The Fate of the Sleeping Beauties
By Ard op de Weegh, Kay Hottendorff & Arnoud op de Weegh

In 1983 a series of photographs taken on a rural estate in France both fascinated and frustrated lovers of classic cars around the world. They showed a previously undiscovered collection of Bugattis, Lancias, Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, Cords and Aston Martins in various states of neglect. These cars became known as the 'Sleeping Beauties' and for the next 25 years little information emerged about their fate.

Now, at long last, the full story of this amazing collection is told in The Fate of the Sleeping Beauties by Ard op de Weegh, Kay Hottendorff and Arnoud op de Weegh. It took the authors three years of searching to discover what had happened to the cars and where others had tried before and given up, they carried on.

As well as solving one of the great mysteries of the classic car world, this book, which is now available in all good bookshops (or direct from Veloce Publishing at www.velocebooks.com) provides a fascinating insight into the histories of not only a great many priceless cars but into the motivation of Michel Dovaz himself. This is a book that will keep car enthusiasts and lovers of automotive history interested for hours and hours, and hours. As Jay Leno says in the interview at: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/extras/book-club/jays-book-club-the-fate-of-the-sleeping-beauties/ it's a book to keep by your bedside to dip into when you want to dream of making that perfect barn find.
