Selling his collection?

I can't believe Millou is selling his collection. I have watched him build it (over the web) for years and it is stunning. I'd like to ask him why but for some reason can no loner post over there. Link:

Hi everyone!

Thank you for the nice comments and the support! I'm still here of course! The passion hasn't left (believe me), but I moved to Paris and the automobilia no longer made sense outside of the garage!

I've decided to keep the two SWB, part with the LWB and the Automobilia. Breaks my heart a bit, but I know it's time to move on....and that the collection will pass on to other passionate collectors!

A bit early to tell but I think I will purchase an older Porsche with the proceeds, we'll see!

I didn't forget about Pelican and posted a thread about the sale here:

The Milou Collection - Ladenburg Automobilia Auktion May 12th

All the best!

Thomas

Ah to dream. Perhaps better than reality...probably not...
