Yesterday, through the course of my work, I had the possibly unique experience of being shown round one of my customers collection of cars, and to say that these cars are rare is the understatement of the year.
Side by side in a fabulous garage with a tiled floor and all manor of motor racing memorabilia adorning the walls and countless trophies and cups from races gone by in 3 glass wall mounted cabinets where the Maserati 250F (No 32) that Fangio raced to victory in Monaco in 1957, the 1963 prototype David Brown Aston Martin DP215 the only one of its kind ever built and a beautiful dark blue Ferrari 250 GT SWB, the car that Stirling Moss won the Tourist Trophy in at Goodwood in1960.
Also in here where a couple of 1930's Bugattis, one of which was the T57S Roadster No.1 although I am not sure what the other Bugatti was it may well have been another of the ultra rare Corsica bodied cars. In among all these beautiful vehicles was a, I think 1932, Eight litre Bentley, which I was told would still happily cruise at around 100mph at 2000 rpm, and what I think was a Bentley Continental R Type from the 1950's
I was told that, apart from Fangio's Maserati all these cars do get used on fairly regular basis along with the 'daily drivers' which are an Audi RS4 Avant, a Ferrari 550 Maranello and new Porsche Cayenne diesel.
Sometimes my job does have its perks....
