Tonny's Classic Drive – Rent an Oldtimer in Groningen

From Financial Advice to Nostalgic Rides

Tonny’s Classic Drive Opens Its Doors in Groningen

Groningen, May 26, 2025 – What do you do after years in the financial world when you decide it’s time for a complete change? For Anton Daleman, former financial advisor, the answer was simple: follow his heart. He founded Tonny’s Classic Drive, a unique classic car rental business in Groningen. Officially opened on May 1, 2025, and located on the Groningerweg.

A Citroën, a Barn, and a Dream

The idea sparked during the COVID-19 period when Anton bought a Citroën DS – affectionately known as the ‘Snoek’ – at an online auction. It marked the beginning of a new adventure. Today, an old potato barn has been transformed into a stylish garage filled with characterful classics.

Passion Meets Professionalism

From obtaining a trailer license to completing a hospitality certification – every detail is in place to provide guests with a warm and safe experience. The Tonny’s Classic Drive team is ready to turn every ride into a celebration, including:

• Themed routes & historical tours
• Puzzle rallies for groups and businesses
• Well-stocked picnic baskets with local delights
• Professional aftermovies as lasting memories
