Millions of Dollars Worth of Rare Cars

While some people enjoy collecting spoons, others enjoy collecting comic novels. Additionally, collecting the most costly and unusual cars on the planet might be a way for some people to pass the time. Someone was doing that in the UK's charmingly called village of Over Peover, where they had amassed a collection of rare vehicles from manufacturers including Aston Martin, McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari. In reality, one of the vehicles was an incredibly rare Ferrari LaFerrari with a standalone value of almost $1.6 million. There were only 499 cars produced in total. Some are currently for sale for less than $4 million.

The fact that someone else burned them all to ash is more significant than the fact that there are cars with values higher than most people will ever earn in a lifetime. There were 80 unique automobiles total in the collection, which was kept in two sheds close to a barn. Furthermore, someone intentionally started the fire, so their loss was not an accident.

According to reports, one unnamed vehicle alone was worth $4 million. No information has been released regarding the arsonist's identity or the total cost of the cars that were destroyed, but given that there were 80 vehicles destroyed, including the rare Jaguar XJ220 and the Aston Martin Zagato, it is safe to assume that the total loss was in the tens of millions
