Good luck in accomplishing your target deals, those must be special, considering your current garage.
Thanks. The XJR-15 is a very special car and ticks all the right supercar boxes in terms of full carbon fiber tub, V12, racing heritage, very raw, and small build numbers.

Color on the CCR is an interesting story. It actually looks much better "in person" than in pictures.

Took the Mosler out for a 160 mile drive today (went to test drive the 16M). Nice fall day and the leaves are all in the middle of changing color so a great day to drive (also seemed to have an unusually large number of camera phones pointed at the Mosler today). As usual, it fired right up and off we went after a brief period to let all the fluids warm up properly. The car ran beautifully the entire trip. The amount of torque and forward thrust in all gears from just about 1000 rpms and up is highly impressive. Such an easy car to drive at any speed. Steering is razor sharpe and the CF tub lets you know what the car is doing at all times. At times when just cruising down the highway, you do get the feeling that you are sitting in a Group C car and everyone else is in a Golf cart as it is so easy to pull past everyone when you want to. Overall a good drive on a nice fall day.

...I have got a feeling that you are trying to sell your MT900S, just to get Photon.

Great find. A friend of mine now owns one of the XJR-15s that was raced in Monaco.

Wow! Amazing collection and superb taste!

Any chance a eb110 ss would enter your stable one day?

Unlikely, not one that has ever really caught my interest.

The one next to the Dino kind of looks like a Nissan GTR. Maybe an F40 in the back also in a car tube.
