I spoke to someone who has seen this collection and to be honest I thought they we exaggerating, looks like the weren't.

Amazing but too big for a private collection IMO.

I'd rather have around 10 that you could drive and enjoy regularly.

Shows what can be achieved in life.

As the chap says "I'm a collector" so it is a collection for collecting's sake rather than for driving or displaying to others - probably why they are being sold as a job lot rather than individually.

Health problems and it's got too big to manage.

There used to be a plaque, but it was removed.

no way 100 millions maybe 10 at most.

Nice cars but much better to be used than parked up.

best sell them before they start to decay

He's been amassing his collection for 80 years, how old was he when he started? -20?

That's not what the article says.

[Rollcage]

Good way of generating publicity though, stating it's £100m worth!

Also a good way of not trying too hard to sell it as well.
