I've seen in threads on the RSOC website of his Ford collection and thats impressive in itself.

These latest additions are just yikes

Fair play to him and this story is a dream of any petrol head.

I wonder if they will be used by the new owner or just kept in his collection.

I guess if you are a billionaire a few hundreds grands worth of cars is short change.

apparently he is an avid collector if RS/Cosworths

bumped into this billionaire chap at Silverstone and just got talking; cars were investment/presents for his two sons hence they are identical, and he forgot about them!!

Will they not be a bit knackered if they have not been stored correctly... i.e. rusty bores, loads of mechanical work needed? I guess that they must be worth £30-£40k so a Service III / IV style servicing isn't the end of the world!

true to a point, I am sure he is pretty miserable with his purchases
