Cyprus Historic & Classic Motor Museum

The Basics

Inaugurated in 2014, the museum showcases the collection of Cypriote rally racer Dimi Mavropoulos. One of the most interesting cars in the collection is a Cadillac that was built for President Makarios III, though he never ended up using it. The custom car features bulletproof windows and has a specially-designed air-conditioning system that blocks poisonous gasses. The museum also houses a Rover that used to belong to Margaret Thatcher and an Austen Mini once featured in an episode ofMr. Bean.
