Top Secret Car Collections!

[Mike Phillips]

Today we were invited to take a private tour of the car collection owned by Bruce Meyer. Bruce was on hand to talk to Bob McKee and myself as well as Tom Kenny the Director of Operations.

I didn't have time to take notes so when I could I took pictures of documentation around the car to share the story.


This is the number 1 AC Cobra production car owned by Carrol Shelby

This is Tom Kenny sharing the history of this Bentley with Bob McKee during our private tour.







One unique feature about this Bentley is that the sides are covered with leather and maintained with Pinnacle Leather Conditioner.
















Sorry but I didn't get the story on this Ford hotrod...








Didn't get the story on this Bugatti either as we we're towards the end of the tour...

1965 Iso Bizzarrini
This incredibly rare Iso Bizzarrini won its class at Le Mans in 1965 and finished in the Top 10 overall. The car was designed and built by Giotto Bizzarrini. Giotto Bizzarrrini was previously the head race engineer for Ferrari at the time. He left during the Palace Revolt to build his own interpretation of a race car.






















Corvette Engine...

Thanks Mike. Looks like I have to revisit the museum again. It's a great museum.

Being a race boat fan I really enjoyed this classic race boat on display...

It was a real honor to meet Bruce Meyer and get a private tour of his incredible collection of race cars, classics, antiques, motorcycles and this very rare vintage hydroplane.






Anyone want to see more pics?

Awesome pics of some great cars! Do you have any of that Porsche race car in the background? Maybe a 935 or something similar??

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us Mike, & yes, please do share some more . . .

Amazing whats out there, what has survived & been preserved for people to view & enjoy. Some beautiful machinery on display there. Love the race boat & the Iso is a real treat to see. Not alot of people have even heard of an Iso let alone see one in the flesh. Only a few weeks ago We stumbled across two in a motel car park whilst walking home. One Iso coupe & the other a four door saloon - unsure of the models or years but at a guess, they would've been late 60s, early 70s. Beautiful.

Like yourself Mike the boat has my attention. Am I seeing a dual overhead cam supercharged four cylinder from 1929?

Bruce is a great guy and I'm glad he has the means to preserve these historic cars.

The Porsche is a Kremer. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Bruce traded the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum an historic early Indy car they wanted for the museum for this car.

I think the black roadster is the historic Doane Spencer car. Early and important hot rod from the '50's.
