Family Inherits Field of Forgotten Ferraris

A lawyer in Texas that also happened to be a car collector left behind a field of 13 Ferraris and other collectible cars after passing away of a serious illness several years ago. Previously he had put them into a rented warehouse, but after a missed payment due to being ill, the cars were moved to a nearby field. Among the beauties are a Testarossa, a 308 Quattrovalve, three 348s and other models.

Legal red tape caused the cars to remain in the field while the estate was processed, and by the time the vehicles were recovered they were in poor condition. Four of the documented cars – 2 Ferraris and 2 Rolls-Royces – are unaccounted for and are still have not been found.

Were they kept in good condition, the collection would likely have been worth over $1 million, but with the help of the organizer of an annual Ferrari Festival in Houston, Paul Cox, the family has quietly been able to find new homes for most of the cars with people who plan to bring them back to life.
