Graber Treffen in Wichtrach

On 13th September the Graber Friends met in Toffen to visit the Galerie Toffen and the Graber Sportgarage where a glittering array the finest classic cars are to be found. After a scenic drive in the Bern-Mittelland we descended into Wichtrach, the home of Graber, to find a TD21 cabriolet under restoration in the workshop where it was originally built. The restorer also worked there in the late 1960s. The car belongs to the Transport Museum in Lucerne which is funding the restoration of the car it has owned for many years.

After the Treffen we also visited the Swiss Car Register Archive in Safenwil. We met with Urs Ramseier and Dieter Steiger to discuss how best to celebrate the 2026 Centenary of Graber and the ongoing digitisation of all the accumulated information we all hold. We were pleased to receive a donation of some technical drawings held by Graber that originated from Alvis Limited in 1959 for TA14 and TD21 engine assembly stands.

Some cars have been added to the page Cars seeking new custodians including a Graber TD21.

An article in “Conrod”, the magazine of the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society, contained some perhaps surprising news of Alvis usage in the county, reproduced here with kind permission….
