Exclusive viewing - private collection of cars in Malta

Cars in Malta! We had the chance to see a private collection of cars in Malta. We didn't have any special expectations beforehand but... wow! Over 100 original cars such as Mercedes 59, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Cadillac, Jaguar and many more. Join us and check out the amazing cars in Malta! This collection is not open to the public, but we do show a bunch of photos - and Peter has also put together a film.

Private collector of cars in Malta

The man who collects cars in Malta is called Leo and runs one of Malta's largest bus companies. He collects cars as a hobby and the collection is not open to the public. He usually goes by himself and maybe brings some friends. Sometimes he invites private individuals or journalists who have shown great interest in the collection.

The collection is located behind an ordinary garage door in an ordinary neighbourhood. It's really impossible to imagine what will be on the other side of the grey door... Even our guide, who has been guiding in Malta for 12 years and before that worked for a long time in museums, had no idea that this exhibition existed. He had been instructed by Visit Malta to bring us here, and we wandered around for quite a while before we found the right place ... but eventually we did!

Privat samling av bilar — Our guide Clive, collection owners Leo and Peter. The car (a Morgan) is special order, with a 6 year wait, and the chassis is wooden. The car has not been driven a single mile ...

Parkering för jaguarer — The sign is quite clear ...

Peter has started filming more and more, and filmed some sequences inside the collection of cars in Malta. Now he has put together both film clips and images into a film that takes you inside the exhibition. If you like cars: watch and enjoy!

I'm not particularly 'car crazy', but I do find the old gems delicious, especially when they're this well looked after.
But a customised Morgan that hasn't been driven a single mile? I'd love to drive around in that. On the other hand, it would be pretty nerve-wracking to drive it around in traffic. Not to mention parking and leaving it for a while.

Wow... What a collection! Nowadays I think all cars look pretty much the same, cast in the same mould. But those? Wow!

And I am probably most impressed with the garage. I feel that I must immediately go and buy some gold mirrors and other things for our garage 😀.

Was a nice collection. What appealed to me was that there were everyday cars in the collection as well.

I'm not a car enthusiast but I think the special order silver car with a wooden chassis is nice

Great rides!
Agree with Ama - some gold-framed mirrors are not bad in the garage.
Different arrangement of 'Fur Elise'.
After the film there will be a whole box of TRUMP adverts ??????

Wow I say too, what cars he has, fantastic specimens. Does he drive any of the cars? Morgan was delicious and the white Mercedes. I myself have had a Corvette, gold-coloured, it was the drag in I want to promise hihihi

Deciree, really eye candy! 🙂

Husisblog, indeed! 🙂

Lennart, I didn't know that there was a small collection there.

Steve, we're not really car crazy either. But when I saw this collection, I got a little car crazy anyway, haha 😉.

Ama de casa, maybe some gold mirrors would be nice ... too bad we don't have a garage 😉.

Nils-Åke, yes it is true. Nice old everyday cars 🙂

Lena & Jan, glad you liked the film! And no, he probably doesn't have to worry about retirement 😉.

Ditte, glad you liked the film! It's not easy to make a film, but we practice 😉.

The dream of travelling, isn't it?

Ruth in Virginia, Trump!? Aaaah...! We've uploaded the film via Youtube and maybe it comes with advertising "on the purchase"...? (But I don't really know how it works, I watched it myself now, but I didn't see any adverts? Maybe it is shown differently in the US than in Sweden?) Either way, it's very unintentional!!!

JoY, oh, gold-coloured corvette sounds luxurious! 🙂 I do not think he drives them actually... he is probably too afraid of them 😉 But he should drive a nice car of course!

Absolutely fantastic cars, so well preserved and one that is even never used more than to possibly look at and dust off a little now and then 😕 Real gems but I can't really understand why he has them hidden and does not like to show them to the public. It would give both the owner and the cars a very nice image and he could also charge for entry. But presumably that man has enough considering the gold mine he "hides" in the nice garage 😉 Nicely presented and plus for Peter who fixed it so that the rest of us could also take part in the whole thing on film 🙂.

Drool, drool! What a collection! Love it!
I mean ordering a Morgan with a 6 year wait is just such a thing! Oh I probably wouldn't drive a car with a wooden chassis either, especially on busy Malta. Just saying WOW!

Wow, not a bad car collection with Mc too!
I'll probably decorate the garage better perhaps 🙂 .

Take care....

My goodness what a collection! I'm not interested in cars - I thought!
How lucky that you got to see it and can show us! 🙂

Anita Malta, we also thought it was a shame that he doesn't show it. But I guess he has no financial need for it 😉 I think he is quite happy to show it when someone asks, but there are no public displays ...

BP, isn't that a cool collection? No, you probably wouldn't dare to drive around in that one 😉.

Rolle o Carina, haha, some garage interior design inspiration 😉.

Veiken, much like me, I didn't think I was particularly interested either, but was very fascinated! 🙂

Wow, what cars and also a created environment around them. I like looking at older cars, but don't want to own one myself. I appreciate the new modern ones more,

Travelmania, haha, maybe he was there 😉.

Matts, we probably also prefer to drive around in a new car, but it's fun to look at these nice things 🙂 ).

Christine's stories, I don't have a driving licence either 😉.
