Citroën Traction Avant
The elegance of the great saloons of the 1950s. It is in the collection for its presence, and for the way it slows time down.
« It is never in a hurry, and that is what I like about it. »
My story
Vintage Cars Morocco was born of a collector’s love for automobiles that tell the story of their time, and of a simple conviction: a classic car should be driven.
I have never thought of myself as a collector. I simply love cars with a soul, and cannot bear to see them sleeping under a cover.
What I love is not a car’s value but what it makes you feel: the sound of an engine starting, the slender steering wheel in your hands, the way people look at you on the road.
— The collector
As so often, it began with a memory: a family car, the smell of leather and warm oil, an engine you recognise from afar. That memory became a curiosity, then a quest.
A first car arrived, then a second, chosen for their character more than their value. Little by little, a collection took shape: great British tourers, elegant German cars, small French and Italian ones, an American legend.
A classic car only makes sense on the road.
Every car is maintained to be driven, not just admired. An engine that runs is an engine that lives.
Mechanics, bodywork, upholstery: we restore with respect for the original, without excess, keeping what gives each car its character.
Weddings, film shoots, photoshoots: opening up the collection means keeping these cars alive and giving others the chance to discover them.
In chronological order: why each one found its place with us.
The elegance of the great saloons of the 1950s. It is in the collection for its presence, and for the way it slows time down.
« It is never in a hurry, and that is what I like about it. »
My storyA British coupé all in curves, chosen for its modest character and for a line that has lost none of its charm.
« An unpretentious little coupé that I immediately wanted to keep. »
My storyThe smallest in the collection, and one of the most endearing. With its hood folded back, it reminds us that the joy of driving needs no power.
« Impossible to look at it without smiling. »
My storyThe little post-war Renault: simple, round, likeable. It stands for the people’s car at its most tender.
« It reminds me of the cars of my childhood. »
My storyA classic car is never truly owned: you look after it so that it can go on telling its story.
The collector
An Italian suit on a German frame. We love its understated elegance and the story of two countries meeting.
« Italian by design, German by engineering: I like meetings of this kind. »
My storyThe American legend of the collection. Top down, it brings the energy of open roads and 1960s films.
« With the top down, it’s a different state of mind. »
My storyUnderstated, luminous, timeless: the Pagoda is German elegance in its purest form, and one of the cars most requested for weddings.
« I have never seen anyone remain indifferent in front of it. »
My storyThe little bright red roadster that lifts the mood. Light and lively, it takes you travelling with a smile.
« You drive it with a smile, inevitably. »
My storyThe car from the future: an avant-garde silhouette that still surprises. It has a place in every story.
« Every time I see it, I feel it has just arrived from tomorrow. »
My storyThe British roadster with a strong personality: a six-cylinder, tan leather upholstery and a sound you do not forget.
« You have to hear the six-cylinder once to understand. »
My storyThe people’s icon, recognisable among a thousand. Impossible to build a collection without it.
« A collection without a Beetle is not a collection. »
My storyLa dolce vita in miniature. Its canvas roof and petrol blue make it the star of every photograph.
« The most photogenic of the house. »
My storyThe sound of an engine starting is the finest music there is.
The collector
The most beautiful of British sports cars, here in V12 form. It is the car that turns heads wherever it goes.
« When it passes, everyone turns round. I never tire of it. »
My storyThe discreet chic of Turin: a thoroughbred, elegant coupé with a careful finish, rediscovered with pleasure on every journey.
« The kind of car you discover a little more on every journey. »
My storyThe roadster of a whole generation: simple, sincere, easy to love. It simply runs.
« Easy to live with, easy to love. »
My storyAn umbrella on four wheels, here as a two-tone convertible. The car of freedom and good humour.
« It taught me that a car does not need to be powerful to make you happy. »
My storyThese cars don’t really belong to me: they belong to those who pass them, drive them, photograph them. Each time one of them goes out for a wedding, a film shoot or a simple drive, I feel it is doing what it was made to do.
If you would like them to become part of your story, come and meet them. I look forward to welcoming you.
