Amazing, I’ll definitely have to bookmark this place as high priority
to visit whenever I plan a vacation trip to Europe.

Mr.Mahy..., now, after you've told the name, I'm sure, that somewhere I'd read something about this man and his collection.
I think, he started to collect decades ago, when he got the cars for a few Francs and the sellers have loughed about him, what he wants do do with the old scrab.

Isn't one of the buildings, where he stored the cars -the museum itself?- also some special architecture, built in l'Art de Jeunesse or one of the first parking-houses or so?

Autoworld is one of the biggest collections in Europe. I think there are about 300 cars there. Mr Mahy who started collecting cars had at one point almost 1000 cars. There is a large warehouse somewhere in Belgium which has few hundreds cars waiting for restoration (I once saw pictures of this place).

Like Antoine says most of the cars are pre-WWII and if you like them it is a must-see place. The building alone is worth seeing and there is also a car book store inside the premises.

Hard to make an estimation, I'd say 100-200 but I may be wrong.

Love the light Blue BMW ... :love: (pictured under the Audi Prototype)

How many cars do they have in their facility? Looks like a lot.

The other ? is a 1952 Hotchkiss-Grégoire, I think.

Ingo > it is probably not worth doing the trip just for that, but it may be interesting to visit it if you visit the area anyway.
Note that most of the cars are pre-WW2. So I do not recommend it if you are more into newer cars (like me - it was good that it was free due to the ticket that I had from the autosalon visited in January).
I took pictures only of the Belgian ones and of a very large part of the post-WW2 that were there.

Very nice pics Antoine and of course very nice cars as well, shame that the Eldorado wasn't in a very good shape.

The unkwon car unter the SM ist an Auto Union 1000 SP Cabriolet.
The four rings on the grille are missing.
Is a longer trip worth, to visit the museum? I have a bit the impression, that not all cars are in best condition.
