Visitors to the museum will be able to get acquainted with four of the rarest cars, part of the historical heritage preserved by the National Security Service.

“The flagship of the exhibition is the most valuable retro car in Bulgaria and one of the rarest Mercedes Benz models in the world – Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman Landolet. Only 26 of the six-door model shown were produced. The car was used for representative needs - a number of state and government leaders were welcomed with it, including Leonid Brezhnev, Nicolae Ceausescu, Kim Il Sung, Muammar Gaddafi and other popular personalities from the recent past“, the organizers say.

According to the team, the exhibition also presents the legends of the Soviet automobile industry GAZ-13 and GAZ-14 "Seagull", as well as one of the rarest collector cars ZIL-115, produced in the period from 1978 to 1983 in just over 100 pieces.

The ZIL-115 model enjoys the reputation of the fastest and most prestigious representative car created by the Soviet auto industry.
