background

Of the around 400 cars on display, around 300 are in poor condition. Most of the cars are over 50 years old. Most of the vehicles come from the United States , including two well-preserved hot rods . The collection includes a cross-section of makes from the USA and Europe (including the Soviet Union ), and some Japanese makes. Only around 100 vehicles are drivable.

Les Boshoff is the owner of the collection, which began with an interest in special vehicles and which steadily expanded with the increasing film production in South Africa. Vehicles for film productions are still being organized and prepared. The property is often rented out for photography.
