    I would dearly love to actually see one in the 'metal', so if any one can tell me where in the world this is possible I would be very gratefull.I know there is one in a garage in Singapore, but i live in England so is there any where near me in England or Europe where one can be seen.
    i.e. a museum or collection open to the public? I believe that the late prince rainier of Monaco had one in his public museum, but i think he sold it.Im also aware of the Auto Salon Singen in Germany but both these places are pretty far from the U.K.

    Any suggestions or help would be great thanks Al.

    Im afraid Singen is the safest bet if they arent sold. Other GTR's are prob kept in underground garages that you wont be able to visit unless invited .

    There is prob one in the UK but who owns it is a good question.

    there are 25 gtr coupes and 5 roadsters, im guessing that most seem to be in Germany, looking at those ones for sale all of which are there, but any furthur advice will be appreciated.
    there must be at least one in the U.K. but where?

    If you're ever in the Orlando area (many visit from the UK), there are a couple car shows held where a CLK-GTR from Sarasota, FL (Osprey to be exact) makes an appearance. It looks stunning in person. I've seen it twice (two years in row) and both times it was raining :( One time it was parked next to a Gullwing, looked amazing.

    The place that owned it also has/had a F50, Xj220, and a couple other Fcars(ie 360,355,550, etc.) when i was there.

    The place where i saw them was not you're usual multi million dollar car dealership. It was a trailer with all the cars out front in the lot. Then the CLK-GTR was tucked away behind the building. If i remember correctly is was #16/25

    Edit: i found there website. It is www.westcoastmotor.com

    Enjoy

    There's a small racing shop in Langenfeld, Germany with a couple of GTRs. Langenfeld is near Düsseldorf, so not that far from the UK.
    I don't know the name of the shop but it's in the same street as where Modena Motorsport is located (see dot on map).
