To all you classic car collectors out there, how many cars is too many?
I ask this as earlier today I bought an old Ferrari from a chap with a big collection. He decided he needed to move a few on, to make way for some others.
When I arrived at the "garage" in central London to view the Ferrari, I was somewhat surprised at how big the place was. He had 120 cars in there, all under individual covers. Plenty of Aston's, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Mercs, Lotus's, Rolls Royce's, etc. quite an eye opener. Apparently he has another 250 or so cars overseas!
Of course, I didn't actually meet the owner - just the full time mechanic that looks after the UK part of his fleet.
Interestingly, the car I bought had been in his possession for 4 years. And the mileage in that time? Zero. Whether it'll start and make the 120 mile journey back to my warehouse in Dorset is open to question! I'm up for the challenge (but I'll have my AA card with me!).
