Preview (beginning of the article)
Richard Romagny is a doer, as he proved in his job, developing the company "Forges et Mécaniques de la Loire" from 18 to 400 people between 1992 and 2006. In the nineties, he discovered his love of long-distance 4x4 rallies and took part in the Paris-Dakar Rally three times himself, alone, without a co-driver. After selling his company in 2006, Romagny began collecting the cars that had shaped his childhood and youth, including the vehicles driven by his father as well as his own first car (a Simca 1100 ti). He then added many interesting French cars from the sixties to the nineties, as well as a few other rarities on two and four wheels.
