Thierry Plojoux

Hello, my name is Thierry Plojoux and I am very happy I have found this Hispano Suiza with the help of Ivo Smutny and his AVC Company. I have been looking for such a car for a long time. I own a boat after Mark Birkigt, it is a beautiful sailboat I sail every year and I was curious about how the Hispano Suiza car is driving. So I have searched for this car and finally found this beautiful Hispano thanks to Ivo. There is also one interesting fact - my grandfather was coachbuilder George Gangloff, who coachbuilt lot of vehicles including Hispano Suizas. So I knew many photos of such a cars already in childhood. Once again I would like to thank to Ivo and AVC for a help with this project, for a car that meets my dreams and which I will enjoy to drive for a long years I hope.

Thanks to AVC, who are with the technical skills and responsibilities the professionals regarding the classic cars, you can see in our collection the dream vehicles like Bugatti 44. I am looking forward to work with them and expand the collection with more amazing cars from the highest class.

I have had the enormous pleasure of dealing with Jaroslav and his colleagues AVC. They helped me reaquire my Rolls Royce 20HP Windovers Tourer, which I had unfortunately sold three years ago to fund a house purchase that never materialised. I deeply regretted the decision to part with my black tourer, realising that it was a unique model from that period, with an authentic patina and history which was impossible to find anywhere else in the world. Although I looked high and low for a similar model, none emerged. Amazingly I spotted my car for sale on their AVC website and immediately rang Jaroslav, who was extremely interested in my story and very willing to sell me the car and help me get it back to the UK. Despite the onset of the Corona Virus and the lockdowns that took place in both Prague and the United Kingdom, Jaroslav was very attentive to organising the safe transportation of the vehicle and getting it back home as quickly as was possible.

I have to say that both the sale and the service were impeccable and I was delighted to learn that whilst the Windover had been on its sojourn to the Czech Republic, AVC had both identified and repaired some minor problems with the car which meant that it now drives better than ever. I could not recommend AVC more highly, they are not just vintage car dealers of a well deserved repute, they are classic car enthusiasts who understand the love we invest in these mechanical works of art, because they share every ounce of our passion themselves. It would be difficult to think of a better commendation than that.!”

Searching for the car that I have already been dreaming of for a long time, I found "Auto Veteran Company". Since our first conversation I had a very good feeling and I was further enthused by their exhibition rooms that convey the feeling to be traveling back in a time in which values were still emphasized. I want to thank them very much for the pleasant discussions, competent advise, the smooth processing and especially for a taking such a big part in realizing of one of my biggest dreams. The car purchase in cooperation with "Auto Veteran Company" was truly an event and I can strongly recommend it to anyone else.

As the owner of this car I especially want thank Mr. Larry Eisner from San Francisco, in whose superb workshop the work was done and Mr. Ivo Smutny, owner of AVC from Prague who worked personally on the clutch and drove the H6 down to Peeble Beach in the early morning. Without them the car wouldn´t has been finished in time.
