Museum volante preview!

The black forest is well known for its immacular nature. Now between the mountains and the rhine valley, in Kirchzarten, the worlds first museum with a special collection of Vanvooren cars has opened its doors. Martin Waltz has collected a large number of Vanvooren coached cars over the last years and has now found a place to show the Rolls Royce, Delahaye, Bentley and Packards designed by Vanvooren to the public. With another collection of 1960s Bertone and Pininfarina designed italian thoroughbreds as the second main part of the exhibition, the museum shows a second highlight. Former sculpturist Martin Waltz has an eye for art and sculptures. The great "Mangusta" restaurant, which gave the preview opening ceremony the right touch with a mix of kitchen art, local charme and great quality in detail - offered an overwhelming dinner to the guests. Congratulations to Inge and Martin Waltz and the Mangusta team in the volante museum Kirchzarten!

Back from Goodwood Revival!

Three dry and mostly sunny days at Goodwood pleased all visitors - exhibitors and racers very much. My stand never seemed to have been empty whilst those magic three days, thanks to all friends and collectors. "VIP-Highlights" at my stand were the visits of Indycar winner Scott Dixon (see photo), Jo Ramirez and Gordon Murray at my stand. Looks like I will surely be back in 2016 at Chichester. Still a great event - unbeaten atmosphere of historic racing, when the packed grandstands applaud the racers. See you in 2016 !

12 Originals sold from Le Mans 24 Hours stand!

What a fantastic event. With 314.000 tickets sold to Endurance Racing fans visiting Le Mans 24 Hours, the number of visitors was overwhelming - also at our stand.

Gordon Murray visited my Le Mans stand. He now owns one of my original paintings, displaying one of his greatest car designs - the McLaren F1 GTR, that won Le Mans in 1995. No question - this makes me happy and proud.

Please read more about the original sales at Le Mans:

Geoff Hermel had already in April reserved the original called "Leaders of the Pack" for his walls . And unbelievably - the Porsche #19 and #17 were the leaders of this years 24 hours race - also in the final lap. Now Geoff owns a piece of history (see photos).

Other originals now will all be send out. The G-Drive Ligier original #553 goes to Mexico, the JOTA racing original #554 will be send to Monaco. A Bugatti Type 59 original is sold to Switzerland, the Dempsey Porsche #77 original goes to the Spyder sponsor in the US. The Red Baron original will be send to the UK - signed by all three Porsche drivers including Mark Webber. And also the Ferrari 330 P4, painting #487 is sold to the UK. Collector and friend Michael Weyman calls the ultimate Ferrari painting his own now. The Nissan Nismo LMP1 original will be send to Japan, to a manager of the main sponsor of the team. Finally the Viper legend, the Oreca in the hands of Justin Bell, winner at Le Mans in 1997 (#325) was sold directly from the stand - just like one of the highlights of this year: the High Street Boys, displaying all three Aston Martin V8s in their fantastic liveries. What an overwhelming result for me and my family.

Thank you for all your support and the patience you had with us during these magic days at Le Mans.

Chaque année un événement splendide - depuis 2007 je participe - j´aime l´atmosphère de Paris et la Retromobile beaucoup. 2015 etait superbe encore pour Dorrit et moi !

Le plus grandes surprises etait la visite de Frank Gausland de la Suède, qui est un grande collecteur aujord´hui. Depuis notre premier rencontre en 2010 une amitié a grandit. Une autre surprise etait un enthusiaste japonnais - il a commandé 10 grandes toiles. Il est pilote Porsche, et il a couru au Mans Classic plusierus fois. L´original du Matra (#489), avec Graham Hill en vitesse, vainqueur des 24 H 1972 est vendu a un ami et collecteur francais.

Inoubliable aussi le soirée "Cognac" sur mon stande avec Pascal et Francois, Hervé et Stéphanie ! Le joie de vie ! Merci les amis ! À la prochaine edition !
