Above, the collection is partly in a roundhouse, I think it's a great way to access a large collection for a driver, I have no idea if the architect was informed that the display factor would be important


The 1914 Rolls Royce that sparked the tour invitation, was brought to the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours


Above, the original Shell gas station that is inside the palace, as the only gas engine vehicles of the time were owned by the Maharajah. Makes sense!

 While visiting India, the author of the website was also interested in seeing the local repair shops to contrast them with what he is familr with in Germany

See or read the entire post about the week in India and tour of the private collection at http://www.classicmotourist.blogspot.de/2013/03/indien.html which I learned about from http://www.carguychronicles.com/2013/04/classic-cars-in-india-rajasthan.html

1963 Bel Air optioned to drag race, 409, 4 spd, dual carbs,


1948 American Flyer Whizzer



1992 Lister Corvette


  I think this is a 67


the infamous '78 collectors edition 25th anniversary Vette. This one has a 4 speed and 12 miles since new. So, it's still worth the 14 thou it cost new. Not much more. Some cars aren't vehicles, they are art. Some cars aren't driven, they are investments. Some cars are just wasted. Why build them? Why buy them? Why hold and store them? 35 years old and it's never been driven farther than from the dealership to it's first storage room. Should have invested in gold, it's went from 250 an ounce to 1600, 600 percent return. This car? If you could break even, you'll be lucky, as everyone that ever wanted to store one did. So most all of them are low miles, or never driven... hence, a no mile example isn't rare, and frequently for sale.



I think this was a 1917 model T


1928 Chevrolet AB model. The last Chevy 4 cylinder until 1962



1968 1/2 lightweight SCCA racer Mustang with lightweight body (acid dipped maybe, no details given) and a 428 engine with a 4 speed


1917 Douglas dumptruck, the museum owners first vehicle at age 16, used to haul Onyx ore at Mayer Arizona


1937 LaSalle, 2 door, 322 cu in engine


the 1951 Mercedes 4 door phaeton used in Hogan's Heroes... one of 2 made this way






is the winged tire a hint at Louis Chevrolet's Indy 500 racing?





great helmet lamp

These are good photos, but there is another great set at http://timster1973.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/the-lost-alfas/ who says there are only 6 cars.




First it was the Sleeping Beauty collection of the Schlumpf bothers, then the welded shut collection of the variety of cars bought up by a collector when they were cheap, in Portugal. Now, this group of cars in a Belgian Castle. Cool world we live in, and interesting finds are still happening.

The original source website is dead. Well, it might just be having issues, but it doesn't seem to work. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/ and so I learned about this on http://sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com.br who posted it a month ago

A couple photos are at http://www.wernerschijvenaars.nl/gallery/71988 but they aren't as good as these ones, and provide no info
