Don't know if he built his house around them - it looks a bit more like he moved into the garage!
Definately single!
A few reps in there I'm sure, but still - quite a collection!

Well I am but...
Several of the cars are obviously replicas: The GT40, The Xj13, The XKSS, the 550 Porsche is a bit questionable isn't it? The red roadster is one of those "1750 Alfa Romeos" from the 1970s. The small red/black coupe is nice, a Fiat 8V?

either a J2 or J2X
I beleive the biggest clue is the length of the nose, a J2X being longer, but I can't tell from the photo - sort of thing you need to see the 2 together to tell the difference

Good thing his collection is indoors; anything left outside in Seattle weather would be subject to infestation by the dreaded tinworm.

I must confess I'd never heard of Marrowstone Island; turns out it's W of Seattle, Washington.

Not quite, there's nothing you'd be happy about leaving in a Tesco car park.
