Koppens-Automatic (based in Bladel Holland) had 4 fully automatic gas-stations in the Netherlands in the 70s. 

Leo Koppens was the first to develop the fully automatic self-service gas-station and in 1984 sold his empire for millions. In addition to selling equipment to automate gas stations he also expanded into car washing (Autowasser). This was the cabinet where you paid (coin-slot on the side) and where you chose hot-wax or such options. 

The internal workings have been removed and replaced with wood shelves and a handel added. 

This is a unique opportunity to own a rare piece of Dutch automotive history!
