Maranello Motorsport - Melbourne
Today I was nowhere in the area, yet I still managed to convince my mother to just "drop by this place I know."
These pictures are the result. Sadly I wasn't allowed in, after many attempts to break through the door. Which is understandable with easily $AU10,000,000 worth of cars all in the one showroom. I did the best I could through the glass, I hope you all enjoy them. And they're all high-res of course!  This was my first McLaren ever seen, first F50 and (obviously) first F40 GTE. These three cars alone cover around $3.8 million of this collection. www.maranellomotorsport.com.au Enjoy!

The second shot here is probably my favourite of the day, actually being able to do something with the reflections of the glass, instead of them being a massive pain in the ass. Which they were for the remainder of the time  .

Have you tried to ask with the help of your mother instead of "breaking through?" I think it's not understandable that they did not let you in. After all, they were once also young boys dreaming about cars. I can't imagine why it would be a problem to let you in and shot some pics. I hope one day they're trying to see your cars and you have the option of letting them see or not.  Don't you have any pic of that Ducati bike?

I've had problems with being allowed to take pictures in showrooms before, at one the first request was "don't scratch anything, don't badge anything and don't bother me". The people in the showroom here didn't give ONE look at me or any of the other people who were gazing in. I think it's mostly an issue of security, people aren't always able to supervise everyone in the showroom at one time, and someone can deface a car by just ducking out of sight, causing thousands of dollars' worth of damage. But I agree, they should've let me in .Sorry, bikes weren't my main priority when I was there . Next time I'm there I'll be sure to be a bit more thorough with that.

Here's the illegal shots, taken through the garage door. I would've jumped in for some quick shots if it wasn't for someone working in the back
 .Maranello Motorsport #7 That's all folks, enjoy.

No I see why they didn't let you in! They didn't want you to see that the roof is letting water in and that they are drinking too much beer! Look at all those barrels!
Hey! Is that a Daytona Spider in the middle of the 3 covered cars?

Whats are your peoples guesses of what cars are under that tarp, I'm guessing from the closest one is a 308, than maybe a 365 Spyder and a Dino.
