Classic Car Showroom- Lefkosia/Guzelyurt Road

I stopped off to have a look at the fine array of Classic/vintage cars in this showroom which is on the left hand side of the Lefkosia/Guzelyurt Road. Unfortunately there wasn't a soul around so we were limited to admiring them through the windows. As nice as it was to see them from a distance I would love to have gotten in for a closer look.
Does anybody know who this showroom belongs to as I might just be interested in one of the cars.
Many thanks

Been there myself and went around the back where they renovate the old cars.Luckily i was shown around the workshop and showroom,some very nice motors.The museum belongs to the owner of Near East Uni/Hospital and he collects them.I asked if any were for sale myself but unfortunately the answer was no as he is still adding to his collection.There's your answer

Thanks for that. I had an inkling it might be something to do with Near East as I understand they have a motor museum on their campus.
Does anybody know if that is correct and whereabouts it actually is.

Many thanks

Don't know about the campus, but certainly they have a few gorgeous classics dotted around the hospital!!

There is a superb motor museum on NEU campus. Everything from late 19th century vehicles to new Lambos and Ferraris.

Used to be 10tl to get in but last time we were there last year they were doubling the size of the place so do not know now. As for direction, there has never been any sign posts for some reason. Best I remember follow the route in towards the hospital, on left there is a place where lots of buses often parked. look out for an old red tractor, there entrance is behind that.

If you find the museum I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Coincidence!
Just eleven days ago, being taxied to Larnaca from Karsiyaka, we were taken via Guzelyurt rather than the "normal" Girne route, and I noticed/remarked on the showroom as we passed....
If I remember, I'll investigate next visit...
