Magnificent setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

German industrialist Friedhelm Loh is making his mark on the European classic car scene by opening up his car (and racing car) collection to the public. In a no-expenses-spared approach, The Loh Collection<\/a> has built up magnificent premises in an old industrial setting. With an old movie theatre, two restaurants and a lot of attention for historic documentation and parts like engines or designer\u2019s scale models, you get a complete picture. Next to that, there are research and educational programs, with university support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Mans expo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Loh Collection is based in Dietzh\u00f6lztal, around an hour and a half\u2019s drive east of Cologne. The museum has already attracted over 30,000 visitors since it opened for the public in July. You can expect to see around 150 cars, and there will be different exposition themes per year. At the moment, the Loh Collection features a Le Mans expo as well, coinciding with this year\u2019s centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedhelm Loh said: \u201cThis is a very special award for us. It demonstrates that we have created something unique with our work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
