A collection that ranges from an Opel GT to a BMW M1

Any details on the red car with the strange doors or that yellow Ferrari vert?
The red car is actually a VW kit car. He got it because it has Gullwing doors and he loves anything with Gullwing doors.

The Yellow car with the Ferrari emblem is a Fiat Dino.

Actually two of the cars are Formula 3000 cars. One of them is a two seater, and yes the MS car IS a championship winning car.

Thanks for sharing!

The Ferrari 250 GT SEFAC is my favorite Ferrari, close second is the 365 GTC/4
