I literally stumbled across this museum last year while in Hamburg. This small, modest place was hallowed ground for vintage VW, Porsche and German car fans. I have visited some of the best auto museums in the world, including the factory museums at Porsche, Mercedes and Ferrari, and this (in my humble opinion) is one [...]
