ABCspecialist at InterClassics
This year, we were proud to participate as part of the V12 celebration — bringing forward our technical experience with Mercedes-Benz Active Body Control (ABC) suspension systems.
Our stand featured:
• a highlight on ABC components young & oldtimers
• our remanufactured and new car parts
• live technical Q&A with our team
• goodie bags, giveaways and champagne!
Throughout the weekend, we met hundreds of enthusiasts, workshop owners, collectors, and technical specialists who shared the same passion for precision engineering.
Spotlight: Bentley GT 6.0 W12
Even though the show focused heavily on V12 engines, we decided to bring a special car to Brussels — our Bentley Continental GT Speed, powered by the incredible 6.0L W12 engine.
This wasn’t just a display car — it was a perfect example of what modern, high-density engine architecture can achieve:
• Compact 12-cylinder layout
• Two VR6 engines combined into a “W” shape
• 6.0-liter displacement
• Remarkably smooth power delivery
• Immense torque at low RPM
• European engineering heritage
The difference between the W12 and V12 sparked countless conversations at our stand. The Bentley allowed visitors to understand where engineering has evolved — from classic long-block V12 layouts to compact, high-output W engines.
Having the Bentley on display felt like a meeting point between tradition and innovation — one that perfectly reflected the theme of the expo.
Conversations That Matter
What stood out for us wasn’t just the cars — but the people.
The interest in high-quality rebuilt components was overwhelming — especially because many owners struggle with availability, cost, and reliability of original suspension parts.
Our approach — remanufactured in the Netherlands, tested and shipped worldwide — felt like a fresh solution for many international customers.
Thank You — And What’s Next
InterClassics Brussels was the perfect way to close this year, and we want to thank everyone who visited our stand, asked questions, shared their knowledge, and showed so much passion for iconic engines and hydraulic suspension technology.
Meeting so many enthusiasts, collectors, and workshops from across West-Europe reminded us what drives our work: keeping rare, special cars on the road with the right parts, rebuilt with care in the Netherlands.
Your interest motivates us to go further.
In the coming months, we will:
• share more technical content and repair insights
• strengthen our network of workshops
• offer more special promotions for our community
Thank you for your trust.
We’re already looking forward to seeing you again at the next edition.
