HSH the Prince of Monaco's Collection of Classic Cars

2011-06-22 11:57

Ah, the glory days of classic motoring. This superb collection, built around the private passion of Prince Rainier, is both a nostalgia trip and a corrective to all those who think of Monte Carlo cars only in terms of F1 or the latest limos.
