Canepa is a must-visit destination for motorsport enthusiasts. Upon entering, visitors are greeted in a friendly manner and encouraged to explore the free admission museum on the first floor, which houses a remarkable collection of rare Porsches that would make the Porsche Museum envious. The museum features an original 917K in Gulf colors, as well as a variety of other iconic models such as the 908 and 910. The service at Canepa is consistently praised as incredibly good, with the staff described as friendly, professional, and extremely competent. Visitors' questions are answered immediately, and their concerns are addressed to their complete satisfaction. The museum is a true treat, with the shop area allowing visitors to observe the cars being worked on, which is equally fascinating. While the showroom was closed for building work on one occasion, this was a minor inconvenience, as the overall experience is nothing short of amazing. Canepa is an exceptional place for car enthusiasts, offering a free and up-close look at some of the rarest and most beautiful vehicles in the world. Whether you're a passionate motorsport fan or simply appreciate fine automobiles, Canepa is a must-visit destination.
