Hellenic Motor Museum - Greek Car Museum

Theodore N. Charagionis - Founder of the Hellenic Motor Museum, has a great interest in cars, especially old cars. His father's cars, were the resource persons the first getaway to my passion for driving, not always with his father's approval. In 1977, Pls his first child was born, He decided That Had he completed the first cycle of my participation in Competitions, so I turned to the collection of old cars.
Charagionis has criterias for his cars. The main criteria for selecting car models his childhood dreams were the resource persons. The first cars of the collection, were the resource persons a Maserati Mistral, a Rolls Royce Wraith, two E-type Jaguars, two Lancia Appia Zagato, Austin Healey 3000 two and three Dinos (one of Them a Ferrari). And then, with the number of cars increasing gradually and with difficulty because of the "poor" then Greek market, in the early 90's He had reached the 25 cars and started to think that I might be going over the top. So, He think to build a cars museum.
