Some of the models in the collection:

VW T1
The automaker Volkswagen began selling the VW “Bulli” T1 in 1967 and produced a total of 4.8 million units until the model changed to the T2 in 1979. It was used for both commercial and personal purposes and has also gone down in history as a vehicle of the hippie movement.

Of course, the legendary “Trabbi” as a car model should not be left behind in the collector’s edition.

Trabant 601
“Trabbi” is THE classic of the GDR (German Democratic Republic). The average age of this car is at least 28 years.

Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a true classic of the 1950s roadster: synonymous with elegance and speed. More than 25,000 younger brothers 300 SL sold. At that time, two seats became the benchmark in terms of workmanship, quality, and driving pleasure. However, this is also reflected in the sales price, which, depending on the equipment, is significantly higher than the Porsche 356 to 20,000 DM.

Porsche 356 B
The Porsche 356 marked the beginning of the German premium and sports car brand and was the first production vehicle made by Porsche from 1955. With the B variant model, which came to the market from 1959, Porsche offered a comprehensively revised variant that looked even more elegant. and modernity of the A model. The foundation for Porsche’s worldwide success has been laid.

Mini Cooper
Small, economical and very British: With the Mini, the Austin Motor Company succeeded in creating the first real city highway in 1959. In 2000, the Mini was built more than five million times. Since the relaunch of the traditional British brand under the BMW Group umbrella in 2001, successors to the original Mini have come our way.

Mercedes Benz G Class
Co-developed with Austria’s Steyr-Daimler-Puch, the G-Class has been in production since 1979 and is valued worldwide as an all-terrain vehicle for civilian and military use. Its rugged character and clear angular appearance make the G-Class a true all-wheel drive icon. But the G-Class also made history as a convertible to the Popemobile – a product built especially for Pope.
