Staggering in its breadth and quality, this beautiful collection is unquestionably one of the finest private collections of automobiles ever gathered by a single owner. Oscar Davis was a singular enthusiast that built a global reputation, known for acquiring some of the most impeccable examples of the world’s finest cars, beautifully maintained and presented, and with unmatched provenance.
The primary focus of the collection centers around the great Italian marques, with many of the finest examples of Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Maserati, all featured within his beautifully curated collection.
With its emphasis on fine European cars, you will find Maseratis, Alfa Romeos, and multiple historically significant Ferraris, including a 1953 Ferrari 375MM Spider.
