One of my all time favorite museums! My sincere condolences to Peter’s family and friends…

The classic car world has lost a giant among men who will forever be missed.

I got to know Peter on a tour through England and he was a true gentleman. He always had great cars. The museum not only has cars, but fantastic art deco furniture, and artwork. Photo taken last month at his museum.

My wife Dale and I had the pleasure of meeting Peter some years ago. He gave us a personal tour of his fabulous collection, and to this day, the red Delahaye at the center of the room is still one of our favorites.

 

Of course the Lalique collection is amazing.

 

The restoration and storage area was equally exciting to both of us.

Later, one of his brothers joined us, as well several other visitors
