage" of museum cars. Yes, this museum is on my TODO list!

[@BarryAllenMagic]

What a beautiful array of vehicles and automobilia. Worryingly, I realised about halfway through that the first thing I now look for are windscreen wipers. Scary!

[@verygood7155]

Correction: The VELAM was an Isetta licensed from Iso not BMW. The BMW Isetta was also licensed by Iso the creator of the Isetta and the Isetta franchise. Iso also licensed the Romi Isetta in Brazil.

[@HubNut]

Thanks. When I looked back at the styling, I did wonder.

[@Capriboy1972]

Interesting 🤔😁, lots of hub nut cars there 😎

[@frothe42]

Fantastic! I love automotive history, and what vehicles! Being American, recognised the American autos. I agree with you on the Cadillac; without the fender skirts, it looks hideous. Yes, Edsel was part of Ford, but a separate brand like Mercury, both are gone. Edsel came out when the country was going through a recession, that, poor sales and its styling caused it to be cancelled, banished only to collectors and museums. Bravo Ian, well done!

[@TheStan80]

more of this please i wholely approve

[@martiniv8924]

American Cord’s straight 8’s lovely 😍

[@murrayfranklyn84]

The Powerdrive (1.33) was a twin cylinder British Anzani, I was unfortunate enough to own one in my teens. The chassis was made from 'U' shaped channels with a thin steel plate spot welded to the top of the U, the spot welds on my car had unspotted, so going round a bend the rear bodywork scraped on the road. My father and I took the body off the chassis and bolted timber from a bedframe into the 'U' channels, then pop riveted the plate back on the top, worked well. Sold the car to a school friend.

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

Been there three or so years ago. They got an amazing collection. What cars are currently on display is (or at least was) on their website.

[@Luckyjo21]

0:53 Oh yes we need a review on that!! It will get loads of views

[@lewishart9698]

TriHard and if it were mine i dont think id have parked it so close to tge left hand drive car next to it...assuming it was already there

[@stepheng8779]

That Pegasso, swoon. I don't do swoon but blimey. Lovely selection, or is it collection? Whatever, lovely.

[@MattBrownbill]

So many of those cars were in my Ladybird book of cars from 1961.

[@AutoAddictuk]

Wanted to go there for years, one day ill manage. I believe the swan car was made just down the road from me in Suffolk.

[@bennyhannover9361]

There was also a Zündapp Scooter, licence Italy, and a Zündapp Moped 50 cc in orange.

[@bennyhannover9361]

at 5:54 there is behind the Renault also a grey 1981 to 1986 Trabant 601 Limousine, to be recognised from the black plastic handles at the doors.

[@taxus750]

Believe it or not (...) I drove a gold 626 2-dr (coupe?) from about Karuah (NSW, Oz) to about Coffs Harbour, late in 1988. It's a long story, so if you're ready, I'll begin...

[@gazr8378]

Been there last week, was an amazing collection of vehicles.. shame the delorean was in the underground car park !!

[@iangrice329]

Suzuki sc100 wizkid, would love one.

[@Stars_Falling_93]

Actually, your pronunciation of Louwman is quite on point. Dutch has a lot of double vowels to make the language extra difficult for non-native speakers :-) Looks like I have to pay the museum a visit. What a wonderful collection

[@runoflife87]

2:25 - It was called Zaz Yalta built in the Ukrainian SSR. It also had almost nothing in common with the Fiat construction. BTW I can explain you why the ancient Toyota was found in Russia. A lot of old japanese cars were taken as a trophy in 1945 and somehow survived in Far East region.

[@rheinerftvideo2647]

Really amazing cars. Some of them built and still well known over here in Germany. "Sorry Elvis Presley, I´m not with you on that customized car". Totally agree with you on 1970ies tastelessness :-) If someone is travelling Germany , don´t miss "ps-speicher (dot) de" in Einbeck. It´s near to Hannover. Cheers, Bernd

[@jarthurs]

The Fanomobile looks like the forerunner to the Creepy Coupe from Wacky Races!

[@bennyhannover9361]

Jay Leno owns also a Panhard which is from 1962 and is equipped with an 2 cylinder 850 cc engine producing 50 hp. Panhard won in 1960 the Rallye Monte Carlo averaging 6 litres of fuel on 63 miles with about 66 miles averaging in speed per hour. So it won both indexes. Afterwards Prince Rainier of Monaco used one of these Panhard PL17s as privat transportation for over 20 years when it fell nearly apart.

[@sirmugman]

what a cool place! must go there before it closes and sells off the cars, also i think you and jay should meet up, take twc he'll be fine might have to drain him of liqwids but he'll be okay as luggage, lol

[@ssilvaxxx22]

That skyline 😦

[@jrgenp.nielsen1243]

Great vid, Ian. 👍 I Don`t understand those two persons, whitch did not like it. 🤔🤔

[@wanderinggentile]

The white four-door Toyota was a Corona, which was the first successful Toyota car model in North America. The Carina was originally (I think) a relative of the mark 2 Corolla.

[@CaptHollister]

The white coupé with sliding doors next to the Studebaker is a Kaiser Darrin.

[@mattw8332]

6:08 it is a Toyota Corona. I had to go to wikipedia to double check. The Carina was introduced in 1970, model number A10-A30.

[@stephenscholes4758]

Referred to as a "Shovelnose" here in Australia, perhaps other places too. Our Landlord had one in the 1980's...there was a stockpile of it's old engines behind the shed. Still remember it's Victorian rego too (JUF 615) how's that?

[@KarlAdamsAudio]

5:51 - still trying to figure out whether the Honda Coupe is an S600 or 800 (based on a brief glimpse of the tail lights I'd take a punt on it being an S800, but far from certain).

[@davidfarmer2049]

1:29 Coronet (botved boats) made some pretty motor cruiser over in dEnmark in the 70s. Now VERY collectible/well thought of/sought after. Same company?

[@welshman64]

The little red and white 2cv,best car there, whose car is it I wonder.🚗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@northof-62]

Bugger! Last summer we spent a week in the Hague and managed to miss out on that. Have to revisit now. Btw - I wonder what make is the old black 4-door behind the Corona at 06:10 ?

[@lakak4056]

I like the treatment of the Prius! All Prius's should be done that way!!! It might be Prii? Not sure what the plural of Prius is or how to spell it?

[@bennyhannover9361]

at 5:53 there is an 1964 Honda S 600 Coupe and a police version of an 1956 Renault 4 CV ´, an 1976 Suzuki Cervo and a white N.S.U. Prinz 4 from 1968.

[@colinp2238]

The best thing about the old cars are the big headlamps and the running boards. Addendum: Has Elvis's car got a burger bar in it?

[@bennyhannover9361]

at 6:09 there is also an MG TC or TA ? and a Triumph Renown Limousine in front of a bimotor Citroen 2CV Sahara it has twice 18 hp from twice 425 cc !!

[@philhealey449]

Seeing in the background of star machinery here possibly a Triumph Renown, if the chance crops up, hope in a future video we might get to experience a Triumph Mayflower. Clearly a vicious underdog of a car with vast pretentions; the family car Hyacynth Bouquet would have known in her childhood?

[@theothertonydutch]

The original Spykers are from the early 20st century: "In 1903 the Spyker 60 HP was the world's first four-wheel drive race-car, featuring the first application of a six-cylinder engine, as well as the first four-wheel braking system." Pretty neat!

[@HubNut]

Oh yes. I saw that car but didn't film it. I could barely walk by that point!

[@theothertonydutch]

@@HubNut Oh well, all the reason for me to visit, eh?

[@aaronchamberssaabfan7397]

Mmmm that SAAB 93

[@davidfarmer2049]

My teacher had a daff back in the early 70s.

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Hmmm. My teacher had a _duff_ back in the early 70s. But that's cos she fell off a wall when she was younger. lol!
