I think I counted 5 959s in the various shop areas, including the improbable sight of these 2 virtually identical, Guards Red Touring models side by side in for servicing.
Something you'll not run across often anywhere else.

…….and another set.
Photo #1 is of an exceptionally clean and immaculate '98 993 C2 Carrera with an original documented 21,000 miles on the clock.
Photo #2 is of a '73 BMW Motorsport CSL. This particular car is #52 of the first batch of approx. 110 3.2 liter "Batmobiles" ( about 1000 in total produced ) and has been owned by racing legend Bobby Rahal since 2012, who had the car subjected to a rigorous, impeccable ground-up restoration which resulted in a class win at the 'Legends of the Autobahn' Concours. Rahal wanted to take the car rallying, but decided on another course instead. The car will be for sale as soon as it's serviced and detailed.

One set of five of the same 962 Porsche.

The first four are devoted to one car, the famous MOMO sponsored 935.
Not sure, but I believe the brake assembly is off the red 962.

Haven't a clue what these two are. Never saw one before……..then 2 in one morning in the same place.
Maybe someone who knows could enlighten us all ( sorry, couldn't find either owner ).

2 sets of a most remarkable hot-rod. When this gentleman entered the lot youy could have heard a pin drop. I don't think anyone present ever saw anything like this……ever.
The concensus is that it started out as '49 Cadillac…….the owner wasn't very forthcoming with information.
The Gold color was so reflective and vivid it really confused / overwhelmed the sensor in the camera. I had to spend a lot of time tampering with the white-balance, saturation, contrast and color-curves to even come close to a somewhat realistic reproduction of the spectacular Gold paint.
I'm not even sure this is the right place to post this……….perhaps 'other cars' or 'off topic' would be more appropriate. In the end, I guess I simply don't know what to say, which was pretty much what every one else who saw and studied this car said.
