FCR Original x Matching Motors: An alliance of style and passion
When two companies with a passion for fine mechanics come together, the result can only be remarkable. It is around common values and a shared vision of excellence that FCR Original and Matching Motors have decided to collaborate.
The combination of craftsmanship, design flair, attention to detail and a love of exceptional vehicles has given rise to a project that is as coherent as it is stimulating. The establishment of an FCR Original corner in the Matching Motors showroom in Angers marks the start of a new dynamic: that of offering our preparations to a refined clientele in search of rolling objects as exclusive as they are emotional.
An obvious partnership based on shared values
FCR Original is proud to announce a new partnership with Matching Motors, a high-end dealer of exceptional vehicles based in Angers. Much more than a simple commercial partnership, this alliance is based on natural affinities: a taste for detail, a passion for fine mechanics, a culture of tailor-made products and high aesthetic standards. Matching Motors and FCR Original share a common vision: to offer rare, meticulously-prepared vehicles for a demanding and passionate clientele.
With its luxury and sport-oriented multi-brand showroom, Matching Motors attracts high-end car enthusiasts, just as FCR Original speaks to lovers of expertly prepared motorcycles. So it was only natural to create an FCR Original corner in the Matching Motors showroom, where our creations can be seen all year round. This local presence enables us to offer our bikes to a new clientele of connoisseurs, in a coherent and inspiring environment. It’s also a way of anchoring our business in a region rich in automotive passion, while creating a strong bond with a brand that shares our values.
An emblematic shoot in the heart of Angers
To seal this new collaboration, we produced a video presentation in Angers, between town and country. The objective? To showcase two worlds of automobiles and motorcycles in the same aesthetic of excellence, and to convey a shared spirit of passion and mastery.
Two iconic cars were chosen for the Matching side: a Land Rover Defender, the epitome of British ruggedness, and a 1970 Aston Martin DBS Vantage, made famous by the “Amicalement vôtre” series. Opposite them, two models signed FCR Original: the Triumph Legend and a Ride & Chrome, two motorcycles that represent the finesse, balance and visual signature of our workshop.
The convoy left the Matching Motors showroom for the winding roads leading to the Loire & Sens – Le Fief de la Thioire estate, a former 17th-century hunting lodge. The ideal setting to embody the spirit of our vehicles: refinement, timelessness and nobility of character. The wooded paths, late-day light and architectural lines of the estate captured the timeless, racy dimension of these exceptional vehicles.
Over the course of the day, we put these four machines through their paces in a form of shared escapade, an exceptional “squadron” of engines, aesthetics and heritage. Beyond the images, this shoot was an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between our teams, to share our respective know-how, to test the vehicles, to discuss future joint projects… all in an atmosphere that was as relaxed as it was professional.
A day when time seemed to stand still, between cups of tea, passionate discussions and mutual admiration. Because that’s what collaboration is all about: the simplicity of exchanging ideas between enthusiasts, with authenticity and respect for a job well done.
Opening evening and official launch of the FCR Original corner
To inaugurate this collaboration in style, Matching Motors organized a launch party in its showroom. The event brought together collectors, the curious, loyal customers and enthusiasts of top-of-the-range vehicles. A moment of sharing and discovery, punctuated by discussions, demonstrations and encounters.
Among the motorcycles on display were our flagship models, installed in a dedicated area alongside prestige cars. The evening was also an opportunity to present our approach, our way of working, our taste for craftsmanship and design, while allowing everyone to exchange ideas freely.
This FCR Original corner at Matching Motors is more than just a sales outlet: it’s a living showcase for our philosophy, a place for meetings, ideas and opportunities. It’s part of our commitment to local, sustainable development, with a fixed location where our bikes can be viewed, discussed, ordered, and sometimes even tried out.
