This is the site of two automobile-enthousiastics, who are especially interested in Bugatti and other precious brands from just before or just after World War 2. They decided to write a book about it in which they describe the fate of the most precious cars of the collection and the real story behind the collection. In fact they rehabilitate Michel Dovaz. We did this with Kay Hottendorff.
After this successful cooperation we have investigated the Schlumpf affair. Yet it seems, that the Schlumpfs need rehabilitation, too. Investigating the affair it almost seems, that we open a slurry pit in which the French Government, the trade union, the French justice and the bourgeoisie of Mulhouse did not play a very nice and clean part. In 1999 the reserve collection of Fritz Schlumpf was given back to the Widow of Fritz, Arlette. We photographed this collection (Malmerspach Collection) before being sold after the dead of Arlette Schlumpf. There will also be a book about this history in some time.
We are interested in any kind of barn finds with cars older than 50 years. At the moment we are investigating a barn find like that with at least 65 cars older than 50 years in France.
We like to share our knowledge and our experience. And we like to share our love for fantastic and beautiful cars out of a time, that creating a car was still art.
