Obviously, the collector has a thing for Ford GTs. I'll speculate that he/she wanted to own more than anyone else - perhaps a Ford dealer's collection?
There are people that I know that will only buy Porsches, nothing else.
I, on the other hand, like to have a variety of automotive and driving experiences, but to each their own.
(not to say I could afford such collections)

The GT was certainly a car done right. It provided impressive looks, performance and was reportedly great to drive. The combination of exotic (the bespoke chassis) and every day (a motor based on the mod-V8s) was pulled off perfectly. It also was taken off the market at it's peak rather than after it had been eclipsed by newer models.

Suspension breakage issues aside?

I can say that Ford GT's are over-represented at track days around here. There's always one or two showing up at BIR for track days. And they are driven to the track, unlike a lot of the cars that show up. The guy who owns that warehouse appears to have cornered the market for a car owners seem to prefer to drive than park. Never see a Ferrari or Lamborghini at the racetrack but I see them on the street more often than a Ford GT around here.

That door desig still bothers me, otherwise awesome cars. I remember clarkson having issues with his, yet gt500 owners dont seem to have that issue, but then my knowledge on these cars is limited.
