OMG!! is that three zonda cinques or two plus one one orange done up to look like a cinque? regardless, right there you have atleast 2 of 5 worldwide - i guess every car in there has a "call for price" listing on it ; )

Yes thank-you, I can read, I am a qualified English teacher.

Just seems unlikely that a dealer would have the RSR, not road legal, still, I suppose some dealers have collector cars.

I believe the name of the dealer is Auto Passion or something similar.

If you wonder about dealers selling collector cars (including race cars) I can go to a few local dealers that have such cars available, and in the showroom.

I wasn't questioning your ingrish, only viewing the last line of text... easy to overlook.

Amazing collection, if slightly zonda biased

My friend and I might be taking a 288 GTO to a car show in the next few weeks, probably on a trailer but it's only 40 miles away so maybe it'll be driven. Excited.

Sabotage the trailer...slash the tyres, bend its axle, do something!
The GTO deserves to be driven and seen doing so

I didn't get a picture of it at the time, but I went through a Mcdonalds drive through in a 288 GTO a few years ago (My friend wanted a cup of coffee, and I got a coke). Round drip was about 90 miles that day.

Lucky. I've only been in an F50. The 288's even rarer...

I missed out on the ride/ drive of the F50; but I did get to drag race it a little. It was the F50 that was seized by the FBI about 30 days later LOL (I was driving a 360 CS).

That said, I am happy to have driven the CS (on multiple occasions) but feel I may have missed a grand opertunity with an F50... since I don't really have any access to any F50's anymore that are a day's drive away.
