Christmas may be over but have we got a treat for you. Rather, it's YouTube channel Mr. JWW that’s playing Santa in our stead, by showcasing a humungous, jaw-dropping, hidden collection of Ferraris in Dubai.
And we aren’t just talking a few, it’s row upon row of gleaming Ferraris that remind you of a dealership, but all belong to one very rich, very Ferrari-ardent private collector.
A Scary Piece Of Art And Then Gleaming Ferraris
The video starts with a close up of what looks like a creepy man but turns out to be art. And then Mr. JWW, aka James William Walker, lets the camera pan to where the Ferraris are, ready to dazzle you.
The first ‘Rari he introduces his audience to is a 512BB, but it's a Koenig edition, very rare and superbly tuned to be more than just a Berlinetta Boxer. What’s even more special about this car is that only five of these came to be, and two crashed. So there are only three of these cars in existence, one of which is on the video.
The collection is not just about cars, for there’s an abstract prancing horse with exhaust pipes on the side and a Ferrari Opus as well, a book that delves into the history of the brand.
Walker then moves on to an equally stunning super-rare Ferrari 550 Barchetta, saying how only 448 of these were made. The collection is not just Ferraris but houses the rarest and most prized Ferraris of the lot.
A Real Michael Schumacher Ferrari
There’s an actual Michael Schumacher Ferrari F1 too, from 2003, and to top that, there’s a real race suit worn by the legend himself.
In quick succession Walker lists out the 599 GTO and parked conveniently behind it is a 599 SA Aperta, rare because only 80 are in existence. Then comes a Ferrari commissioned for Nicky Lauda, a 458 Speciale Aperta which he never got because he signed up with Mercedes instead, and so the collector got it instead.
There was also a Scuderia 16M and one-of-five Ferrari ‘Tour de France’ 812 GTS with insides done in leather so fine, it can make grown men cry.
Finally, comes another piece of art, a small Ferrari model constructed by R&D to understand the airflow around the 488 Pista. Did we mention the collector also re-created Enzo Ferrari’s office, to boot?
So as Mr. JWW puts it, if you are ever in Dubai, look up mmgallery.ae, and drop in on the side open to the public which features Porsches and art, all for sale.
