Photo Gallery «(Almost) Frisch by Max Frisch: a Jaguar 420»
The Swiss writer Max Frisch loved his Jaguar 420. He drove it until almost the day he died, but two months before his death he gave it to the German director Volker Schlöndorff, who had it in his care for around 30 years. Now the filmmaker has also decided that it is time to pass on the car and has bequeathed it to the Lucerne Museum of Transport. The handover of the car is recounted in this report with lots of pictures.
