Default A friend's Private Collection

This past weekend I got to visit a friend's private automobile collection. The cars in this warehouse represent only half the cars he owns and he plans on doubling the warehouse space so he can fit even more. Most of the cars represent the cars he wanted to buy when he was young and had no money hence why you see a lot of '80's stuff. He made his money by inventing a few medical devices and is set thanks to that.

Some note worthy cars in the collection:

-White Ferrari 250GTE was once Enzo Ferrari's Daily Driver
-Blue Ferrari 275GTS is a former Paris Show car and is actually and AUTOMATIC as it was built for someones wife. It is also original and unrestored.
-Diablo Roadster is the only white one with a white interior
-Countach is the only White on White on White to come out of the factory
-Ferrari 400i Limo is the only limo ever officially sanctioned by Ferrari and was built for a really well off customer in Australia.
-F2001 is a former Schumacer car which he drove at Monza and the US GP. Each engine rebuild costs $250k

Enjoy the pics:

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?

Pretty sure that it is this, in which the OP mentioned.

Impressive collection. A lot of Pininfarina styling in that garage!

In my opinion the Ferrari 250 GTE is the most beautiful Ferrari ever made. The old adage remains true - that the cars with the simplest styling age the best. Beautiful car.




I see he also owns a Ferrari 365 GTC/4 - those are very rare cars. Only about 480 were made.





Thanks for sharing!
