    Just returned from an INCREDIBLE day at Fast Cars LTD in Redondo Beach. Craig was very hospitable and generous with his time. The inventory is absolutely breathtaking. From 458s to rare, one off classic Ferraris, not to mention the oldest Alfa in existence...I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A customer and his F40 even drove up. Don't see those much in Memphis! Up close and personal with my first Lusso (in person) was very special. What a beautiful car.

    Thank you Craig and crew for a great day! I look forward to my next visit.

    My wife and I also just got a nice tour of the facilities yesterday. It was very, very impressive and I was very thankful and appreciative at how generous Craig was with his time. It was very nice to meet him and see what all was going on there. Like you, we don't get those types of experiences over on the East coast too often!

    we are just so lucky to have their shop in our neighborhood, Craig is an incredible individual to work with! That is one main reason for me to own and enjoy classic cars for all these years.

    Fast Cars takes care of my Scud and before that the 512 TR.
    Craig is fantastic to work with and the crew is all very experienced.

    By chance do you have any other photos of the 906 Porsche? As you can see by the inventory..... The guys at Fast Cars definitely know what they are doing!

    Just one more. Honestly, the inventory was overwhelming. Every where I looked, there was something special. I took a lot of pics. Craig's website has very good photos as well.

    Fantastic experience at Fast Cars LTD!

    I've heard great things about things about fast cars but I have yet to stop by. After seeing these photos I might have to do that. I hope he doesn't mind.

    I see my F355 in those pics. I can't wait to pick the car up on Monday..Craig and his team have been absolutely wonderful to work with. Looking over my invoice, I'm impressed with the attention to detail that they possess. Thanks Craig; see you Monday.

    Wow. Great pics of some amazing cars. I had no idea they had touches to such good stuff. Must find an excuse to stop by at some point. Love the 906 in particular. Thanks for posting!

    Resurrecting an old post but I had an opportunity to revisit Fast Cars and Craig Calder while in LA for 60 Years of Ferrari. Craig, Wendy, Francisco and the boys in the garage all made me feel welcome and comfortable. EVERYONE is pleasant and professional and the inventory for sale or in restoration is simply unbelievable. I always learn something when I visit and am continually impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail in caring for these beautiful automobiles.

    This is an unsolicited endorsement and will probably make Craig blush but if you're in the area, a visit to Fast Cars is a must for any Ferrari or European car person. Those who are regular clients of Fast Cars...count yourselves blessed. It's hard to find a place like this anywhere else.
