A Cool European Car Collection From Bangkok, Thailand – PART 1
Perhaps it’s just human nature to admire rare things, but we often like stuff that isn’t common in our environment or not easily accessible. Perhaps it’s one of the reasons why Japanese anime cartoons, Italian fashion design and German cars have a strong community of fans in nearly all parts of the world.
We stumbled upon a small collection of incredibly clean and stylish European cars in the garage of Chet Sriprawatkun from Bangkok, Thailand, who was kind enough to tell us a few words about each of his beauties.
“Being a sophisticated car guy and a creative mind, he’s always looking for something different and doesn’t mind it being challenging. Like many of us, the main things that he appreciates about car modifications are the clean look and low stance.”
Just like a Hot Wheels collector he meticulously put together a solid collection of European cars from the 80s-90 and modified them with appropriate period-correct parts. All of his four vehicles boast elegant OEM+ styling, subtle modifications, lowered suspension and absolutely stunning custom wheels.
“While every car from this collection deserves a special feature on Eurolism.com, let’s go over the specs and brief information on mods and upgrades on each of them”
