Every Jensen and several of them, any prototype built by any English manufacturer, herd of Stags, not difficult to see why it's valued at £40million +

And most of his wealth made from purchasing then renting out these - All 14,000 + of them

But did you see how he made his initial fortune?
He invented the Deli-counter 'take a ticket' virtual queuing machine.

Good to see he has a very nice Morris Minor in the collection.

Not usually a fan of big collections as they are usually just the best most expensive cars you can find because they will go up in value.

But he appears to have just bought what he likes, and I can't fault that.

I'm loving it, but I think he has made a mistake not opening it up to the public. Even if it was just for a few days of the year.

And this has just blown my mind...




48-cylinder Kawasaki

As well as his 420 cars, Rodger also has around 65 motorcycles in his collection. Some are rare and some are less so - and then there's this unique 48-cylinder Kawasaki.

Despite the huge cylinder count the total displacement is just 4.2 litres - and because there's a separate 75cc single-cylinder engine required to start the main powerplant, it's really a 49-cylinder Kawasaki.

Bona fide legend then, he'll be remembered for that!

Certainly blurrs the line between hoarder and collector, but if I had the space and money, id be surrounded by awesomeness too.

I've jumped the first 6 minutes of this clip as it's pretty dry;

Looks interesting but I'm not sure this motorcycle would be terribly practical to use or maintain!
