Eerder deze week is Michel Oprey, oprichter en ex-directeur van natuursteenhandel Michel Oprey & Beisterveld in Echt, op 78-jarige leeftijd overleden te Susteren. Oprey, miljonair door zijn natuursteenbedrijf had een voorliefde voor snelle Italiaanse auto’s zoals Ferrari, Alfa Romeo en Bugatti. De Limburger kende een grote passie voor de autosport en racete zelf ook vele jaren. Verder sponsorde hij in 1992 de toen nog prille carrière van Jos Verstappen.
