An incredible collection of motors from one owner is heading to auction, including 21 Ferraris, 6 Alfa Romeos and other classic cars all available for prospective gearheads.
The Fritz Neuser collection, run by Artcurial, is due to begin on the 15th March, and is an opportunity to dive into the collection of Olympian-turned-car dealer Fritz Neuser.
Neuser was a cyclist who competed in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics but suffered a crash, demoting him to last place, where he finished.

Later in life, the Olympian took up racing and amassed an impressive collection of sports cars, many of which can be bid on in the upcoming Artcurial-run auction, Whats The Jam reports.
The lot with the highest estimate of £697,000 is the 1970 Ferrari 365 gt/b, with major body and mechanical work on the machine being overseen by Neuser.
Another Ferrari on the auction block is a 1975 Ferrari 365 GTB BB, expected to sell for upwards of £392,000.
Similarly, another Ferrari, the 2006 575 Superamerica, is expected to sell for roughly the same amount.
Neuser’s impressive collection spans 21 different Ferraris, six Alfa Romeos, two Porsches, a Mercedes-Benz, a Jaguar, a Lancia, and even a Chevron race car, highlighting the depth of his racing pedigree.
