OK Boys and Girls....A lovely one bedroom house with room for 30 Z's plus all your extra motors, parts and memorabilia. Now filled with those German cars we can beat!

Ooohhhhh, look...they've got a 718 RSK Spyder (RennSport Kurtz) !!! (The silver roadster #56 on the checkerboard floor) :shock: Class winner at LeMans, several years outright winner at Sebring and Targa Florio (one year 1-2-3) and Eastern Europe's hill climb champion several years running. Lovely little air-cooled quad-cam flat 4-6-or-8 cylinder engines, giant killers of cars far more powerful than they were. A Porsche hallmark for the ages. Fewer than 40 of them built in the 1950s/60s, not that many left today. That car alone is worth more than the property being sold here, a recent auction bringing more than $3,000,000USD for one of the smallest-engined RSKs.

Obviously none of the cars is included in this price.

I've always suspected Malcolm Pray had some secret place like this hidden in the woods somewhere. This 1-bedroom home would actually be for the live-in carkeeper. It's not a small apartment with a large garage; it's a car museum with a live-in custodian's quarters.
What I DON'T see anyplace is an overhead HALON fire suppression system or a burglar alarm control box. :roll:

Can you imagine getting PAID to live there and start, wash, and change the oil on each Porsche periodically?

What a grand way to spend one's retirement! You wouldn't even need cable TV.

Mystery solved, the Porsche collection housed in that humble abode is up for auction.

Awww, the RSK is a tribute car, not the real deal. :(

Still, that SPEEDSTER is absolutely alluring.
