Passionate about classic cars, Eric Chotard, originally from Castelbriantais and living in Varadais for the past twenty years, founded the company in 2009 under the name Pièces Auto Rétro Chotard. The business focuses on selling spare parts for vintage and collectible vehicles. The adventure simply began in the garage of his home, primarily selling on a well-known auction site. The success was such that in 2014, the company took a major turn by deciding to specialize in lighting and signaling parts (headlights, lights, bulbs, etc.).
