    Begun in 1999 with a brand-new Lotus Elise, the collection now comprises around 55 vehicles of all makes and styles, purchased as and when opportunities arise. It includes some rare pieces, such as a 1955 Facel Vega FV, one of the three remaining, a 1936 Cord 812, very rare in our country, a 1926 Delage DISS, a 1963 Iso Rivolta IR340, an Alvis Speed 20, a unique factory prototype of the 25, an AC Aceca Bristol and even a 1990 Venturi Cup.<\/p>\n

    Even if Alfa Romeo cars are slightly more represented than Lotus, the brand embodied by Colin Chapman remains at the heart of the collection, with 5 emblematic models (Elite, Elan, Esprit Turbo, Elan M100, Elise 111S) and 3 models bearing the Lotus name: the famous Delorean DMC12 based on an Esprit chassis, the Jensen Healey with its Lotus 907 engine fitted to Esprit cars, and above all the Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 and its fabulous 5.7L, twin-shaft, full-aluminium V8.7L, twin-shaft and full aluminum, produced exclusively for this model between 1990 and 1995.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
