    The enzo pic is not one I posted, that place does look like a professional shop to me (with some amazing cars). The place with the Miura, diablo, Ferrari's, Mangusta, Maserati's etc is not a shop, it is just a warehouse space this guy keeps cars stored... many were under tarps that were peeled back just for these pics some were only covered with dust, some I haven't seen are under piles of stuff, some were more recent acquisitions, some have sat for a long time, guy has several other spaces like this apparently and I'm hoping he will show me more of them, and I know a couple he is willing to sell, but not interested in trying hard to sell them.. I plan on talking a couple off his hands :)

    Sounds like he has a fair whack of money sitting there in his store, good on him.

    perhaps you'll be able to track the serial number and someones attempt at a fixer-upper will come your way for a bargain, not to mention a new house to board it :)

    Rik..thanks very much for the good wishes.

    We postponed doing the house for nearly a year, and I recently bought a long-overdue diamond ring for my wife with a good chunk of the 330 insurance money remaining after the 308 purchase.

    The house is now back on, so a fixer-upper is currently very low priority, unless something too good to be true falls in my lap.

    Any more? That is one amazing collection. Not a lot of $$ would spruce up that garage and make it look the part!

    Just because a garage looks dingy doesn't mean the cars aren't cared for or driven

    Exactly.
    Some panels are original, though...
    I have an 'abandoned' nose cone of a 250 TR in my back yard. ;)

    That's a 275 GTB.

    Here are some more pics back at the Hietbrink workshop.

    It's not my shop. Pictures were taken at the workshop of well known Ferrari restorer Alwin Hietbrink ( www.hietbrink.com ). Most of the bodies you see are moulds, some were replacements panels and some are original parts.
