I would say the cars are much more that R250m. For example, there is the only DB2 convertible ever made, an Enzo, F50 & F40 in a row. One of only 500 Maclaren (the proper road version not the race one), 3 x 250GT - 1 of only 3 hardtops by special tuning company (sorry can't remember the name), and the only 250GT convertible LWB still left in the world. There was also a gullwing.......and that's the modern stuff....It's well worth a visit but they change the cars totally around each month so no VW's this month.
HAH! "Eyes like a Sh*t house rat!" ;)

I had no idea of the scale of vehicle that was housed within so naturally asked about any beetles. The attendant just laughed... I had double doses of the wine at the tasting just to compensate for his demeanor. ;)

Are they replicas?

Eben, the wheels are replicas but good quality ones.....the rack is original, the wood slats need sanding and yacht vanish so are off at the moment.
