Malta Classic Car Collection
Triq it-Turisti, Malta, 1020
Boasting a collection of more than 100 classic cars and motorbikes, the Malta Classic Car Collection pays homage to a private collector’s love of vintage cars. Spend some time admiring models, ranging from Ford Thunderbirds and Triumph Spitfires to Fiats, then watch mechanics restore cars in the open workshop.
The Basics
The Malta Classic Car Collection is the brainchild of a private car enthusiast, Carol Galea, and is decorated with antiques, jukeboxes, and motoring memorabilia from the 1940s–1960s, to put the cars into their historical contexts. Highlights of the collection include a 1955 Jaguar C-type and a 1955 Fiat 500F. Information panels offer a wealth of information on different cars’ models and production runs and on the lengthy process of restoration.
