The physical shop serves collectors and gift shoppers with a concentrated retail space and knowledgeable owner contact; check opening hours (Tue–Fri 14:00–18:30, Sat 11:00–16:30) before visiting.

• Option to order unusual items through the store’s website for international delivery.

• Local directory listings under “Car43” / “Car 43” matching the same address.
