Renowned automotive collector and museum executive Peter Mullin died at the age of 82 on 18 September 2023.
Born on 14 January 1941, Peter was a car enthusiast from his early years as well as a self-made businessman, and he developed a particular taste for pre-war French Art Deco cars, of which he collated the world’s greatest collection.
Peter, along with wife Merle, took the collection’s cars across the world to events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as well as most major concours, and won a host of awards, including at Pebble Beach.

Indeed, in March this year at The Amelia, the Mullins’ rare 1935 Voisin C25 Aérodyne was crowned Best in Show, Concours d’Elegance.
And, in 2021, the couple’s beautiful 1934 Voisin C27 Aérosport, complete with striking geometric monochrome interior, claimed Best in Show at Concours of Elegance, held at Hampton Court Palace.
In addition, in 2017 the Mullin collection won the ultimate concours accolade, The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best, with its 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, being shortlisted for that honour having taken the top prize at that year’s Chantilly Arts & Elegance.
This 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, from the Mullin Automotive Museum, was crowned Best of the Best 2017
