Well that looks like a fun collection! Someone has a nice toy box.
Those Spit's are beauties. Love the red over silver one.

Nice toy box full of shiny stuff! I never realized that the USN operated L.39s though. 
The Duxford end of the operation was terminated some years back. Does he still have anything left in Kissimmee? I understood that he had now moved out from there too.

Nice aircraft, but I'll have to deduct point for the Suzuki with a Mercedes grille badge.
Either a poser of the worst sort...or someone with an odd sense of humor.
That might be guessed by someone with a red E-Type and a BRG Stingray (the colors should be switched).

I had completely forgotten about that red & silver Mk.XIV - nice to see it still in those markings. I had noticed the sale of Tom's P-51D "Slender, Tender & Tall" last year, which he had owned since 1999, which may have been the last aircraft of his with any attachment to Kissimmee.

It may be a Merzuki? I had to Google it myself.

I'd love rides in the Spitfires, the Bronco and drive the E Type and TC.

I thought the '67 Vette was black.
'67 Vettes look best in Marina Blue or Milano Maroon.

I'm not sure if its a Suzuki or a Geo Tracker, they are basically the same. I think its used a a tug with a Pintle hook in the front and rear.
I believe he actually has a second Bronco in a "box". This Bronco shown was recently gone through by Stallion 51, which Mr. Blair is also involved with business wise. I'm not sure to what degree or how much.

I should mention, I don't know the stories on all of the cars but I know the one white Mercedes in the back was errol flynn's. I believe Mr. Blair has a rather large since of humor, from what I hear.
