September 1992 - Stunning red 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 G.T. at Paul Terry's Extravaganza Vintage Car Museum, Esplanade Hotel, Middleton Beach, Albany
IMAGE INFO
- The Extravaganza Motor Museum was briefly part of the re-developed Esplanade Hotel after the original Hotel was demolished in 1990 by controversial entrepreneur Paul Terry, who had a dream to build a 5-star boutique, colonial-style hotel with bar and restaurant. It also had a separate building called the Extravaganza; it housed a few shops and a vintage car museum (the museum was later closed in 1993 due to Paul Terry's death and the collection was sold as too was the hotel). In 2006 plans were made to demolish the Esplanade and surrounding buildings for a new modern apartment hotel. The Extravaganza building and adjoining units were demolished in early December while the existing hotel was demolished in early 2007. The controversial move resulted in mass protest, and the site lies empty to this day. The Singaporean investors responsible put the hotel site back on the market in 2010. In November 2014, the site was sold to LandCorp for $7 million.
