Largest private collection in Africa
#92
If I come visit South Africa, the first place I want to go visit is THIS museum! Wow..! Speechless to the nth degree!
Reminds me of the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, CA. That was also an IMPRESSIVE collection as well.
Not too long ago, I came across a F50 that was crashed because the owner was talking on the cell phone and didn't see the Ford SUV in front of him. The hood alone was over $20k and there was only 2 or 3 left in the world so it doesn't surprise me to hear that some o the parts for the F50 had to be fabricated from scratch. Needless to say..it was also an expensive repair.

I love this superamerica. This color is so much better than the red (and occasional white) ones I have seen.

Definitely, I still struggle to fathom the amount of cars he has. I've seen not even half!
I hope he keeps bringing these rare beauties into our country.
They are starting quite a few of the cars up for father's day. Should be quite an experience.
