this is my childhood dream..... This was the part of the start for my love of cars :
The Ford garage where my old man ordered his brand new 90's Spec s2 RS turbo had one of these as a simulator that I got to play on for hours...... My other dream car and still aim to own at some point is a std Red s2 RS turbo but they are like rocking horse ****!

Not many around when I were a lad. Saw one parked up on the street in late 80s ... jet black exterior with leather interior. Looked amazing + the performance was bonkers back then too

When I was a kid mine just had pedals
.........but could still do 40mph+ down some of the big hills here in Wales
Question: Is the red car in the background with "YNF I" reg a Ferrari then too? 308 or something else? Sorry I'm not too good on the old Ferrari's.

Looks like a 512BB in second photo - very rare and pricey!!!
agreed - a 308 in the first (or a 328)

First pic is a Countach QV500 and a 512BB Second pic is a Brand new 205 GTI and a 365BB ( Ithink, it could be a 512)
He had WHO 11 and WHO 22 as well as a few other plates, the only one that meant anything was YNF1 which I have now. He wasn't famous per se, but was a car dealer that sold cars to many celebs

Had this as a dream as a kid, kinda not the same when I managed it and it was 18 years old.
Within 1,000 mils the head had failed, £3k spent on it in a year, ouch! Mind you it should have been fine after that but I sold it.

Ferrari 500 Superfast. There was lots of publicity when Peter Sellers bought it in the mid 1960s.
Got to drive it in the 1990s and it was all I had dreamed of
