I was invited out to the Southamptons, NY to do my customer's collection or at least most of it.

We got there a little after 9am and finished at about 7pm. Long day not including the 2 hour drive one way, but this was well worth it!:agree:

All cars were full exterior and full interior. These cars were pretty much in perfect condition except for the Cobra and the Jag XK150 (his daily when he out in Southamptons)

55 Corvette
Jaguar XK120
Jaguar XK150
Shelby Cobra (base)

Mystery:

Default well he has more than one home and more cars in his collection at the other homes

I don't even know how many cars he has in Florida.

He doesn't consider his cars he brings out into the city he really cars.
