    It is indeed not clear to me. At the collection location (Metropole) there are also cars for sale, by Metropole Classics. As far as I know these cars are displayed on the ground floor. I assume the cars upstairs are not for sale and part of the collection. But do you know if it's true that some cars have a joint ownership? For example, s/n 0221 has been associated with Frans van Haren and Jan de Reu.

    3507 and 07809 aren't owned by Frans van Haren, but by HJ.

    According to an owners list regarding a Ferrari exhibition currently at the Metropole museum, Frans van Haren does own 0221. (It's not definite proof, but since other cars in the Metropole collection do have different owner names mentioned, it seems very likely).

    I agree, 24131 is a sensational car indeed, have not forgotten it. Great memories. Super car, totally spectacular, and Medlin drove it on the road.
    No, I had no video camera, just two Nikons whatever. Back then I did black white pix and color slides (Kodak Ektachrome).
    No iphones back then.
    Here's one more from the same weekend.

    What a pity, the sound of this time must have been terrifying on the track.

    Thank you for offering us such shots.

    For the sound, I'll look on youtube, there are pearls.
