Legendary drummer, Nick Mason, and his wife Anette showed off the impressive collection ahead of opening up the gardens of his 18th century home to visitors this weekend.
A rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO took pride of place among the collection as its one of only 36 ever built.
It's understood Mason paid £37k for it back in 1978 but it is estimated to be worth over £40 million today.
The car finished third in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours race before he bought it and has never been restored.
His fleet of rare Ferraris also includes the 512S which featured in the making of Steve McQueen's Le Mans before it was badly damaged by fire and then completely restored.
Others on display included an F40, a GTB/4 Daytona, 1953 Ferrari 250MM, and a LaFerrari hybrid.
It is estimated there are 40 sports cars in his garage worth a total of around £200 million.
Other rare vehicles include a 1901 Panhard 5-liter, a 1927 Bugatti Type 35B, a 1957 Maserati 250F, a Birdcage Maserati, a 1955 Jaguar D-Type and a 1996 McLaren F1 GTR.
He also owns several Aston Martins including an Ulster, and an LM17, LM18 and LM21.
Mason hosted the Middlewick House Open Garden this weekend that saw thousands attend and admire his stunning collection of vehicles.

The annual event in Corsham, Wiltshire, is a favourite among car aficionados and owners of Jaguars, Ferraris, Aston Martins, and more, who bring their vehicles to complement Mr Mason's collection.
Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust, one of the charities that benefit from the event, described it as a "Mecca for car clubs and owners of Jaguars, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lotus, Maclarens, Bugattis and Porsches."
The event's other beneficiary, Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance, said more than 10,000 tickets have already been sold for the open garden and the attendance record is expected to be smashed this year.
Last year, more than 11,000 people attended, raising a whopping £124,000 for charity.
As well as the extensive car collection, guests were also able to view the air ambulance's Bell 429 helicopter with its operation aircrew due to be on-site to give people a closer look.
The event also featured stalls manned by local artisans and food vendors, as well as live music, children's activities, and a play area.
The event's website said: "Wander around the beautiful gardens and menagerie of animals, as well as seeing a selection of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's classic and high performance cars.
"The family-friendly weekend includes plenty of stalls to browse, with lots of items for sale, including jewellery, plants, candles, and art."
And if you haven't had enough of car collections, F1 star Lando Norris lifted the lid on his luxury car collection last month.
It includes an ultra-rare £2 million Lamborghini and iconic £1 million Ferrari.
