Some very historic racing cars sitting under plastic sheets. I understand that back in the ninties Ron Dennis spent a fair amount of effort re-acquiring McLarens that had been sold off. Many of the M19's, M23's & 26's had been sold to privateers long ago, and many are now back in the hands of McLaren. The thing that has always puzzled me about owning a relatively contemporary F1 car is, what the hell do you with it, other than put it on display? Unless you have the capacity to work out the electronics of a recent F1 car, they're expensive to operate. Turbo cars from the eighties that are in collectors hands, that actually run are mythically rare, the 1.5 litre turbo engines are so fragile, and expensive to repair, that few people dare to attempt to start one up. The 3 litre cars of the seventies are a different matter, there's plenty of DFV's laying around, and they had none of the high tech electronics of the later cars.
