Huge classic car collection doubles as a pizzeria

There is a multi-million dollar private car collection stashed away at a farm in Ontario, Canada.

Tim Schmidt – who goes by the nickname HapyHipi – is a serious gearhead and has one of the coolest car collections to prove it.

His super-sized collection is housed in a special 3,716 square-meter (40,000sq-ft) facility that’s actually nicer than a lot of houses we’ve seen.

The collection is stuffed full of rare and classic cars, including a couple of McLarens, several Dodges, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The private car collection isn’t open to the public

We’ve seen plenty of envy-inducing private car collections, like this $100 million haul owned by Australian billionaire Laurence Escalante; and this whopper of a collection that’s packed with supercars.

This collection owned by Schmidt is similarly stocked with enough stunning vehicles to bring out the green-eyed monster in any car lover.

As it’s privately owned, the collection isn’t open to the public, but Schmidt does occasionally give tours to VIPs, alongside his pet pooch Hipster.

The team from the Guild’s Garage YouTube channel was recently invited for a tour of the collection – and, luckily for us – they filmed the whole thing.

It’s full of rare and classic cars

To greet his specially invited guests, Schmidt arrived on a golf cart designed to look like an old Corvette, which – bizarrely – isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like that.

He then took them on a tour of the unbelievable hoard of cars.

Highlights from the collection include a McLaren Senna and a P1; a first-generation Ford GT; more Lamborghinis than you could shake a stick at and several Mustangs.

He also has an interesting ‘all-white’ collection, featuring a white Dodge Hellcat Charger, a C7 Corvette, two Dodge Demons, and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The space isn’t just full of cars, Schmidt also has a large collection of motoring memorabilia including retired gas pumps and signing.

He even has a separate dedicated to Hot Wheels toys.

Can we come and visit, please?
