The Malta Classic Car Museum is a museum on the island state of Malta. [1] [2] The Classic Car Collection was the brainchild of obsessive petrol-head Mr. Carol Galea, an avid and self-confessed car enthusiast. He first began customising and building his own cars for local hill climbing races and but his hobby evolved into a full-blown passion for classic cars. The museum has a huge variety of cars, ranging from Jaguar E Type to a 1972 Fiat 500F. They have all been carefully restored and lovingly preserved. There is a wealth of information contained inside the museum: dates, variants, production runs and even a little history about how some of the models came into the collection.
