Eclectic Mazda museum is a family affair

It’s usually premium brands that attract the most fervent fan bases, but one lifelong family of car addicts has set up its own museum in Germany for a very unusual collection indeed.

Walter Frey has been collecting Mazda cars since 1980, when he bought a Mazda Cosmo Sport — a rotary-engined sports coupe — while in the USA.

Along with his equally obsessed sons Joachim and Markus, the family also became one of the very first Mazda dealers in Germany — still operating three dealerships — and the trio has amassed an extraordinary collection of not only some of the rarest Mazdas, but some of the rarest cars ever sold.
