Don't let the condition of the roof shingles fool you - they have sold some very high end vehicles out of this place over the years, including numerous multi-million dollar Ferraris and MB Roadsters and Gullwings.

If anyone knows anything about the new owner of that white 959 prototype please let me know.
My father was presented with the opportunity to purchase that car, and we simply couldn't make sense of what we were dealing with. It was described as a pre-production prototype, and therefore it should have the VIN of a 1984 911 Turbo. Yet, it had the VIN of a regular production model 1987 959. We inquired about the VIN discrepancies, asking for some documentation that would explain this. The conversations sort of died at this point, and were notified a few weeks later that the car had been sold to someone else.
