Hidden in the hills of Scotts Valley, California, Canepa is more than a collection of rare automobiles. It's a place where motorsport history, engineering, design and preservation exist under one roof. From legendary race cars and iconic road cars to motorcycles, memorabilia and an active restoration workshop, nearly every corner offers something worth slowing down to appreciate. This photo series is a look inside Canepa through my lens — not simply as a collection of cars, but as a celebration of the details, machines and history that make the space so remarkable.

BEYOND THE MUSEUM

Busy auto workshop with several sports cars under repair, including red, orange, and black Ferraris.

Canepa is a working environment dedicated to the preservation, restoration and preparation of significant automobiles. Looking down into the workshop reveals another side of the experience — where automotive history continues to be maintained, rebuilt and kept alive.
