**A Night with David Lee: Behind the Wheel of Rare and Exotic Cars**

I had the pleasure of spending an evening with David Lee, a car enthusiast who has a deep passion for rare and exotic vehicles. As we set out on our adventure, David mentioned that he's been eyeing a certain model, which he believes is worth around $50-55 million. This sparked a conversation about the value of such high-end cars, particularly one with racing heritage and limited production.

**The Enzo Revival**

As we visited various car collections and exhibitions, we came across a rare Enzo Ferrari that caught our attention. David expressed his enthusiasm for this iconic car, stating that it's definitely worth the investment. With only 36 units produced, this car is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The rarity and racing heritage of the Enzo make it one of the most valuable cars in the world.

**FX XK and Track-Only Cars**

David also mentioned his interest in track-only cars like the FX XK, which are designed specifically for high-performance driving on closed circuits. These cars offer an exhilarating experience for drivers who crave speed and adrenaline. As we discussed the merits of such cars, David shared his own experiences with various road cars, including exhibitions and concourses.

**Concours and Exhibitions**

David's passion for car culture extends to events like concourses and exhibitions, where rare and exotic vehicles are on display. These events provide a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to connect with others who share their interest in high-performance vehicles. As we attended various events, David shared his enthusiasm for meeting other vloggers and enthusiasts, highlighting the importance of community in the car enthusiast world.

**The Pagani**

As we explored different cars, including the Pagani Huayra, David expressed a preference for certain models over others. The Pagani is known for its exceptional design and engineering, making it a coveted choice among collectors and enthusiasts. With only 20 units produced, this car is highly sought after by those who value exclusivity and craftsmanship.

**Dashboard Inspection**

David offered to take us on a test drive in the Pagani Huayra, which we eagerly accepted. As we inspected the dashboard, David noted its exceptional design and features, including an F1 mode that shifts gear automatically. The Pagani's dashboard is a testament to the car's exceptional engineering and attention to detail.

**Choosing Between Cars**

As we stood at the entrance of the Pagani's showroom, David was faced with a difficult decision: choosing between two rare and exotic cars. After some deliberation, he decided to take us for a ride in one of them. As we drove away, David shared his thoughts on the importance of shifting gears manually versus having an automatic mode.

**The P1 Chauffeur**

After our drive, we were treated to a chauffeured ride in a McLaren P1, courtesy of a personal driver who would transport us home safely and efficiently. This was a unique experience that allowed us to appreciate the luxurious side of owning such high-performance vehicles.

**Mclaren Event and Aftermath**

Our evening concluded with an exclusive visit to a Mclaren event at a beautiful mansion in Beverly Hills. We were greeted by stunning scenery, rare cars, and exceptional hospitality. As we explored the premises, David expressed his gratitude for the experience and shared his thoughts on the value of such high-end vehicles.

**Conclusion**

As our evening drew to a close, David reflected on the incredible experiences he had shared with us. From the Enzo Ferrari to the Pagani Huayra, each car offered a unique perspective on exclusivity, craftsmanship, and performance. Our night with David Lee was a testament to the passion and enthusiasm of car enthusiasts worldwide.

**Mclaren Showcase**

As we concluded our visit to the Mclaren showroom, David mentioned that the carbon series 675 LT is one of only 25 produced, some of which feature an additional heat shield in gold, which increases the value. The entire car, including all modifications made by the owner, makes the value about double what a normal 675 LT would go for.

**Farewell and Final Thoughts**

As we bid farewell to David Lee, he expressed his gratitude for the evening's events and shared his enthusiasm for sharing his passion with others. We were left with a lasting impression of the importance of community and the joy that rare and exotic cars bring to enthusiasts worldwide.

into a small circle right yeah thank you so much for having us no thanks for coming to valerie oh yeah yeah yeah so my first question to you is does this ever get old or does it is it just as exciting every time you walk down it's it's just as exciting really you know i come down i said wow is this really my garage i would feel the same way yeah it's pretty it's pretty cool it's pretty cool what's the last one you bought is it in here at the moment yeah well it's over here uh this one the 66 275 gps that i bought at the auction oh yes the cool thing about this car because you know i'm into the new and the classic so yeah this is a unrestored 275 gts that means it has never been painted and never been an uh interior have never been done never so this car qualifies for a lot of the preservation awards uh classes there's about 199 of these and i've had one that's restored before that i've told i've never in in knowledge of knowing other people know that there's an unrestored to certified tts really so you think this might actually be the only one could be the only one has it been and mechanically of course everything is original too a lot of people have it and they don't drive it it doesn't work you know it can look nice yeah but it doesn't work yeah but this one is a one that worked and also was original i'm very excited about this because it just you know it puts you in a different level like when i go to camera i can feel the excitement coming up it like emanates off you you cannot stop looking at this guy like do the awards mean anything to you i mean really or is this really it does yeah yeah because you're you know i mean i was a judge this year so i got to be a judge which was very exciting and i see that it's it's really a great process right and to win in that process it's really not easy i mean they're very key on the cars they accept people that win i mean it's really exceptional cars so then when you win you feel like wow you know i mean to be there you already feel like you made one cut sure but to win it's like you're already another cut and you drive up to the podium and thousands and thousands of people are sharing it's just like you know that's pretty cool really what's your like five seconds of faith you know this is like accomplished they've already accepted my application for this car for next year for concourse elegance in pebble beach in the preservation class and i think it has a good chance he thinks he's already got it in the back i don't know i'm hoping we know i'm positive i'm just being positive ferrari collector david lee first name ferrari collector last name david but how do the porsches feel about being ignored when it comes to your you know well-known name ferrari collector why isn't it you know uh mclaren collector david lee or lamborghini collected why why ferrari what's yeah well you know i mean four years ago i've always been in the cars and i've had porsches and lamborghinis and ferraris before but four years ago i just felt like um i had something that happened that i said you know i'm going to really go hardcore into just collecting ferraris so at that time i did sell everything and and i just started to really collect ferraris so you sold all your like mccarran like lamborghini well yeah yeah i had a career gt i had a lavender the album 6-0 yeah so i sold those and i had an enzo and then from the enzo i started collecting the rest of the supercars okay so the enzo was really your first baby yeah first really baby in the collection i just wanted to be um focus on ferrari kind of be a specialist in collective ferrari okay and and to have ferrari also notice that and then you kind of expanded from there so once you've gotten a lot of ferrari yeah you know i feel that once i've accomplished and what i try to do with ferrari collecting i saw the beauty of course from the 350 got this 1958 356 um speedster which is a originally black so so that was very weird not a lot of them did have black so this has been restored though this has been next door but it was originally black warm or silver and other colors so that's kind of a really 100 point car then like mclaren and and other porsche 918 of the p1 gtr right street legal one things like that i just feel like it's okay to have a little bit of those other roles you know just a little bit do people only recognize you when you're driving ferraris like you could be driving in 9-1-8 you're like i'm pretty sure a lot of people on the on the freeway you know here in california freeway they they see me and they're like yeah you know they they're waving and cheering back when they see my cars they're like the first thing they think of they would leave got to be around now there's one thing that i thought might be interesting to ask you and it's more about like being very well known on social media do you get hate oh yeah yeah of course yes of course you get haters i feel like we can bomb those yes all of us that have a lot of followers you're gonna get hate it's interesting to have a understanding of social media behavior and also kind of the people out there in the world because it seems like social media just allows you to be uninhibited to say whatever is on your mind it's true which in the real world you can't i think whoever that's new into social media will take it more serious right because they're not used to all this how it works yeah and how how much people you normally don't get that much here you know i never get it you know but but like you go and switch me sunday they're hating you for this or that you know you just got to get used to it so just lastly if you were to come down here today how does it work you have all your keys with you and you just go this one well is it a particular feeling that you take a camera well it's almost the same question as people ask me what's your favorite car yeah you know what's your favorite car that's too difficult yeah it's too difficult because all of my favorite cars they all cost a lot of money but so it's not going to be like ah you know just buy one it's not like because i think some of the friends you know and why they can just buy it like it's candy or something i mean you know i i i appreciate the expense of the car yeah you know it costs a lot so each one you have to make a decision like like a real decision like you're buying a house or anything it's a real decision so i everyone i like equally because it's it took that kind of thought process and you know the way i collect it's i'm not into the quantity i'm more in the quality so i have less cars but they're h1r important cars so it comes down to i guess the the event the venue that i'm going to okay right in other words if i was going to a beach area i would take one probably a casa convertible okay if i was going to a car show that people kind of want to see something special you might take like the pagani or whatever right so let me run through four different venues all right the movies the movies and i would take probably the uh gtc for luso even if it's a chucky chan movie yes okay all right so you've got your run about car and that's the gtc yeah okay now if you were going to go to out for dinner with your family i'd probably take the uh my don you know the uh because you can fit four people you might not even be worried that the valley can drive it too true yeah because you have to worry about that in some aspects right to work uh everything work every day um that would also probably be like a gtc yeah i've got one i've got one yeah what if you went for take away chassiufan without with a tongshi light which one okay well that's uh that's a good one that's a good one um let me see here maybe maybe i'll take the uh the ttf my tdf you know because because you you you know you want you don't want to um have have to drive stick and also holding your line shop right and uh and stuff so you sort this one through okay but no love for the f40 yet where would you take a car like that it could be some mountain driving that allows you to get used to the stick shift and the heel and toe kind of driving but not too competitive where you have to perform but you want to have a little bit more fun you can't just go straight you don't want to be left behind yeah you got to win at the alliance right yeah if people come to la and they're like i really want to spot david lee i'm going david lee spotting where's the best place to maybe run into david lee where do you go for lunch where'd he go for dinner right right where can people see you well i mean you know for sure my car events cars and chronicles right the the third saturday every month in my plaza so in my plaza and my store you know i'm there a lot of times otoro you know where my sushi restaurant that that's i'm there a lot you know then the beverly hills there's a lot of car spotters there so whenever i come and i park right there and they kind of know okay and so those are you know good places so just hang out at beverly hills yeah now this car is especially in the fact that i'm the third owner you know and so you talk about 1967 for 50 year old car to be the third owner it's really rare yeah because the owner before me had it for 49 years so that's i think probably the longest history of one person owning um a four cam i bet he cried a little bit when he sold it yeah yeah yeah he did he did but i said i'll be a good steward yeah i'll take care of it for the next generation you know so he was happy that i was the one there's a point rating when they judge it right there's platinum and then there's gold and you know silver so this is a platinum car and it's the best of show car which means in in let's say in the concourse of 150 cars being judged this was the most outstanding car and they gave it the best of show car so this i'm very i'm very proud of this one well i'm glad i asked you he would be like well i spoke to this girl for an hour she didn't even ask me about my baby she's not coming back on the point of the 250 gto i was just quickly because we saw this in dubai at the concourse there at the virgil arab and it was going for something like 65 million 50 or 55 around that mark what are your thoughts on that car and you know something like that worth that much money to you right that car is definitely worth the investment you know if people have the money to buy that if they buy it that would be probably one of the first hundred million dollar cars i believe because of its racing heritage it's because of the rarity it was like 36 made and everybody i guess is a consensus that everybody loves that's why everybody's why it's worth so much okay and the fx xk talking of tracker only cars yeah those are those are just trackable cars right as you know uh i don't have epic right now although although i have time i don't i still don't have that much time to do that i'm right now i'm just having a lot of fun with road cars having you know exhibitions and and going to concourse and driving the cars and doing all these things i mean i'm i'm having a lot of fun with cars and meeting with vloggers yeah yeah that's his favorite yeah exactly all right we're getting all these cars out of the way so that we can place the enzo in the middle so that i can drive it uh wow yelling over the engine unlike the current cars that have an auto mode and an f1 mode that you can change to this one only has an f1 so you know this is off shift and this is downstream yeah cool so we might want to move the pagani out of the way okay look at this dashboard this is insane so what do you think which one should i take which one should you take all right let's go with the other one okay let's do it all right jump in david let's go for a ride foreign wow just flick that put it into into first gear and then down here is reverse so you press that and then i'll come up reverse here that's cool this looks like from from star trek or something yeah my ferrari door is a lot heavier than that that's cool which one do you enjoy more actually i mean what i'm trying to achieve yeah you know if i was really trying to do a performance situation and i wanted to be more assisted with the because that has all the computers to assist you to make you you know do that more confidently yeah and then once you get into this one there's really a lot less a system and and you know you're gonna have to shift yourself you feel like you're all more driving the car yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean just depends what kind of experience i'm looking for yeah yeah yeah oh my goodness okay so david needs to re-park the enzo he said can you help me repark it with the angles he said i don't want to hit my f1 that is like total first world problems i don't want to hit the f1 with my enzo i love it what an awesome day with david lee and to top it all off we're just heading to a mclaren event here in beverly hills it's in a beautiful suburb at a mansion so we're going to hang out with mclaren tonight and the windsor house that's where we are and here are some mclarens outside let's go in through the secret garden secret garden door i'd love to know you know is this double the cost of a normal 675 let's say that's in the range the customer actually is quite um modest about expressing the actual cost and we respect that but i would say that that would be a fair indication and i think going forward this car is so rare and beautiful and tastefully executed that i think this plan is going to really do well the car behind me is a super special car as i'm sure you can see this is one of 25 carbon series 675 lts and some blue which i'm sure you have not seen before now the heat shield is something special he's added this in gold heat shield that costs about and the entire car everything that this owner has done to it makes the value about double of what a normal 675 lt would go for which is just incredible this is how you end the night chauffeured in a p1 he's my uber driver there you go all right we'll see you back at the showroom all right just arriving back at the mclaren showroom thank you very much for the ride my pleasure very carefully out don't want to scrape your heels on the carbon fiber so that's it that's the end of the night just got escorted home in this p1

through the secret garden secret garden door i'd love to know you know is this double the cost of a normal 675 let's say that's in the range the customer actually is quite um modest about expressing the actual cost and we respect that but i would say that that would be a fair indication and i think going forward this car is so rare and beautiful and tastefully executed that i think this plan is going to really do well the car behind me is a super special car as i'm sure you can see this is one of 25 carbon series 675 lts and some blue which i'm sure you have not seen before now the heat shield is something special he's added this in gold heat shield that costs about and the entire car everything that this owner has done to it makes the value about double of what a normal 675 lt would go for which is just incredible this is how you end the night chauffeured in a p1 he's my uber driver there you go all right we'll see you back at the showroom all right just arriving back at the mclaren showroom thank you very much for the ride my pleasure very carefully out don't want to scrape your heels on the carbon fiber so that's it that's the end of the night just got escorted home in

and we'll see you on the next vlog thanks guys byeoh what's up guys this is blondie welcome to another vlog just about to go and meet ferrari collector david lee hugely famous in the car world i'm excited to see his collection check this out we have just walked into david lee's private garage to see his collection take a look around how cool is this we're just waiting on him now he's going to come down shortly and then we can have a chat and i can ask him everything that i want to know might be here for like five six hours we're gonna have a bit of a chat find out about his cars what ones he likes best what he uses as a daily drive how often he would for example take his la ferrari or his enzo out or his f50 or his f40 howard have you noticed we're in here alone is that crazy just like wandering around checking out the cars look at this jewelry blueberry for you to choose oh this is a girl's dream right now i'm surrounded by ferraris and i'm getting jewelry delivered on the table i the whole world into a small circle right yeah thank you so much for having us no thanks for coming to valerie oh yeah yeah yeah so my first question to you is does this ever get old or does it is it just as exciting every time you walk down it's it's just as exciting really you know i come down i said wow is this really my garage i would feel the same way yeah it's pretty it's pretty cool it's pretty cool what's the last one you bought is it in here at the moment yeah well it's over here uh this one the 66 275 gps that i bought at the auction oh yes the cool thing about this car because you know i'm into the new and the classic so yeah this is a unrestored 275 gts that means it has never been painted and never been an uh interior have never been done never so this car qualifies for a lot of the preservation awards uh classes there's about 199 of these and i've had one that's restored before that i've told i've never in in knowledge of knowing other people know that there's an unrestored to certified tts really so you think this might actually be the only one could be the only one has it been and mechanically of course everything is original too a lot of people have it and they don't drive it it doesn't work you know it can look nice yeah but it doesn't work yeah but this one is a one that worked and also was original i'm very excited about this because it just you know it puts you in a different level like when i go to camera i can feel the excitement coming up it like emanates off you you cannot stop looking at this guy like do the awards mean anything to you i mean really or is this really it does yeah yeah because you're you know i mean i was a judge this year so i got to be a judge which was very exciting and i see that it's it's really a great process right and to win in that process it's really not easy i mean they're very key on the cars they accept people that win i mean it's really exceptional cars so then when you win you feel like wow you know i mean to be there you already feel like you made one cut sure but to win it's like you're already another cut and you drive up to the podium and thousands and thousands of people are sharing it's just like you know that's pretty cool really what's your like five seconds of faith you know this is like accomplished they've already accepted my application for this car for next year for concourse elegance in pebble beach in the preservation class and i think it has a good chance he thinks he's already got it in the back i don't know i'm hoping we know i'm positive i'm just being positive ferrari collector david lee first name ferrari collector last name david but how do the porsches feel about being ignored when it comes to your you know well-known name ferrari collector why isn't it you know uh mclaren collector david lee or lamborghini collected why why ferrari what's yeah well you know i mean four years ago i've always been in the cars and i've had porsches and lamborghinis and ferraris before but four years ago i just felt like um i had something that happened that i said you know i'm going to really go hardcore into just collecting ferraris so at that time i did sell everything and and i just started to really collect ferraris so you sold all your like mccarran like lamborghini well yeah yeah i had a career gt i had a lavender the album 6-0 yeah so i sold those and i had an enzo and then from the enzo i started collecting the rest of the supercars okay so the enzo was really your first baby yeah first really baby in the collection i just wanted to be um focus on ferrari kind of be a specialist in collective ferrari okay and and to have ferrari also notice that and then you kind of expanded from there so once you've gotten a lot of ferrari yeah you know i feel that once i've accomplished and what i try to do with ferrari collecting i saw the beauty of course from the 350 got this 1958 356 um speedster which is a originally black so so that was very weird not a lot of them did have black so this has been restored though this has been next door but it was originally black warm or silver and other colors so that's kind of a really 100 point car then like mclaren and and other porsche 918 of the p1 gtr right street legal one things like that i just feel like it's okay to have a little bit of those other roles you know just a little bit do people only recognize you when you're driving ferraris like you could be driving in 9-1-8 you're like i'm pretty sure a lot of people on the on the freeway you know here in california freeway they they see me and they're like yeah you know they they're waving and cheering back when they see my cars they're like the first thing they think of they would leave got to be around now there's one thing that i thought might be interesting to ask you and it's more about like being very well known on social media do you get hate oh yeah yeah of course yes of course you get haters i feel like we can bomb those yes all of us that have a lot of followers you're gonna get hate it's interesting to have a understanding of social media behavior and also kind of the people out there in the world because it seems like social media just allows you to be uninhibited to say whatever is on your mind it's true which in the real world you can't i think whoever that's new into social media will take it more serious right because they're not used to all this how it works yeah and how how much people you normally don't get that much here you know i never get it you know but but like you go and switch me sunday they're hating you for this or that you know you just got to get used to it so just lastly if you were to come down here today how does it work you have all your keys with you and you just go this one well is it a particular feeling that you take a camera well it's almost the same question as people ask me what's your favorite car yeah you know what's your favorite car that's too difficult yeah it's too difficult because all of my favorite cars they all cost a lot of money but so it's not going to be like ah you know just buy one it's not like because i think some of the friends you know and why they can just buy it like it's candy or something i mean you know i i i appreciate the expense of the car yeah you know it costs a lot so each one you have to make a decision like like a real decision like you're buying a house or anything it's a real decision so i everyone i like equally because it's it took that kind of thought process and you know the way i collect it's i'm not into the quantity i'm more in the quality so i have less cars but they're h1r important cars so it comes down to i guess the the event the venue that i'm going to okay right in other words if i was going to a beach area i would take one probably a casa convertible okay if i was going to a car show that people kind of want to see something special you might take like the pagani or whatever right so let me run through four different venues all right the movies the movies and i would take probably the uh gtc for luso even if it's a chucky chan movie yes okay all right so you've got your run about car and that's the gtc yeah okay now if you were going to go to out for dinner with your family i'd probably take the uh my don you know the uh because you can fit four people you might not even be worried that the valley can drive it too true yeah because you have to worry about that in some aspects right to work uh everything work every day um that would also probably be like a gtc yeah i've got one i've got one yeah what if you went for take away chassiufan without with a tongshi light which one okay well that's uh that's a good one that's a good one um let me see here maybe maybe i'll take the uh the ttf my tdf you know because because you you you know you want you don't want to um have have to drive stick and also holding your line shop right and uh and stuff so you sort this one through okay but no love for the f40 yet where would you take a car like that it could be some mountain driving that allows you to get used to the stick shift and the heel and toe kind of driving but not too competitive where you have to perform but you want to have a little bit more fun you can't just go straight you don't want to be left behind yeah you got to win at the alliance right yeah if people come to la and they're like i really want to spot david lee i'm going david lee spotting where's the best place to maybe run into david lee where do you go for lunch where'd he go for dinner right right where can people see you well i mean you know for sure my car events cars and chronicles right the the third saturday every month in my plaza so in my plaza and my store you know i'm there a lot of times otoro you know where my sushi restaurant that that's i'm there a lot you know then the beverly hills there's a lot of car spotters there so whenever i come and i park right there and they kind of know okay and so those are you know good places so just hang out at beverly hills yeah now this car is especially in the fact that i'm the third owner you know and so you talk about 1967 for 50 year old car to be the third owner it's really rare yeah because the owner before me had it for 49 years so that's i think probably the longest history of one person owning um a four cam i bet he cried a little bit when he sold it yeah yeah yeah he did he did but i said i'll be a good steward yeah i'll take care of it for the next generation you know so he was happy that i was the one there's a point rating when they judge it right there's platinum and then there's gold and you know silver so this is a platinum car and it's the best of show car which means in in let's say in the concourse of 150 cars being judged this was the most outstanding car and they gave it the best of show car so this i'm very i'm very proud of this one well i'm glad i asked you he would be like well i spoke to this girl for an hour she didn't even ask me about my baby she's not coming back on the point of the 250 gto i was just quickly because we saw this in dubai at the concourse there at the virgil arab and it was going for something like 65 million 50 or 55 around that mark what are your thoughts on that car and you know something like that worth that much money to you right that car is definitely worth the investment you know if people have the money to buy that if they buy it that would be probably one of the first hundred million dollar cars i believe because of its racing heritage it's because of the rarity it was like 36 made and everybody i guess is a consensus that everybody loves that's why everybody's why it's worth so much okay and the fx xk talking of tracker only cars yeah those are those are just trackable cars right as you know uh i don't have epic right now although although i have time i don't i still don't have that much time to do that i'm right now i'm just having a lot of fun with road cars having you know exhibitions and and going to concourse and driving the cars and doing all these things i mean i'm i'm having a lot of fun with cars and meeting with vloggers yeah yeah that's his favorite yeah exactly all right we're getting all these cars out of the way so that we can place the enzo in the middle so that i can drive it uh wow yelling over the engine unlike the current cars that have an auto mode and an f1 mode that you can change to this one only has an f1 so you know this is off shift and this is downstream yeah cool so we might want to move the pagani out of the way okay look at this dashboard this is insane so what do you think which one should i take which one should you take all right let's go with the other one okay let's do it all right jump in david let's go for a ride foreign wow just flick that put it into into first gear and then down here is reverse so you press that and then i'll come up reverse here that's cool this looks like from from star trek or something yeah my ferrari door is a lot heavier than that that's cool which one do you enjoy more actually i mean what i'm trying to achieve yeah you know if i was really trying to do a performance situation and i wanted to be more assisted with the because that has all the computers to assist you to make you you know do that more confidently yeah and then once you get into this one there's really a lot less a system and and you know you're gonna have to shift yourself you feel like you're all more driving the car yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean just depends what kind of experience i'm looking for yeah yeah yeah oh my goodness okay so david needs to re-park the enzo he said can you help me repark it with the angles he said i don't want to hit my f1 that is like total first world problems i don't want to hit the f1 with my enzo i love it what an awesome day with david lee and to top it all off we're just heading to a mclaren event here in beverly hills it's in a beautiful suburb at a mansion so we're going to hang out with mclaren tonight and the windsor house that's where we are and here are some mclarens outside let's go in
