The 997 targa 4s is a 2009 in Malachite green (wrapped in orange by previous owner). I drive it like I stole it. Did 140mph for a small stretch on way to cottage two weekends back

The 996 is 2004 in polar silver (looks light blue) with navy interior ... really low mileage, from Virginia originally. Wife babies the crap out of her

He's British.

 

He is Youtuber Shmee150. He has been traveling around the US with his own new Ford GT checking out car collections and Poulter was one of his stops.

Mine is pewter metallic (paint code 655). Black interior. I do most of the maintenance myself. Air-cooled and a real clutch.

It's a blast to drive. Tell the wife you must drive it hard.

I personally liked Reggie Jackson's collection better. He was a muscle car guy which is more my liking. He sold several at Barrett Jackson years ago.

[NonCompetitive1]

Ugly car collection more like.

no collection is complete without American muscle, like this pristine 70 charger "Jezebel".

I don’t blame him after the butt ripping Shelby gave them at lemans ..... chicken farmer with old ford tractor power did that.

[chigolfer1]

In any sort of real world sense, all those Ferraris are impressive but if you are living in that uber rich world and can afford all those, I have to say it doesn't seem like that interesting of a collection.

It’s a nice collection. The coolest thing of course is that he earned the money himself, and even better, earned the money for his first by winning the Italian open.

 

 

 

[straightshot7]

I like Poulter's older Ferraris. So cool looking.

 

The thing that would bother me, and this might sound lame----but keeping them clean.

 

They look so nice in the showroom. When you have things that nice the downside is now you care if they get messed up.

 

I wouldn't want to drive them and get them dirty or damaged.

 

But, I guess you could choose to have the mindset of not caring. In Poulter's case, he probably has someone who washes the car the same day or next day after he's done driving it. So it's not a big concern.

I have to agree. But I will preface it with the fact that I’m hugely biased because of my vocation and very much numb when it comes to being impressed by cars. Especially over priced midlife crisis mobiles. You can take the sticker price and build something to eat it’s lunch , and have change left for a garage to house it in.

His cars are investments, which is why he rarely drives them. Every car shown he could sell more much more than he bought them for. Walking into your garage and seeing those incredible works of art sounds better than checking your stock portfolio.

Eh. Yes. In theory it works that way. But it’s a very volatile market. I manage one large american collection for a guy. And while he loves street rods / resto mods , I push him towards original examples of rare muscle cars because they are still gaining. And gain regularly. Modern or late model anything , Ferrari included is a risky proposition. It could take 20-30 years for any real appreciation in value. Factor in the upkeep of the facility plus insurance and you still may not realize a profit. Not even an enjoyment if it’s a car you cannot drive for fear of losing value.

The collector Ferrari market isn't really volatile. Vintage Ferrari V12's are gaining something like 17% in value a year. You're right about upkeep of facility, insurance, car maintenance...all that adds up very quickly.

This is not a "facility". This is his garage at his house.

Right. But unless I missed them. He’s mostly or all modern Ferrari. Won’t be vintage until 2035

 

Not trying to argue. Just saying these are cars with huge maintenance bills IF you drive them. And I’m not talking tires and brakes. I’m talking $15-20k timing chain/belt swaps every 5 years or so or a $50k engine when it ( the belt/chain depending on model ) breaks if you don’t.

It’s climate and humidity controlled , and larger than 2 car so it’s a facility , not a “ 2 car attached “ garage. Not to mention the security system / cameras etc. It has a constant monthly overhead cost that a non collector doesn’t have. That’s the point of saying “ facility “. A lot of insurance companies won’t touch a car like that if it doesn’t live in a climate controlled home of its own like that.

Co-creator as well so the money made from that show is astronomical.

Didn't take it as arguing, no worries. All his modern Ferraris are limited production models, so at least he picked the good ones to save away.

The funny thing is that these are basically race cars

 

And they end up getting driven to Starbucks at like 40mph ; )

Lol true. So sorta like gaming a tour issue M6 with $300 shaft and only driving it 220? :D

HEY! What did I ever do to you??!! Haha

 

I drive a Subaru and love it :)

[PZero]

Several mentioned Leno's garage, well the same kid just posted this video.

 

[Man_O_War]

Holuy Sh7t : Jay Leno's collection values is more than a bunch of countries on this planet. that is amazing.

 

Well, as for Ian...goes to show the ones who have the most fun are the ones in the middle of the pack....winning just enough and look.

[The7thLetter]

Leno's collection is on another level. I like that Seinfeld is so dedicated to Porsche - he buys what he likes.

 

I've always loved Poulter's story. Guy was working in a shop at 20-21 and then made it. Nice to seem him enjoying the fruits of his labor. Not a Ferrari guy myself, however.

[bscinstnct]

Best car collection be from movies like
