Default An Exotic Warehouse in London

Hi, I know i've not been around here for a while now, but Maou asked me to post the photos from my trip to RossoCorsa cars, as a couple of weekends ago at the Autoitalia Italian car day I made friends with this guy who works there, and he invited me up, so I took the afternoon off from the dealership I work at, and went to visit one with a little more value under the 1 roof!

The whole warehouse was packed with Italian Exotics, Ferrari's Lamborghini's and Maserati's.... and 1 german SL500 (trade in) I've tried to list the cars as best possible, but i'm no expert on Ferraris, so some may remain blank. I'm also not a Ferrari fan, but the sight of all the cars so close together and when you walked in, you could just feel the power in the atmosphere, an awesome experience, and I hope, some of you may enjoy the photos, which have had a lot of editing as the warehouse was very dark

a Ferrari 348?


very rare (apparently 1 of only 3 made) 1979 Ferrari 512 BB Sports


Ferrari F355 F1 Spider


Ferrari 308 or 328 ?


Ferrari F355 F1 Spider


Maserati 3200GT Coupé


1983 Lamborghini Jalpa


Ferrari F355 GTS


Ferrari 456GT


Maserati Spyder (4200GT)


Ferrari Testarossa


Ferrari F355 Spider


Ferrari 360 F1 Modena


1989 Ferrari 412


Ferrari F355 F1 Spider (yes, another one!)


Lamborghini Jalpa (sold the day before I arrived apparently, waiting for prepping, it looked lovely)


And this car has just by-passed my "most Wanted list" and hit the top of my "Most Needed List"! Its stunningly beautiful, I cannot describe it
I give you the 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster


1980 Ferrari 308 IMSA Race Car (Imported from USA)

308 IMSA Race Car body (Fibreglass) with 328 blueprinted engine, full cage, slicks and wet tyres, Webber Alfa injection management, NEW penske 3 way dampers, ready to race, includes covered trailer. Built by Mark Skegs, engine newly rebuilt, new gearbox.

2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT 5992cc (6.0), nicknamed the "Queen Mary" by those who work with her, another quality piece of machinery


1972 Ferrari 246GT, possibly the most beautiful ferrari ever made by my reckoning


348??


Ferrari 360 Spider


Hidden Beauty, 1992 Lamborghini Diablo (5707cc)


Ferrari 360 (x2)


Another Ferrari 456GT


2000 Maserati Quattroporte Evoluzione 3.2

and finally shots of the warehouse to give a perspective view of what could be seen

Pretty nice collection! Too bad it was so damn cramped and dark! It's a 328 BTW at the top

My fav one is the green 3200GT! Never seen in such color! :good:

Nice pics.

Some nice Jalpa's and the Diablo 6.0 is an absolute beast.

Shame it was so cramped, and that there wern't too many newer cars (i'm not a massive fan of older ferraris, with a few exceptions of course)

The Murcielago Roadster has to be my fave though.... saw my first at Lambo Manchester a while ago, and all i can say is it looks better topless Although the 100mph rag top is supposed to be a beast to fit, so it can't be that suitable for the UK

The Ferrari 348/355/328 and Maser 3200GT are getting cheaper now.

A 3200GT (2000 model) can be had for £25k here.... that's the same price as a Merc E200 w/ a few options.... sure mainteneace will be higher... or were you talking about used audi/merc, because a Porsche still requires a degree of looking after

That is a very very very expensive warehouse.. It is a big of a dull warehouse but the cars make up for it.. Thanks for the images.
