The idea of founding AutobauAG came to the enthusiast and racing car driver Fredy Lienhard through a key experience. He guided the children of an elementary class to see his private car collection and saw the enthusiasm and joy of the children. From this experience, Fredy Lienhard has developed the idea of making her collection a museum open to the public. The renovated, high-quality plant - the old tanks factory - offers an exciting historical backdrop.
Visitors can safely approach the cars, and under the supervision of the guides, are allowed to enter many of the cars on display, taking pictures and looking under the bonnets. The museum is constantly evolving, includes over 100 vehicles, in addition to the special collection dedicated to the Sauber Formula1.
Fredy Lienhard, well-known and appreciated in the racing world, founded in 1968 Lista Racing racing in many categories (Formula 2, Can-Am, IMSA, 24 Hours of Daytona, etc) active until 2008.
His company LISTA produces drawer systems and other furnishing components for offices and mechanical workshops, and nowadays almost all car manufacturers use these equipment, including the various Formula 1 stables such as Ferrari, McLaren and Sauber.
