    To everyone asking about the oil pans - they were there for the 300SL's, which have been recently relocated. The F50 is sealed nice and tight. The Aston is just fine too, but it gets its fair share of miles, which keeps the rubber and the gaskets in good shape.

    Is this a different garage ?
    I recall (sad, but I do) a daytona, 599, dino, carb'd 308.... etc.

    or can we expect more cleaning?!?!

    (why oh why can't I remember truly "important" stuff.... )

    BTW, you are very generous in sharing with us... but tell me... do you ever sit back, gaze upon your fleet ( or a portion of it), and smirk, heart rate goes up, and say to yourself "Holy ****!".... because most of us do!

    You recall correctly. There is other storage and the cars get moved around based on their rotation position for weekend exercise. And yes I do spend a lot of time walking around the cars appreciating their having found their way to me.

    I hoped one day i might be fortunate enough to stumble upon some photos of your collection, i was expecting something nice, but this is truly stunning, just the right mix of old and modern. I am truly grateful that you have taken the time to share these photos with us, it is nice to see a rounded collection, one that is not only for show, but to be enjoyed also. I am happy these cars belong to such a passionate enthusiast.

    One question, the F50 has the black headlights, was this factory or have they been painted at some stage? Also, love the wheels on the F40. :)

    Just let me know if you need help getting them back in the garage... Great taste and good fortune Alex. My favorites are your 4GT and 410. Thanks for sharing - we don't see enough of these early cars.

    if i remember correctly, this F50 use to be blue (hence the black headlights), it was then repainted red.
