Largest private collection in Africa

This is a guy's private collection, it's not even all their vehicles. They have over 300 vehicles. They are kind enough to open their collection to the public.

They have a couple 100+ year old cars in the collection.

EDIT: MORE IMAGES ON Page 8 and 9 of this thread!


Type 23 Bugatti


The other Bugatti's


1903 Ford

Gotta love the 288 GTO!


Their F50 is at the repair shop, it had a minor accident a month back.

CLK DTM, 288 GTO and F40 what a sick collection, truly outstanding if its one thing I want the most is the 288.

Are they actual Zagato concepts or just "normal" Alfa RZ and SZ?

And, what in the world is that Aston convertible? Looks like a custom body!!!! It's splendid!
edit - apparently it's a DB2/4 MkII Spider, one of three ... amazing.

They are Zagato concepts.

Yes, that Aston Martin DB2/4 is crazy!
