It"s Halloween. A night upon which it"s considered entirely acceptable to carve faces into vegetables and offer strange children sweets. But there are more unusual things afoot. Mainly in this German"s back yardMost people think Michael Fr hlich, a classic car dealer from Dusseldorf, is a bit mental. Which is perfectly reasonable. He looks like a cross between Uri Geller and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tanned, smiling and self-assured, he"s in the classic car business for decades. <br />The man"s a collector himself too, but not as we know it. His daily driver gives a hint to his perversion - it" a fire-damaged Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with a new drivetrain and suspension setup, but the body still wears its, umm, "patina".<br /><br />Words: Jeroen Booij<br />Photography: Arno Lingerak
