Henk van Veen was the Dutch importer of German [[Kreidlers]].  He took over the firm's race efforts and led the Van Veen Kreilders to a string of 50cc world championships in the 1970s.  An even more ambitious project was the Van Veen OCR1000, a luxurious rotary engined superbike.  Although fast and smooth, the OCR was more remarkable for being the most expensive roadster in the world during the late 1970s, and production was accordingly short-lived.
