Very rare to see this car in gold. I love the two tone. It’s just a beautiful looking car.
Car number 9

2. 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
This has to be one of the most beautiful cars of all time, without question. It’s just beautiful from every direction.
Car number 85

3. 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
An iconic car. Ridiculously expensive. Ridiculously rare. Absolutely gorgeous in White.
Car number 6
.
4. 1994 Bugatti EB110
One of my very favourite supercars, or you could call it a hypercar, of all time. I still think this looks modern in today’s era.
Car number 44
.
5. 1954 Ferrari 250 Europa
Absolutely stunning. Love this metallic light blue with silver roof.
Car number 34
.
6. 1968 Ford GT40
This car is the actual 1968 and 1969 Le Mans 24 hour winner. An iconic car, and a car I’d very much like to drive. God knows how much that would be worth. Love the Gulf racing colours. A purposeful beast of a racing car.
Car number 15
.
7. 2004 Maserati MC12
Just why wouldn’t you want one of these cars. Beautiful. Purposeful. I love the colours , two tone blue and pearl colours. The Maserati MC12 is an iconic hypercar.
Call number 77

8. 1969 Porsche 917 K
A car I would absolutely love to drive and experience. In golf racing colours as well, lovely. The Porsche 917K is another iconic racing car from the Porsche company and boy would I love to have a drive of this car.
Car number 33
.
9. 1938 Delahaye 145 Coupe
What a beautiful and exquisite looking car. Part of the Merle and Peter Mullin collection, a well-known car collectors. So cool. I love it.
Car number 4
.
10. 1952 Mercedes-Benz W194
What an absolute stunning car. I’ve never seen one of these before. Only ten W194s were made. This is an endurance racer produced by Mercedes-Benz for the 1952 sports car racing season, its first after World War II. Powered by the 3.0 litre SOHC straight-6 M194 engine, it ran off an impressive string of victories that included 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bern-Bremgarten, the Eifelrennen at Nürburgring, and Mexico’s Carrera Panamericana. The W194 was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR in 1955.

1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental
A beautiful looking car. Lovely design. Absolutely massive.
Call number 31
Read about this car in the Pearl Collection article.
.
1967 Lamborghini Muira P400
I’m not a fan of this colour. It looks like a pastel orange. Sorry if the owner reads this, but I think this is the worst colour for a Lamborghini Miura that I’ve ever seen. Have to include the car here as a notable mention as it’s one of my favourite cars of all time.
Car number 47
.
1967 Ferrari 330 GTS
What a beautiful looking car. After spending more than two decades in a climate controlled garage in southern California, the car was brought to the UK by its current owner in 2021.
Call number 49

1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder
What an absolutely beautiful car. What’s not to love, except the price of course.

Just a beautiful looking car. I have a thing for this car.
Car number 8
.
2019 Ferrari 488 Pista ‘Tailor-Made’ Coupe
Just would love to drive this car. Period. I think it looks great in silver with the French colours stripe down the middle. I’m assuming it’s owned by a French person.
Car number 88
.
1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Touring
In my opinion, this is probably the best shaped Porsche 911. I like the spoiler at the back, just simple and functional. I love this mustard yellow colour too. Of course, his car is in perfect concours condition.
Call number 82
.
1956 Aston Martin DB3S
I don’t know what it is about this car, but I just love it. I love the shape, love the colours, love the fact it’s an Aston Martin racing car, I love the fact it’s very basic, which means purposeful.
