Luggage to Fit Your Classic

After you’ve finished restoring your vintage sportscar, after you’ve accessorized it in period options, after you’ve carefully placed your “Last Open Road” decal on the rear window, you’re ebay searches are likely to turn to some of the rarer accessories for your ride; the factory luggage. Manufacturers continue the tradition today and everyone from Ferrari to Porsche to Mercedes offers, at prices to match the cars, custom luggage designed to fit precisely in the diminutive trunk.

Don’t fret if you can’t find the original Triumph dealer bag to fit under the bonnet of your TR3. Austrian specialty luggage maker Jochen 70 has released a line of bags designed to fit in your classic, and look appropriate doing it. You can even order with your choice of colored racing stripes to match your livery. Following in the tradition of specialty motoring luggage, sadly, is the expense. Their launch bag, available only to participants of this year’s Mille Miglia and customized with the driver’s name and car number, are available for €1,000. Yeesh.

Let’s hope the expense is simply the Mille Miglia Driver tax and that once the final line is available, it’ll be so at a variety of price points.

Hi, I have been given a Jochen70 multi-bag.
It´s black with tan stripe.
Jochen70 embossed on the front, and also on the gold/cream coloured lining. It just yells quality. The thing is I can´t drive, haven`t got a car. (more into flying)So I´m open to any offers for it. It´s brand spanking new with the dust bag.
There are only(from what I can gather) 750 bags made. For more info or photos, feel free to get in touch. Anita.

hello anita, where can i see the bag? cant find it on http:://www.jochen70.net the bags are looking good, may be I’m interested. what do you want ? the are no prices. greetings Corinne

hi corinne, The bags are not yet for sale on the jochen70 website. But I do know that the bag in the photo above is 1200 Euros. The bag I´m selling is the Multi-bag beauty. It´s really nice. I will take any offers. My husband said shouldn´t put my email address up for everyone to see. So I think if you are interested in this beautifull bag I could tell you my e-bay name, and you could do a “BUY IT NOW”. That way you could see lots of photos!! I´m based in Germany. Tell me what you think. Regards Anita
