    Jacques Swaters' Garage Francorchamps does not exist anymore. Started in 1952 and ended in 2004 when Ferrari SpA took over the official dealerships in Europe, since then the name of the official belgian Ferrari dealership changed to Francorchamps Motors Brussels at a new location in Waterloo (near Brussels).

    Jacques Swaters then started a Ferrari museum in the Garage Francorchamps building, but also the museum does not exist anymore.

    Best regards

    Als iemand een manier weet om nog oude facturen van die garage te kunnen bemachtigen houd ik mij aanbevolen, mijn F430 is door hun onderhouden geweest, maar heb maar 2 vd 3 facturen van de keren dat ie daar geweest is, zou graag de 3e er ook bij hebben....

    Heel wat boeken, documenten, facturen, contracten, enz. zijn destijds, na het heengaan van Swaters, in verschillende handen terecht gekomen. Als ik jou was zou ik eens terade gaan bij expert Marcel Massini, hier actief op Fchat.

    Als je Gregory Tuytens bedoelt, die werkt niet bij Sotheby's, wèl bij Bonhams.
