"The market is very active at the moment," acquisitions consultant for Ferrari dealer DK Engineering in Hertfordshire, England, James Cottingtham said. "A lot of new buyers are expanding their collections and the baby-boomer generation of collectors has reached an age when they're not using their cars as much as they used to. They want to sell."
