About this audio guide
This guide to Autoworld in Brussels follows Ghislain Mahy, a mechanic who bought a battered old Ford in 1944 and spent decades hunting down rusting, forgotten cars nobody else wanted, including obscure Belgian marques like Minerva and Imperia. It traces how his sons joined the hunt, the exhibition hall's earlier life hosting Belgium's motor shows, and how a fraction of his hoard came to fill this glass-and-steel building. Look for the machines rescued from barns and scrapyards along the way.
