Mandatory cars for "world-class" collection?

For one, I'd have to add a Lusso to the list.

 

Well with an unlimited budget, i would get every Ferrari I could get my hands on! I would get doubles of most.

Everything from 308's and 328's to 250 GTO's and Enzos would be in my collection

After that I would get all the other desirable cars that I want too, I'd name them but theres too many, anyways people get the idea

 

Mclaren F1, Enzo, F50, F40, and 288 GTO at the very least.

But since this is fantasy stuff, let's go all the way:

Each LeMans winner... not the type of car... the actual winning car.

 

It all depends. Some might go for a range. One from ever major model designation:
A 166 or 212 or something else pre-250
A 250 SWB and/or TDF
A 275 GTB
Daytona
Boxer
some of the moderns

But, if it were me, I would stick with the 250s and 275s, and that would be it. I love them.

It's all what you are looking for. Most of the people here would probably be with you - Enzo, F50, F40, 288 GTO. But, I like them older. If I am ever in the position to be a collector, I will have one modern car, and the rest would be older. I would continually trade in for the newest replacement, but that would be my only modern car.
Honestly, I'm reasonably obsessed with the F50, so I'd probably get one of those too
But, in all, I would rather have a bunch of old racers than a bunch of new supercars. Just personal preference.

 

Its your money, buy what ever floats your boat. There are lots of different flavors of Ferraris, each with their own pros and cons. If they don't excite you (and not the rest of us), what's the point of collecting them?

 

512BBi - Twin Turbo and upgrades
512m

456 - (The Daily Driver)

360
360 Challenge

F40

-------
Non-Ferrari:
Custom Gemballa edition Mercialago

 

A serious collection has to have an 8c Alfa Romeo and I guess a Bugatti Type 35. Not sure what Ferraris really, but more than one and atleast one 250 series.

For what it's worth:

- 250 GT Pininnfarina Cabriolet Series I;
- 330 GTC;
- Daytona Spyder;
- 308GTB (fiberglass);

Again, (as previously mentioned) there is no benchmark model that HAS to be in your collection, but rather it's what turns your crank that should be in your stable.

 

Unlimited resouces, and more importanly unlimited garage space? These are the Ferraris that float my boat:

166 Inter
195 Inter
340 America
250 MM
500 Mondial
375 America
410 Superamerica
250 GT LWB TdF
250 TR
250 GTO
250 LM
500 Superfast
275 GTB/4
330 P3
712
288 GTO
F40
333 SP

Yes, I like the old cars and race cars...

 

While the money (and garage space) may be unlimited, my time is always limited. And, I wouldn't want to buy cars to sit in a warehouse and rot away.

So, that means practically not more than 4 or 5 cars...

456GT 6-speed (awesome daily driver)
500 SuperFast
365 California
250GT/L Lusso
365GTB/4 Daytona Coupe
550 Barchetta

OK, that's 6 cars, but I figure the 456 doesn't count, since it will be my daily driver.

 

i would go for
250 California spyder
250 SWB
250 GTO
250 LM
275 GTB/C
daytona spyder
512 M
550 Barchetta
288 GTO
F40
F50
Enzo
and this would be just to start it off.

 

Oh ! I forgott and a 512TR

 

For me,

Enzo
F50
F40
288 GTO

plus

McLaren F1
Bugatti Veyron.
