Gallery Aaldering and Interflon: a classic partnership
A passion for perfection
On the outskirts of Brummen, a small town in the Netherlands, lies the remarkable company ‘Gallery Aaldering’. The name suggests an art dealer, and in many ways this specialist in high-end classic cars is exactly that. Before any vehicle takes its place in the showroom as a gleaming work of art, extensive work has taken place in the workshops to restore each car to optimal condition, both aesthetically and mechanically.
Aaldering has been a true family business since 1975, buying and selling classic and vintage cars with genuine dedication. Across four floors, around 350 vehicles are on display, while a Grand Café and dedicated spaces for business events complete the experience. In total, the company maintains a stock of approximately 450 cars, each with its own story, history and distinctive character.
Jerry Trentelman fine-tuning a classic car component. Precision and experience are essential to restore original performance.
At the same time, this complexity is precisely what makes the work engaging. Trentelman continues: “During repairs, you might be working with a handful of small rings, springs and pawls that need to be assembled into a functioning switch. It takes considerable experience to fully understand different makes and models. Based on my own experience, I can often ‘feel’ with my elbow how to fine-tune a specific engine or component under the bonnet. There’s no software support here. And if a part is no longer available and cannot be sourced anywhere, I simply make it myself.”
Interflon
Aaldering expects the same level of expertise and specialization from its suppliers of parts and consumables. “We use standard Interflon products such as the universal grease Interflon Fin Grease for general lubrication applications, and the dry lubricant Interflon Fin Super, which penetrates even hard-to-reach areas to lubricate, clean and protect. For a specific challenge, Interflon also delivered a bespoke solution in the form of additives that enhanced the properties of standard engine oil exactly where required.” An ideal solution for a unique challenge.
