De Selvera's (1954-1965) was a Dutch duo of two singing sisters, Mieke and Selma Jansen. Mieke's earlier stage name had been 'Vera' and a combination of the names Selma and Vera became 'Selvera's'. They also sang in German, English and in the Limburgish region language.
Above song 'The stage coach'/'De postkoets' (1957) was their biggest hit. They won a Platinum Album with it, the first ever in the Netherlands. In 1983 the pop band The Cats released an English cover of the song, which ment a comeback for them.
