Passion for Cars / Cady Cars

Cady Cars (Passion for Cars) is a private collection and event space in Ypres showcasing more than 50 classic and prestige cars from marques like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar and Maserati. The collection sits alongside Mistral Classics, a restoration workshop that services and certifies vehicles.

Visits are by reservation and the venue also hosts private events and corporate hires across its 1,700 m² space. Contact Thierry or Laurent Dehaeck via the official site for bookings and enquiries.

A behind‑the‑scenes look at a private classic‑car collection with restored road cars and workshop presence.

Look out for:

• A varied permanent collection of 50+ classic and prestige cars, including rare Maserati and Citroën SM examples.

• Operational restoration workshop activity (Mistral Classics) visible at times.

• Venue features for events: large exhibition hall and separate meeting areas.

• Themed displays and occasional event setups rather than a formal museum layout.

Best way to experience it:

Book a guided visit or event slot in advance to see cars up close and, if available, coordinate a workshop tour or restoration overview with the hosts.

• Visits are generally by reservation; contact the listed organisers to arrange a visit.

• Address listings vary between Oostkaai 23A/4 and 23A/5; use the official site to confirm exact unit for arrivals.

• The site doubles as an event venue—expect occasional private hires or setups during visits.

• Restoration work is active on site; noise or restricted access to workshop areas is possible.
