50 classic Porsches and Ferraris are on the tennis hall

This collection of 50 Porsches and Ferraris was found on a dust-covered indoor tennis court.

The collection is extensive and includes some impressive models.

How exactly did these cars come to be abandoned in Hamburg, Germany?

Benjamin David, founder of David Finest Sports Cars, investigated the matter.

The backstory of this collection of Porsches and Ferraris left on a tennis court

It all started in 2008, in the middle of the global recession.

A businessman imported the cars from California to Germany hoping to make a profit.

With Americans selling their luxury cars because the real estate market collapsed, this businessman hoped to do something with them.

The plan was to restore her inexpensively in Eastern Europe and then sell her at a profit.

However, the restoration process proved more expensive than expected and the cars were eventually disposed of.

They were gathering dust until today, when David was able to take a closer look at them.

But first he convinced the owners to sell them all to him.

A risky move considering they have been inactive for well over a decade.

But what exactly is a decade?

We’ve seen cars that have sat for much longer, like this 1930 Chevrolet that hasn’t been modified since 1954.

Luckily for him, most of the cars were in excellent condition.

It is not known how much was paid for the whole thing, but it is said to be in the seven-figure range.

The fleet includes 14 Porsche 911s, 28 Mercedes-Benz SL/SLCs and a few Ferrari 328 GTSs.

David’s plan is to sell these cars as is as he believes potential owners will want to see the history of the car.

Most vehicles are believed to be in good working order, but some could use an inspection.

And most importantly, the cars are not as expensive as you might think.

The cheapest Porsche 911 costs $40,000, which is pretty high by any estimate.

It’s definitely a lot cheaper than this Australian supercar that was once considered the most expensive in the world.
