If you are ever near Cape Town the Franschoek Motor Museum at L'Ormarins wine farm is well worth a visit.
They have 80 cars on display (a further 300 are stored separately) in 4 large purpose built halls. Very classy with tiled floors and classical music playing in the background.
When I visited last week Hall 1 displayed prewar cars (including 3 Bugattis) , Hall 2 was various Mercedes through the ages, Hall 3 was some more ordinary post WW2 war family and sports cars (Jag, Austin Healy etc) and also newer sports cars including examples of Mclaren F1 and M6 GT.
Hall 4 displayed some very significant sports and race cars including an ex Fangio Maserati 250 F, ex Jody Scheckter F1 Tyrrell, no less than 10 Ferraris, an ex Le Mans Jag D type and an ex Le Mans GT 40, (will post pics of the latter on another thread).
And with wine tasting and good food in a Deli even the wife will enjoy the visit.
Cheers

P.S - A while ago their were a few on here talking about M6GT replicas, I have a few detail pics of the M6GT I can post if required.
