Is this $1.5 BILLION car collection the greatest on earth? // The Loh Collection

[@The_Juan_Percent]

What's remarkable is the fact that there are no crowds, you can actually photograph and properly document the cars. Thank you for the tour.

[@stanceworks]

And we were there during normal business hours! What you see is a normal Thursday afternoon. :)

[@Raptor58559]

Oh wow! I thought that you had a deal that they are blocking off areas for you to film. Now it’s even more of a thing to look forward to if it’s that empty.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Not only that but nothing is roped off or has any barriers. You could walk right up to many of them!

[@maxmustermann9669]

The Museum is not located near a big city - so you can't expect a lot of walk-in tourists there. Good for the real petrol heads.

When the wrapper is as good as the candy. What a cool building/architecture/ layout/design.

[@Chillymac1970]

Since they had a focused Opel collection. If you noticed the Opel Ascona in a wall unit, i thought i saw an Opel Manta as well. The Ascona is like the Chevy Nova and the Manta like the Camaro. Both were built on the same chassis. One sportier, the other a family car. Whats interesting is this chassis is also the same chassis used under the Chevy Chevette. I built multiple Manta's while stationed in Germany. They were extremely fun, especially on the autobahn. What a great video, thanks!

[@colinsmith7385]

Yes, a Group B Opel Ascona 400 and the Opel Manta 400

[@arjenwennekes]

Went there this spring with my son, on our annual roadtrip-weekend. Beautiful Collection in a remarkable building. We live an hour away from the region Sauerland, where the Museum is located; when you go there, be sure to combine it with a tour in the surroundings. Very pretty. Nice to see the host of one of the channels I follow go there👍🏻 Fun video !

[@wholespeed]

Hell yeah Mike! I love the Hamilton comment. Lewis winning another championship in a Ferrari would be epic. Thanks for taking us on this tour. Very cool.

[@dailydriven991]

I’ve heard of the place but have never seen a tour. Simply astonishing. The reverent filmmaking combined with the industrial, almost steampunk backdrop for all those cars is magnificent.

Very well made film, good job. Nice slow shots of detail, good editing, good clear commentary. Fascinating.

You are not the odd man out on the 190. That is my favorite car, with the Evo II a close second. I have a couple German friends who have mentioned this place as somewhere we need to visit when I eventually make the trip over there, and now I see why. That looks like heaven.

I can absolutely get on board with the 412P being the most beautiful car ever built. My personal choice is the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 which doesn't look too dissimilar to the 412P . Thanks for uploading such a cool collection, even though you did murder the pronunciation of Vignale and Tyrrell 😂 but still a very cool video Mike

[@larryboy8821]

That's so funny to hear your perspective on the 190. 1982, I was 11 and had just finished putting tires on a 450SEL 6.9 and a customer pulled up in a 190E. I hadn't seen one before and it looked like the cheapest pile of junk I'd ever seen. 😅 They grew on me over the years, but that first one was a shock.

I`ve visited the Loh collection a few weeks ago. It's acutually such a beautiful place, made with so much love and everyone is super friendly! If you are in the region definitely go and take a look! But I have to say the most beautiful car was the Ferrari 250 GT swb in black and the german stripes, it is parked in the Ferrari collection across the big 5.

[@creato938]

The Ferrari F2004 and the Maybach Exelero alone would make this place worth visiting for me.

[@NullUnit2]

It's wild how some shots make it look like a diecast car collection, the scale of everything is mental

[@protodad1]

Unbelievable collection. Definitely worth considering a trip just for this. I assume you’ve been to the Peterson and the Nethercutt? The vault at the Peterson is somewhat the opposite of this collection. Unbelievable mix of cars just in an underground parking garage, parked door to door with zero guardrails or displays. We went during Le Mans a few years ago and they had a 250GTO just sitting in the aisle way. As they told the story about Ickx walking to his GT40 and then winning that year, they pointed out the GT40 10 feet away. “Ickx went on to win after his protest in a GT40. This GT40” We walked past cars I’d only ever seen in magazines without even stoping to look at them as they just had row after row of unbelievable cars.

[@Spooky-ek3kf]

This collection is owned by Friedhelm Loh a German industrialist who was given an electrical startup company in 1961 by his father Rudolf Loh. Rudolf Loh was a Nazi who served in WWII and was in both the western front fighting against the US Army and later transferrred to the Eastern front where he was wounded in battle against the Soviets. After recovering from his wounds he was assigned to Peenemunde where he worked on the Nazi nuclear program as well as the control systems for the V2 rocket. There are unanswered questions about the source of his financing which allowed him to begin a manufacturing business immediately after the end of the war at which time Germany was totally devastated and most people struggled to find food.
