In this episode of Tales from the Tribe, MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser sits down with Xavier Micheron — a former banker who left the world of finance to chase something far more visceral: the roar of engines, the thrill of endurance racing, and the beauty of mechanical heritage.
Today, Xavier is the founder of the Ascott Collection, a unique initiative that not only collects historic race cars but restores them to compete once again. In this wide-ranging conversation, he shares what it means to curate machines with soul, the philosophy behind collecting and selling with purpose, and the emotional charge of reviving motorsport legends for the modern track.
A dialogue where racing meets craftsmanship, and where the spirit of rebellion — so central to MB&F — finds a kindred home in the world of vintage endurance cars.
