The renowned specialist in vascular surgery would rather be known as an expert on the Italian car brand Alfa Romeo. Since his childhood, he focused his interest on sports cars and especially on Alfa Romeo.
History and the production
Over the years, his work as curator of his own large classic car collection focused mainly on the history and production of Alfa Romeo. Through knowledge of the product history Axel Marx became a special collector and above all connoisseur.
Visits by appointment
The history of the collection (visit is possible by appointment at the address anthax-collection@bluewin.ch) is expressed in the prestigious, but above all the most important vehicles.
Among them, for example, the 6C 1500 from 1928 and the super-sporty 6C 1750 Gran Sport Brianza (1932), with which Axel Marx participated in historic Mille Miglia races.
Various 1900 Sprint and Super Sprint
Remarkable and unique in the world in this accumulation are the different versions of the 1900 Sprint and Super Sprint by the most important coachbuilders of the time such as Zagato, Touring, Pininfarina, Castagna, Worblaufen, Ghia-Aigle.
In addition, there are the versions of the Giulietta by Zagato, SZ "Coda Tronca" and "Coda Tonda" and the rare SVZ. Worth mentioning is the prototype "2000 Sportiva" of 1954 (there are two in the world, one is in the museum in Arese).
All known models of the brand
Breathtaking for visitors is undoubtedly the overall impression, the line-up of all the cars ever made by Alfa Romeo. This is possible only because of the special decision of the collector to import models produced abroad.
Unveiling of the new model GTAm
The celebration amid the collection "Anthax Collection Marx" and the history of the brand have made the unveiling of the new model GTAm even more exciting.
The premiere made visitors feel nostalgic in connection with the exhibition. The mechanics of the GTAm and the sound of the 540 hp engine amidst its predecessors bridged the gap between the past and the future.
