Definitely, especially ones that were never driven.

I added it at the end of my post, but it turned into a description that takes you to site.

Oh well, anyone with the money to buy them also has the money to get them running again....
Exactly, or how can you not be tempted to take them just around the block.

Have always loved those, but I also love the Testarossa and 512 TR roadsters.
Although for some reason I'd love to take that Cizetta.

Wow!! That is just wild! I never knew "only delivery miles" 355 and F40 still existed. This collection is a gem for whoever has the dough

Amazing. If it's really for sale.
I mean I'm sure this someone has this car collection, but I went to the web-site and in the contact page there is no e-mail address, no address, and no phone number.

People with exotics and high priced vehicles would appreciate dealing over the phone, and if they don't speak English I assume they have the funds to hire a broker who does and can sell it for them.
Just looks fishy to me.

the sultan of brunei typically got first dibs on any exotic produced in the last couple decades, and when he ordered cars, he orders 7-8 of each model, so that he had extras for his family members. ive read stories claiming as many as 1,000 exotics in various storage garages like this one all belonging to the royal family, and many full time mechanics are flown in from each manufacturer to maintain the un-driven vehicles.

however, i believe they are past their heyday, so who knows what the current level of maintenance is being performed on these cars (if they are from the brunei collection at all).

even considering bad fluids and ruined seals........many of these rare cars are worth the money simply because of the lack of mileage and rarity. whomever buys them can surely perform the needed repairs.

+1. That is a crazy sin, all those cars sitting w/ cardboard boxes rotting away like that in some warehouse or something. Those owners are as bad as others who just buy and use an exotic for a few mths then trade away for the next flavor of the mth. Not real car lovers imo.

There is no greater crime than to have an F40 and to have never driven it.
