These cars are all in such a flawless state of detail and presentation; I don't get the impression they're driven much, if at all. In a way that's a shame. But certainly a mind-blowing collection.

Youre right, that was also my impression as well. They didn't appear to have been driven much from what I could see. I also got the same impression when I visited Jon Shirley's garage but unfortunately I was asked not to publish those photos. He had an even more impressive collection of cars and garage too.

Shirley's cars get driven a lot Jason.


Tonkin has been sick for a very long time. He's missed events for 4-5 years now and it's sad.

Nice shots. More yellow 275 please

I figured that Shirley drove his more but wasn't sure how often. Thanks for the clarification, Mark. I love his superleggera the most. My jaws dropped when I first saw it a couple years ago. Talk about a rocket!

I hadn't realized that Tonkin was sick. That would explain why he hasnt been seen in a while.

I'll dig up more shots of those yellow cars for you. They were gorgeous.
