Jesus, 450, I would call that excessive in Forza !

[Iva Barchetta]

Where's my cheque book ?

Stunning collection.

[LotusOmega375D]

Couple of nice Lancias there: LC2 and Integrale 16v rally car in particular.

[Mafffew]

I wonder who they all belong to? 450 cars is just staggering

And in amongst all that lovely, interesting exotica is a...2007 VW Beetle.

Must have been his ginger stepdaughter's birthday present

[DocJock]

Blimey! He liked his E-types...

[Blayney]

Great collection, a bit confusing why you'd bother having so many e type and 911 variants... do you really need 964 and 993 Carrera S and Carrera 4S when you have RS versions of both?

Also interested in whether this is a typo or not...

2011? Must be a mistake?

With a collection that size and and considering the calibre of the majority of the cars within the collection it's pretty simple.

Because he/she can! I do take your point though, what I find more interesting is the examples where he/she has more than one of the same car in the same colour.

4 x Testarossa's, 2 of which are the same year and all of them are red!

There are a few cars with incorrect years it seems:

I think with the jaguars the years have been accidently switched around possibly?

[Soov535]

Any idea who this is?

Say £50k per car (average!) and that's £20m plus the boats and bikes.

Wow.

[fuzzymonkey]

What will the Cosworths go for?

[LotusOmega375D]

How should I know?

More likely an estate sale after the owner died.

I'll take the collection of Alfa 75s, please.
