I saw this yesterday but didnt get a chance to post it. Some collector was given the chance of a life time to buy a collection of garaged and untouched e30 M3's (TWO of them) as well as a group B monster; a friggen epic Ford RS2000!!! Well apparently today it turns out that there was also a mercedes 190E evolution II (with the 2.5l 16v cosworth engine) and the guy eneded up buying it as well.

Here is the post of the story:


Hi Guys thanks for all the really nice comments!!! A few people have asked how did i come to own the cars? well like life its self we all need a bit of luck from time to time!! i was in a hospitality suite at the Silverstone GP last year and got talking to a chap there about cars i mentioned that i collect cars and he took an interest in the subject and went on to say that he had a couple of cars himself and went on to tell me that he bought 2 m3's for his son's when they were kids for future investments there now 21 and 22, that's why there are 2 red ones (save's the arguments i guess we all know what kids are like) and he also went on to say that he also owns a merc evo 2 and an RS200 and there all brand new and unregistered, you can imagine how i reacted my chin hit the floor lol! So we swapped telephone numbers and he said if he ever wants to sell the he would give me first refusal i thought that's the last i would ever hear from him,then in January i got a phone call out of the blue from him to ask if i wanted to have a look at the cars and see if we could come to an agreement on price if i was interested so we made arrangements to view the cars and it turned out the guy is a very very wealthy business man so much so he's a billionaire, you would never know he's very down to earth!!! so we agreed a price and the rest is history!!! Well chuffed!!!!!

It's actually a RS200 (not RS2000), one of my all time favorite bad-ass rally cars. That's a fucking amazing collection of vintage greats!

That one is, indeed, an RS200 - but there was also an RS2000. Wanted one so bad in my yoof, but too poor :(

Any one of those cars would be an incredible barn find, leave alone all of them at once. I need to start hanging out with more billionaires.

Those 190E Cosworths are off the hook, I would quite literally kill for one of those. It's still a Mercedes, but it's so bonkers that you can't help but love it.

I hope the truck crashes. Fuck what a lucky bastard! It doesn't mention how much he paid for them did it?
