Our Legacy
Freddy founded International Car Center (ICC) in Qatar in 1973, following the establishment of Top Cars GmbH in Essen, Germany in 1971 alongside partner Erich Schulz.
Together, ICC and Top Cars became pioneers in the exotic car market across Qatar and Germany—specializing in European imports and bespoke automotive orders. ICC quickly became a destination for Doha’s elite and neighboring regions, delivering automotive excellence from Germany and across Europe. Over time, the business expanded into yachts, fine jewelry, and rare antiques.
From the late '70s to the mid-2000s, ICC and Top Cars helped shape the luxury car scene between continents—igniting a legacy of cross-border trade and passion for the extraordinary.
Raised in the world of automotive excellence, Steve grew up immersed in the industry. With a deep passion for cars and a sharp eye for rare finds, he’s committed to carrying forward the legacy of his predecessors—bridging the timeless charm of classic cars with a modern vision.
His true calling lies in connecting discerning collectors with extraordinary vehicles. For Steve, it's more than a career—it’s purpose.
The Royal Editionⓒ, founded in 2012, was born from that vision. What began as a consultancy and procurement service for avid collectors has grown into a global network for sourcing the rare, the refined, and the remarkable.
