MR.BEAN, ACTOR AND COLLECTOR OF VINTAGE CARS
Less impassive than Buster Keaton and less frantic than Louis de Funés, Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson, entertains with his hilarious comedy.
Rowan Atkinson is one of the most famous and appreciated British actors in the world, especially as Mr. Bean, but during his film career he was also an interpreter of Edmund Blackadder, of Commissioner Maigret, of Johnny English and we add, very english like his cars: British Leyland Mini K2 1977, apple green and BMC Mini MK2 1969, orange.
The actor, engineer and commander of the Order of the British Empire (2013), is a great passionate collector and driver of vintage cars. Almost nothing is known of the highly secret collection, kept in his eighteenth-century villa, but among the cars that are part of it or in any case they were part of it, certainly noble brands, including Aston Martin DB2, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Ford Falcon, BMW 328, McLaren F1 road, and many others; R.Atkinson is so passionate that he writes articles for "Car", a British magazine linked to the motor industry and has participated as a guest star in the television program "Top Gear", also among the car events in which he participates in 2011 he raced in Mille Miglia with a BMW 328.
