Visited the local "Meilenwerk" today, for the first time. If you like classic cars this is THE place to go for sure.

1. for the U.S. crowd

Please note this is NOT a museum, but a cooperation of companies specialized in classic vehicles and their maintenance. They also provide accurate shelter (those behind glass) for privat owners. Remarkable places! The pictures are dark, because of very dimm light in there to help the preservation of these beauties!

That´s what the place looks like. Great architecture, too (it´s an old train depot)!

Great stuff Alex!:applause:
I love those Abarths and the 3500GT Maserati is one I've always lusted after.
You're so right about that Alfa, a little patina of age makes a car seem so authentic.

Next time I am in Berlin the local meilenwerk is on my list to visit.
IIRC The guy that plays keyboards for Rammstein is one of the founders?

IIRC The guy that plays keyboards for Rammstein is one of the founders?Don´t now, could be, but I´couldn´t find any information yet...

It´s well woth a visit, your nearest location otherwise would be Duesseldorf;-)
The fun thing is the collection changes permanently, cause these cars are all privately owned! So I will take a look there from time to time!
