Ard op de Weegh is a school principal in Arnhem. His father had a fascination with cars, which he passed on to his son, and Ard is very proud to also have a son who shares this passion. Ard began looking into the fate of the 'Sleeping Beauties' when one of his teachers, who was fond of Dovaz's Alfa 6C2500 Competizione, said shortly before he died that he had planned to research the collection. Ard started to investigate, at first with his son, Arnoud, and since December 2006 with Kay Hottendorff also.
