Research pending

A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.

Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.

A place in vehicle history

More than a set of wheels.

Sold new in 1912, this Eysink returned to its selling garage after an accident in 1917. Long storage and occasional public outings preceded its 1980s restoration and later museum display. The museum and marque club agree on the survivor but differ on total production and custody wording; neither disputed point is presented here as settled.

Look a little closer.

The club records the car appearing during Princess Juliana’s 1945 visit to Zeeland.

Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.

Survival came from storage and intermittent use

This Eysink did not arrive intact through continuous daily service. A crash brought it back to the selling garage, long storage protected it, and occasional ceremonial outings kept it more than a static relic. That sequence makes the car's custody history as important as its rare mechanical specification.

One survivor cannot silently represent every Eysink

The 10/12 HP is the only surviving automobile from a maker that produced many configurations and later concentrated on motorcycles. Its four-cylinder, restored 1912 form can anchor this exact profile, but it cannot prove the shapes or specifications of Eysink's lost prototypes, taxis or smaller cars.
