Write Up Private Car Collection - Surrey

[Clive68]

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to visit a private collection of cars in darkest Surrey...

On display were over 70 pristine classic cars, 100 petrol pumps and thousands of pieces of memorabilia.

MORE PICTURES please!

Who are these people who have 70 classic cars in perfect condition? I want to be them. I should have worked harder at school.

That Miura and the Cobra..........just wow!

The Cobra... OMFG !!!! Stunning - its still my possible future kit

 

[Brian James]

An absolutely STUNNING collection ...........I do wonder though what is going through the owner's mind when all he can hear and see is the conversion to EV.
Long live unleaded !

That looks very interesting! Is that ever open to the public? And what else is in the collection? Anything more modern perhaps?

 

[Pond]

I Can't stop looking at the "GNU batteries" poster behind the Cobra.
Please tell me their advertising strapline was "reliable voltage for your wild(e) beast".

 

[Clive68]

By popular demand here are some more pictures...

Yes, they do have more modern classics too!
Aston Martin Vanquish, various Alfas, Ferraris, MacLarens & Lambos, etc.

I came on this one purely by chance whilst on a summer holiday in Zell Am Zee, Austria.
It's in the basement of a hotel!

What a great place, where is it? Sorry just noticed it says Surrey in the title

 

[Robtp10]

That looks amazing, I see they partner with Supervettura which is owned by a mate of mine, I suspect that is where the Koenigsegg came from.
