I went about 10 years ago to a charity event in conjunction with Mercedes. I can only assume that Mercedes somehow influenced what was on public display. It was heavily dominated by Lindsay's Merc collection with only a smattering of Ferraris, Jags, Porches and other cars.
Fortunately a few of us got a personal tour of the workshops where they had all the other stuff tucked away that Mercedes presumably didn't want to steal the lime light. In addition to all the cars they were working on, there was among other things, an F40, F50 and and a Jag XJR-15, which the curator started up for us. What a sound! The lucky bugger got a drive it once a month as he did all the cars, just to keep them fresh.
Maybe closer to the time you should contact them and give them some sob story and see if you can swing a private visit. Nothing to lose.
