#PierreBardinon

Pierre Bardinon (1931–2012) was a French businessman and one of the most important Ferrari collectors of the twentieth century. An heir to the Chapal leather and fur business, he created at his Mas du Clos estate, near Aubusson in central France, an extraordinary private Ferrari collection centred especially on competition cars. In the 1960s he also built the Circuit du Mas du Clos beside the estate, allowing the cars to be used rather than merely displayed. His collection became so celebrated that Enzo Ferrari is often said to have regarded it as a Ferrari museum in its own right. Bardinon’s name remains closely associated with the preservation, use and appreciation of historic Ferraris, especially sports and racing models from the marque’s golden age.

We'll publish a biography on him on the occasion of his anniversary or when it will be reached a sufficient number of cars.
