Today I have visited the most awesome and crazy hidden car collection on this planet... I’m still shaking thinking about it, knowing that this has been completely hidden from the public eye for decades. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maserati, Alpine, Alfas, Lotus, Porsche.... you name it. Over 200 cars in total. And I can’t really talk about it... I can’t post pictures of them, I can’t tell where they are... a few of those cars aren’t even supposed to exist anymore. RHHAAAA that’s hard haha :)

Worst is that this is just PART of the owner’s collection... He has many more and he invited me and a friend to come back for a much longer and detailed visit... Most surreal day I’ve ever experienced in which a random grandpa ended up being a bigger car collector than Jay Leno... WTF.

Considering the millions and millions of dollar of his collection, I really can’t lol... and it’s just too frustrating haha.

Damn, much envy friend! At least tell me if there are many FIATs and Citroens to ease my conscience? :O

ALSO, more importantly.....does he DRIVE them or do they just sit there? :(

the ones there just sit... he has many more though... and from what I understood those can move. I’ll go check them another time. There was a couple Fiat and Citroen, but they were rusting out outside...

Sounds amazing. Hopefully they are bringing him and his family some kind of joy.

Can you at least post some of the highlights? I could give for some classic obscure euro car porn haha.

I don’T think his family cares that much haha... it’s his own crazy hobby. He also collects car stereos for some reasons...

It’s difficult really... Not for now at least. Later maybe.

When you have 200 cars, it’s tough to drive them all lol... He is more of a hoarder than a collector if I’m honest... He is passionnate with what he has, but having a Miura and a 275 GTC sitting in the same room for decades... That’s crazy :)

Cars are mint though. They just need a bit of work to be brought back on the road. Some are used as shelves... Protects from dust I guess haha

Keep in mind it’s a 275 GTC... Not a GTB... Not a GTB-C... a GTC... one of 3 full aluminium body competition car ever made... It’s just insane...

If he has a huge wall of stereos tied into speakers like an old showroom then he may be the coolest person ever.

Try with them parked into a Renault Express... An entire Renault Express filled with car stereos... That’s how weird he is :)
