How time flies - been there at the opening in summer last year but didn’t get around to posting pictures of it so far 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nationales Automuseum- the Loh Collection is a part of the private collection of German industrialist Friedhelm Loh, accumulated since the 1980s. One of the world’s prime collectors of Bugatti, his collection has expanded over time to various areas and themes and finally he decided to make it more broadly accessible in the form of a museum.

Located in Dietzhölztal about an hour’s drive away from Frankfurt, it’s truly worth a visit, if you find yourself in the area. When I visited there was a LeMans theme but there is a large main collection always on display with some exhibits coming and going.

So here a selection of shots for your enjoyment.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Mercedes-Benz '6.3' designation is often a misnomer; while some models like the W100 600 did feature a 6.3L engine, later '63' badged models, such as those with a 4.0L engine, use the number for marketing rather than literal displacement. The original 6.3L engine was actually 6.2L.
The collection features an Aston Martin DB4, prominently displayed on an elevator, which caught the immediate attention of forum members.
The comprehensive display of vehicles makes the Loh Collection a highly recommended destination for car enthusiasts.

These are pretty much self-explanatory 😄. Yes, I likewise instantly noticed the DB4 on the elevator in the last picture....
