BTW, nice photos, it is hard to get good shots with the lighting in there.

He then got into federalizing and upgrading 959s when the import restrictions were relaxed and started building his reputation for high-end custom SUVs, bikes & cars. He amassed the collection over time and has always been an active amateur road racer. This year's SPEED coverage of the Monterey Historics featured Canepa piloting a 935 in one of the heats.

He is the Original owner of that 935. I believe he is also the Original owner of a 962. I thought I had read where there was a connection between him and Otis Chandler.
