"Good morning Steve, thank you for your message and best wishes to you. Was "off-line" over the past weeks.Did not progress with the Cantera. Was busy for a while with Tim Dutton as he had an interest in both the P1 and Cantera, but it…"

"Hi Hans, wishing you a Happy Christmas. Was thinking about the Cantera you have and wondering if you have made any progress on the restoration. Best wishes, Steve"

"Hi Hans, thanks for your reply. Thought I’d let you know that Tim Dutton is now about to start producing a new Dutton, it’s going to be an updated Phaeton. Best wishes, Steve"

"Hello Steve, thank you for the message. Sadly the Cantera is still waiting for its turn. Life and other cars kept me from doing anything with it thus far. The intention is still there :) Kind regards, Hans"

"Still looks pretty much the same as it did when I owned it, the rear window didn't open, and the black stripe is not there, the wheels look the same. Looking forward to seeing it when you have finished it. Good luck with it, glad it's…"

"Dear Stephen, I still own the car. Restoration was planned to start earlier this year, but Covid-19 got in the way. Could you help me with some more details about the car when you purchased it? Kind regards, Hans Sipkema"

"Hello Stephen, Saw your comment on the Cantera. I am still the owner of the car and it still resides with me in the Netherlands. She is parked in a nice dry location, awaiting her turn to be put back to her former glory.I would like to restore…"
