Ammochostos Motor Museum, Ayia Napa
I wanted to have a chat before Andreas gave me a personal tour of the museum, so we met upstairs in the cafe and ice cream parlour, my delicious cappuccino brewed with 'Vittorio Coffee' pure Arabica from Brazil. I asked Andreas to tell me how it all started? He said, "It started as a hobby, I would find old cars, in Cyprus, mostly Fords, buy them and restore them myself, to showroom perfection, sometimes having to source spare parts from all over the world. Then he said, " Next thing you know, whenever my friends were selling a vintage or classic car, I would buy it".
