About us
At Terrijn Classics, our focus revolves around our customers and their cars, which is the foundation from which we operate and the basis for all the decisions we make. Over the past years, we have paid close attention to our customers’ questions and needs, and what they are looking for. This has led us to develop a strong vision and discover what you truly miss in our industry. Our collective goal as a team is to assist enthusiasts in realizing their vintage car dreams, tailored to their preferences. We do this, among other things, by striving to create a reliable, professional, and modern environment where our customers are helped as honestly and transparently as possible. With a passion for vintage cars and a love for Mercedes-Benz.
Choosing to specialize in one brand and even in a few models within that brand is part of our vision. Through this specialization, we are very familiar with your cars, as we work on similar models in our workshop day in and day out. This enables us to address known issues preventively, deliver higher quality at a more attractive price, perform diagnoses more quickly, and so on. In short, we can support you much better and more efficiently in living with a Mercedes-Benz vintage car.
Furthermore, we are very aware that the quality of a company is an extension of the people who are part of it. That’s why we form a close-knit and passionate team that is ready for you and your car with enthusiasm every day. For this reason, we also think deeply about our approach in the workshop and our way of working. This way, we continue to improve ourselves and our results day by day.

Metal worker / coachbuilder
Jannis has been in the front row, following Terrijn Classics since day one. As Joren’s brother, he has witnessed every step of our journey so far.

In the workshop, Jannis excels in bodywork, general restoration work, and repairs. His talent shines brightly as he continues to explore and nurture his passion.
Michael De Ron

Michael is a genuine craftsman, overflowing with talent. He stumbled upon the art of car bodywork at the young age of 12, while working at his father’s truck company. Over the years, that discovery transformed into a deep-seated passion, one that is clearly evident in his work and results. With his extensive experience and grounded perspective on life, he imparts a wealth of wisdom to the team.
Joren Kuyls
Purchase advisor
Joren is possibly the biggest ‘car enthusiast’ on the entire team. Even as a child, he could name the make and model of every car he saw. In his role as a car salesman at Mercedes-Benz, he came to the realization that selling should actually be synonymous with helping people. With us, he dedicates himself wholeheartedly to finding the right cars for our customers, with the genuine goal of assisting them as best as possible in their choices.
Pierre Donadi

After a long career as an independent bicycle mechanic, Pierre embarked on a search for a new challenge.
