I believe this is somewhere in France in the '80s - a Maser specialist with a Kyalami, a Biturbo Coupe, an unusually modified Bora, an Indy and a Quattroporte III....



De Tomaso AMX-3 with Livorna 'Prova' plates, probably on test, not sure how many of these were made....

The Biturbo must have been very new in 83, so maybe the French importer??

Very likely yes, the file name for the image has 'Threpenier' in it, which was the French importer's name wink

A 412, an S Class saloon and Coupe and a yacht - You need 3 bikini clad lovelies on the deck and it's "full Monaco" right there!

Could be right. I was thinking Ferrari 250GTE.

The 250GTE is close but it doesn't have the crease line across the bootlid like the Maser does.... wink

A bit more digging and it turns out it's the 5000GT with the chassis number AM103-008 built by Pininfarina in April '61 for Gianni Agnelli of FIAT!



(It's the only one of the thirty four cars that Pininfarina built)

Weird exhaust setup and two outlets short of the red cars.
