Took a drive out this afternoon with Andy and Brian to visit a petrolhead who had some b/n 75 rims for sale.... I had previously been made aware of some of the contents of his collection but was fairly mind blown by the time we left. Didn't get many snaps but hopefully Andy will get some more at the weekend.
Sub 1000 mile 75 1.8t

1019 mile V8



Part of his bike collection all with only a few thousand miles on the clocks..






He also has 3 low mileage E Types in pristine original condition, Jenson Interceptor amongst many others..

Amazing to think collections like this exist. That V8 engine bay is mint (well, I suppose it would be with that mileage). Must have been a real treat looking around the vehicles.

That's probably an understatement



Just thought i'd add a blown up image of the mileage as it's difficult to see in the original

Classic collections are currently a better investment than banks! I prefer to keep just one and use it but each to their own. Over the years I have met many collectors of various things that tend to seek their "Grail" and then it just sits, often because it is "too good to use every day"!
