Stunning cars, would be the F40 and Ford GT for me!!

The modern cars are completely ruined by the front plates.

TBH thats not much difference from my collection, except I also have 2 x Countachs and a 512bb. All of mine from new and some of the older ones very well used

I'm sure he's thought about it, and he could obviously have one if he wanted, so the fact that he hasn't probably gives you an insight into his selection criteria. It would be interesting to hear his reasons though.

Having seen his collection evolve over the best part of 20 years, I asked him a question last year to which I probably already knew the answer, i.e. why no Veyron? As I suspected, they just don't "do it" for him. I think for Peter it's the aesthetics as much as anything that makes him get the cheque book out, and in that respect the Veyron just doesn't have the visual impact of things like the Zonda or the Agera. If I were in his position (I wish!), I think I'd have the same view.

The arrival of the Aventador is no surprise, as he has traditionally always had the top of the range Lambo in his garage. I assume it's replaced the previous LP670-4 SV.

It's good news that there will be 3 track days this year, rather than the usual 2 - more chance for drooling over the cars.

Stunning collection, and thanks to the OP for posting the link.

Of course!

So the ones that Peter owns that immediately appeal to my list, and I have to say probably in the same colour choice are:

Ferrari F40
Ferrari 599 GTO
Porsche Carrera GT
Ford GT
Mercedes SL65 AMG Black
Aston Martin DBS
Bentley Continental SuperSports (would probably be a garage queen, as much as I like them, I don't like the stereotype association!)
Range Rover (Supercharged)
Pagani Zonda
Koenigsegg Agera
Ferrari 458 (Spider)
Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

My own personal additions to my collection would be:

Porsche GT3RS
Ariel Atom 3 SC
KTM X-Bow
McLaren MP4-12C (Not 100% sure on this head would say yes, heart would probably be on the fence!)
Nissan GT-R
Lamborghini Reventon
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 (Colour: Has to be Green With Envy!)

My 'Vintage' additions:

Citroen DS (No not a DS3!!!!)
Datsun 240Z
Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
Honda NSX
Jaguar Mk.2
Rover P5B Coupe
Triumph Stag
Jensen Interceptor
Land Rover Series II Full Canvas
Fiat 500
Aston Martin DB5

So just a small'ish collection, and oh, to one day afford that dream garage!

Interesting list
For me, I'd add a Countach QV (circa 1986 - before the facelift) in red, with cream interior.

Very nice mate, another Lamborghini for me would possibly be a Diablo in the very pale milky pearlescent blue.

Yep would think so , there was (maybe still is) a orange Sv with no rear spoiler for sale at the bentley garage in pulborough.

These Guys repaired the front of my Noble after a fox Hit (Neil RIP) was a great guy. I didn't realise they were still going so will keep them in mind for the future.
