See everything you like?

Always shocking to see the 906 next to a 911 with the realization that people drove those tiny little things down the Mulsanne in pitch dark in the pouring rain.

I like everything I saw...but with zero desire to possess.

Same here. I have to assume he stores customer cars and he does not own all of those toys.

Nice place.

Canepa Design is close by and I'll stop by occasionally so see what's new & interesting. Most of what's out on the shop floor are customer cars that've been shipped in from all over the country, and beyond, for anything from routine service to full restorations. Further back, in the bay with the 'car wall', are vehicles being stored for customers, along with part of Bruce Canepa's personal collection. The cars in the showroom are all for sale...some on consignment and some from the in-house inventory. All the race cars (the 917s, 906, Indycar, etc.) displayed in the upstairs museum are also part Canepa's collection.

This shop deals with the best in classic sports cars, European exotics, performance and race cars. It's like being at a concours every time I'm there.

Some of their more well-known clients
