Great machine, great collector. National Geographic did a special on his collection being exhibited at the Boston Museum of Fine Art. I think it's since been shown in Paris as well. It's a pity that collections like these aren't able to be viewed by the general public more often - or at least the enthusiast public. I bumped into Jay Leno at the Monterey Historics races a few years ago and was so surprised to see him so close that I didn't ask him the question I've always wanted to - why not open your collection to visitors? I understand the difficulties of opening to the general public, but why hide these wonderful machines from well-meaning enthusiasts?
I guess there's always Monterey Car Week, Goodwood, etc...
Anyway, I love how they mention his Murcielago - as though that's an important component of his collection...
