    Sultan of Brunei doesn't count since he just buys stuff that never gets driven...I'd say it's a toss up between Ralph Lauren and Nick Mason. Your thoughts?

    Jerry Seinfeld has an amazing collection of P cars. The late Matt Drendel had the ultimate Turbo Race collection.

    Juan Montoya has the F1 car he drove to win Monaco. Any guy can buy a few good cars.

    What about Fred Simeone? Although it's now a museum open to the public, I think it still technically is a private collection. And most of them get driven, at least once in a while.

    I guess the Schlumpf brothers don't count. They don't drive much anymore, being dead and all.

    But their car collection is the absolute best.

    That is pretty amazing.

    I personally love Chris Evans' collection, and Jay Leno's is great, but would be better if he added a few Ferrari's to it.

    Peter Saywell's collection is drool-worthy as well.

    Can't disagree with that!

    And I forgot Ralph Lauren, but he's near the top of any list, of course.

    Maybe it's a silly question but please forgive my ignorance. Who is Peter Saywell?

    Thank you

    Much respect for the Lingenfelters automotive passion, it runs in the family.
