The very first car he acquired was a MG, soon followed by a Bentley Type Rtwo models that already set the tone for a collection defined by elegance and performance. In 2008, the museum opened its doors to the public, with rally driver Ari Vatanen and auctioneer Hervé Poulain in attendance.
The collection reflects a rare diversity: Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, as well as Facel Vega and Alpine.
