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.

 

This is his personal tribute to the automobile industry – or as he used to put it – it’s a ‘living and growing collection that spans more than 50 years of motor manufacturing’

​

The museum has a huge variety of cars, ranging from cars like Jaguar E Type, Mercedes 190SL, Alfa Romeo, Lotus and various others. They have all been carefully restored and lovingly preserved.

​

There is a wealth of information contained inside our walls: dates, variants, production runs and even a little history about how some of the models came into our collection. We believe that every car tells a story and the ones inside the Malta Classic Car Museum certainly have a lot to say.

 

Since the unfortunate passing of Carol in 2021, his son, Mark Galea, and daughter, Mandy Buhagiar, have  joined as co-directors of the museum, continuing the family legacy with dedication and expertise.

​

While Mandy may not be a “petrolhead,” she plays a vital role in the museum’s success by managing the finance department with a keen business sense, continuing her father’s legacy from a strategic angle. As a co-founder of the AMIS Spa chain, she brings a wealth of entrepreneurial experience, blending her business acumen with her commitment to the family’s vision for the museum.

​

Mark, who shares his father’s deep passion for both modern and classic cars, has been heavily involved in the museum, following closely in his father’s footsteps. As a knowledgeable caretaker of the collection, Mark actively buys and sells classic cars, constantly seeking to enhance and expand the museum’s offerings. His talents don’t stop there, Mark is also an internationally recognized racing and stunt driver. As a key member of Team Maximum Lock, a renowned precision driving team, Mark performs thrilling driving displays worldwide, showcasing his exceptional skill and love for precision driving.

​

Mark is also co-founder and director of Prospeed Parts (PRO-S). Established in 2013, PRO-S has built a strong reputation with its own line of high-quality fittings and universal racing parts. The company boasts a Race Shop, a large professional workshop, and a Vehicle Roadworthiness Station, making it a trusted hub for racing and performance needs.
