WOW... those are incredible! Great article too... excuse the ignorance when it comes to F-cars, but what car is the red coupe with the white stripe?

red/white stripe is a 250LM, the last Ferrari to win at Le Mans.

250 GTO around $50 million they figure. 250 Testa Rossa way up there too. I would guess most of the others would be $10 million or so each...

Great article Ronan.
The 250 GTO and the F40 are two of my favorite Ferrari's every built....unbelievable machines.

Great article Ronan.

He also owns the famous ex-works 1970 Martini 917L-021 - the 'Hippy' car. Did they fire that one up or was it a Ferrari day only?

All beautiful cars from an era when Enzo was making cars in quantities of less than 30.
Some he only made 6 or 7 of.
