THE NEW COLLECTORS
There are dozens of new collectors around the world, such as Tony Raftis in Australia, Rusty West in the U.S., Bernhard Dransmann in Germany or Mehmet Rustu Basaran in Turkey. Virtually none have any interest in 1950s, ’60s, or ’70s Ferraris.
Raftis is an Australian computer guru who made millions importing IBM equipment. Besides just his supercar stable, he can go even faster in his half–dozen WWII fighters.
West founded Market Scan, which allows dealerships to electronically qualify buyers while they’re test–driving cars. The company delivered 83% of California lease cars last year—about $6 billion in business. He owns one of everything and attends numerous track days.
Dransmann made his fortune in real estate and the family furniture business. He has raced in various pro racing series in Germany including the World Sports Racing Prototypes, driving a turbocharged Ford Escort in the early–mid 1980s. He owns a 288 GTO, F40, F40 LM, F50, Enzo, and FXX.
Mehmet Basaran is chairman and CEO of Anadolubank in Turkey. He’s old money that’s generated new money and owns a 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, Superamerica, McLaren F1, Porsche Carrera GT—more than 80 newer supercars in all.
