“As a Dakar driver, racer, rally enthusiast and devoted Ferrari and Lancia aficionado, I first met Frank van Ganzewinkel in 2019, when I acquired a Ferrari 308 with the intention of rebuilding it into a rally Group 4 version. Driven by our shared passion and the exceptional craftsmanship of Maturo, we began a complete redevelopment project of the 308 Group 4. When I later commissioned other projects at Maturo we agreed upon me joining the company as a co-owner alongside Marco Geeratz. As of late 2025, I have become the sole owner of Maturo, with Frank continuing to serve as our trusted technical advisor. Maturo will continue to build some of the most beautiful historic rally cars and their respected, fully redeveloped counterparts for road use.”

“The thing I like to do the most in my work, which is also the most challenging, is the R&D process. The cars that we build do not have a ‘how-to-build’ manual so I enjoy sorting out exactly how it was done in the past, by the factory. With 30 years of experience and my passion for Italian (rally) cars, I like to design a project from start to finish. It’s like a super complex puzzle which will, at the end, have all its pieces put together. After years of completing all kinds of these puzzles, I chose to focus on the car that I love the most: the Lancia Delta Integrale. In which we have invested thousands of hours now, and counting. In short, what we do at Maturo Cars is making what’s already great even greater, whilst sticking to the original specs and aesthetics.”
