Francisco Carrion's family is passionate about cars. Ever since he can remember, he has been surrounded by the cars that his father was selling. His grandfather regularly took him to car shows with classic car models. It is therefore no surprise that Francisco Carrion has developed a predilection for pre-war cars. He loves the relatively simple technique and loves finding usable parts to revamp his classic cars back to their original condition. He therefore has plenty to write about for the various car magazines that publish his articles. Francisco Carrion regularly visits fairs and rallies where he takes every opportunity to tell his fellow enthusiasts about Catawiki. Consequently, the number of submitted cars has increased steadily. Naturally, these cars don't all end up in his auction. Francisco Carrion has a great eye for detail and always asks for clear photos of all the important parts of the car when in doubt. By cleverly negotiating with his sellers, he manages to gather more and more attractive classic cars to his auction.
