We all need a part 2, 3, and 4 on the Ralph Lauren Collection.
Come on everyone let's make this a top post like it
Agreed!
Agreed!
Agreed
Yes
Please do not end this series! Love this!
Sultan of Brunei collection is biggest but sadly not sure in what condition state are those cars..
@@poplaurentiu4148 doesn't really matter but so much.. collecting has to start somewhere, and there's something to be said about the sheer quantity..
Hopefully you can get Jay Leno himself to participate in the video about his collection, that would make for a fun one! This is such a great series, I always look forward to new episodes. Thanks!
A Jay Leno video would become a multipart movie :p
@@jonathantin It would probably set the view record for a VinWiki video.
The only problem there is that Jay won't want to talk money.
Tyler Hoover has done several videos with Jay. I'm sure he could set it up.
@@marvindebot3264 Jay Leno stopped doing things for money like 35 years ago 🤷🏽♂️
I’ve been really excited for this one. Ralph’s collection is unparalleled
Idk, fck that man; but the Sultan's collection is probably paralleled. Even if its rotting
Rob Walton would disagree
@@Emira_75I was going to say that too the sultons collection was potentially worth double Ralph’s that guy had absolutely insane shit like billions and billions and billions worth
@@jonah7186I think the sultan of bruneis collection is worth more than Rob’s and Ralph’s combined x3
@@peterstainer731 Those were bought using fund stolen from the treasury of Brunei by the sultans brother. Therefore they are the governments property and it is not technically a private collection.
This man doesn't have class, he IS class. Besides the modern cars, that are not my thing, the classics he owns are on another level, this is peak elegance, and totally fitting with the character, still not my cup of tea, except a couple of pieces, but im knowledgeable enough to appreciate and recognize where beauty is. I'm literally stunned by this collection 🖤
He's a tie salesman that has hoodwinked the Hamptons crowd. Is his stuff any better than Brooks Brothers or Charles Tyrwhitt just because of a polo pony?
ralph lifshitz
@@scoutandscooter that's a win in my book
@@scoutandscooter it’s more than just a pony, hell the best ralph don’t have pony’s. There’s levels to it but it’s embedded in culture now, one of the biggest differences is fabrics and texture apart from marketing and style. Those brands you mention don’t have street competitions in NY do they?
@@scoutandscooter hating is a female trait. Do better.
Listening to John Ficarra talk about cars is such an amazing thing
That guy is a story telling genius
Yup, historical genius
Ralph's collection is really close to a billion.
I worked in NYC for years and can, as well , remember Ralph showing his cars on all sorts of venues over those years. So rare to have someone like that in our car community.
As an 18 year old I could listen to Ficarra and never get bored, heck id pay to listen to his stories on vintage cars
What’s being 18 gotta do with it????
@@ThomasSeeds his appreciation of vintage cars at 18 is unusual.
@@ThomasSeeds has literally everything to do with it 🥴
If you’re watching ads, you are paying to listen to his stories.
Most of the time, these 3 are polished with talking head segments about every car but here there’s some real back-and-forth among 3 experts. Really love seeing this Socratic appraisal.
I believe there is a 3rd Bugatti Tipo 57 SC
A fully private collector in southern US, never transacts their cars publicly. I have seen it myself.
I lived in Telluride for a long time and got to see Ralph's cars a few times. I grabbed my son when his 2006 Bugatti Veyron was going into town, the one you reviewed, and took some pictures. The first of Ralph's cars I saw was his deep purple MacLaren P1. I don't know if he still has it. Those Bugatti pictures in your story were taken in Mt. Village and Sawpit outside of Telluride. Someone told me Ralph trucks a lot of vehicles to his Double RL Ranch outside of Ridgway because there are a lot of long straight flat roads between there and Utah. Western San Miguel County is an unknown driver's paradise.
This was a real treat, what a collection. And my opinion is keep doing these. Very interesting videos and adds a nice mix between car stories.
Always fun to see Ed and John T out of their elements. Having to go with the history buffs estimated. But his collection is a complete bucket list of cars. I don’t think he will ever sell them!
The question will be what will his family do with them. Will they be sold or donated to museums or will they stay in the family and make a museum out of his garage?
@@brandonbrenchley4399 I believe he will have a trust set up that will turn the collection into the RL car collection museum, or whatever they will end up calling it. Prob something similar to how the Peterson Car museum is set up. And also what will happen to Jay Lenos collection too
Absolutely awesome episode! I honestly enjoyed this one infinitely more than the relatively dime-a-dozen modern supercar collections, mainly due to the amount of history involved. It also made me think that I really want to see you guys tackle Leno's collection next, which, while it may not be as valuable, I do think it's more eclectic with stuff like the Shogun, Turbine car and other really oddball cars. Very much looking forward to seeing the group's thoughts and opinions on those in the next episode!
That F1LM used to be in my hometown all the time. The picture with the snow on the ground is where the old Turner Motorsports used to be. Legit walking distance from my house lol
John Ficarra. You have to be kidding me. As a child I got my first slot car set one Christmas and the 2 cars it came with were Ferrari 250TR and D Jag! Have loved them both ever since.
Back in about 2001 I pulled up to a stop light in the small Colorado town I lived in and next to me was Ralph in his silver McLaren F1. Was quite a sight!
a lady from my village was the personal horse whisperer to mr Lauren during the 80s, the stories/memoires shes able to share are amazing!
this is considering his race horses if im not mistaken
I love to see these appraisal videos. You 3 are the best at this . Cheers guys
This was the best video you guys have ever done. I saw Ralph's cars on display in Boston - STUNNING. And I've seen Ralph several times around Greenwich driving and I always wave and he gives a thumbs up. Seen him in BMW Z8, Mercedes CLK Black Series. I also have some Bruce Webber original photos of his Ferrari P2/3 that a friend who worked at RL gave me years ago.
You need to do Jay Leno's collection. No way you could nail that down.
That's an amazing collection.
3:10 wow. I was picturing that to be much smaller. It looks huge with people in it.
Great episode. I went especially tp Paris to see RL's collection when it was shown at the Louvre. A true privilege to view them.
I saw the 250LM race at Sandown in Melbourne in 1968. Chris Amon driving it to win. If we talk about the ones that got away, in 1998 I was in London staying at the Dorchester. I was walking back to the hotel and came across a small car showroom. Sitting in the window with its engine lid open, gold foil on display, was an F1. I went in to have a look. It was the last one for sale. From memory around $650k. I couldn't justify buying it. Such an absurd price for a car. Right.
Crazy to think 1998 was 25 years ago !!
This series is one of the best things on VinWiki. Great job again!
I worked hauling cars for BMW in the late 90’s to the early 2000’s. Our company was contracted to haul both of Ralph’s F1’s to an airport that was rented for service. My buddy picked the cars up in NYC and took them to and from the airport. The BMW techs had flown in from Germany to work on the cars
I saw many of these cars at the Boston MFA display c.2005. The thing that stood out the most were the “imperfections”. The rivets on the spine of the the SC, the paint on the D type, the emblem on the blower Bentley, and the leather in the SL. True handmade artwork.
I was fortunate enough to have seen the Ssk up close at Concourse d’ Elegance at Meadow Brook Hall in Michigan back in the mid 90’s. It was absolutely stunning. This show was one of those shows that even the parking lot was impressive. I still remember the trip there there was 355 and Nsx racing on the way there. Unfortunately, my Mom was driving and our old 91 300D couldn’t have kept up even if we wanted too.
I’ve been fortunate enough to see Jim Taylor’s collection auctions in October, the D-type is spectacular. I think you all undervalued it.
Many years back the Boston Museum of Fine Arts had Ralph Lauren Collection as an exhibit. It was a great way to see the collection.
I went to that as well, and it was absolutely incredible; I think half of the photos they used in this video were from that exhibit!
I went to see the collection at the MFA. I was blown away!
Really Enjoyed that Appraisal video! What an amazing collection! Keep em coming. Can't wait for the Jay Leno one!
This collection needs a follow up! What an insane collection.
This was mind boggling. So many cars, I had just heard about as a kid, reside with one man of unparalleled vision. Thanks for the video.
I remember, when I was in High School, I got to see his collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It was an incredible experience.
That was FANTASTIC! Passion, Knowledge and enthusiasm for these amazing cars!
I love this series. Thanks guys!
As far as I'm concerned Ralf Lauren has the best car collection in the world, bar none. As a kid in the 80's, I didn't have the typical Countach poster, I had a Porsche 959 poster. Just like the car at 24:28. I love the old prewar cars in his collection like the 8C Alfa and blower Bentley best. Back in the late 90's I had a very nice 1/18th die cast McLaren F1 LM with opening doors. How about doing a episode on Jay Leno's collection? I know it's huge and impressive, and easily comparable to any other big collection. Thank you.
2nd only to the sultan of Brunei
Hooked on this series! Also halfway through the video the fact that there hasn't been any vehicle less than 1 million is incredible! What a man
I was thinking the same thing. Absolutely incredible collection.
Love this series this is my favorite yt channel keep it up guys.
The majority of his cars are housed in an unmarked, no window warehouse in Bedford Hills New York. There is a wall that goes around the complex with cameras everywhere. It’s really cool to drive by
Love to hear John Ficarra's enthusiasm.
I was at Manhattan Motorcars when Ralph personally came and picked up his Reventon Roadster. Beautiful car. Nice guy. He took a photo with my toddler son in his arms. I’ll find that picture and post on my Instagram/Facebook today.
how are you on instagram and facebook?
I saw the Atlantic coupe at a small car show 30+ years ago. It was amazing then and still captivates. So stunning.
Everytime Ficarra takes his glasses off take a shot!
Im pretty sure that F1LM was my desktop wallpaper in middles school
Thanks guys. Great episode.
Keep this series coming, they are the best! cheers
You have to appraise Jean-Pierre Kämers cars, he is known on RUclips as JP Performance and is the biggest german car RUclipsr. Amazing collection, I am sure you all will enjoy it!
i remember getting passed by RL in his Carrera GT on the NY West Side HWY, in 2008/or/9, on my way back home from work. I remember the sounds and i remember that downshift to get past us all in a blink of an eye... that sound...
The Carrera GT is such a wild car, probably my favorite. RL has great taste for sure !!
There's some videos on RUclips that show Ralph Lauren's entire car collection. That man has such an amazing collection. Some of his cars are sheer class while others are just beasts. His antique vehicles are stunning.
This is always a RUclips notification I look for, truly the best part of any day when it’s posted.
There's 3 Type 57SC Atlantics remaining: Ralph Lauren's, Mullin Automotive Collection and the Torrata Collection in Spain. The 4th one that was lost on a train is La Voiture Noire.
His Bugatti Atlantique is bananas. I saw it at pebble a few years back.
Great to see a local collector being discussed in this video. Mike Marzano, owner of the Mouse Motors Collection, has a normal F1 (vin 001), a F1 LM, and 2 F1 GTRs.
I love this content specially when you guys agree to disagree or go back on forth on future prices I can’t wait for the next one !
This is fantastic! We need a Part 2!
I'd love to see a video on Fred Simeone's collection. When he passed away last year, we lost a real collector. His museum in Philadelphia is a genuine gem.
Love the series!
I do however struggle with collections that are more art than they are cars. A great collection and a testament of great taste nonetheless.
Ralph Lauren's drip is off the charts. I've seen several of these cars at the Audrain Museum in Newport RI.
Drink every time Ficarra puts his glasses on then immediately off!
I’m hammered!
Great video, as always! Funny that John mentioned Stroll when discussing the 288. His collection would be worth reviewing too. Since you mentioned Lauren's three F1's, I thought I'd share this next bit. I think it's widely known now that Stroll has two; a silver road car, one of 64, chassis # not public, and a longtail gtr, chassis 23R, one of 9 longtails. Fun fact, he's the original owner of his road car, and he's the only known owner to have spec'd an ashtray! Big cigar fan. He also spec'd a baby seat with matching upholstery! I have a few pictures of his personal garage in Tremblant as well as a video my father filmed when we visited his dealership back in 2004. A relative used to work for him and I got to sit in his F40 (can't remember if it was the standard car or GTE, I'd have to find the pictures), but it's been my favourite car since I was around 8 years old so I was thrilled to say the least. I haven't seen the video in at least 15 years so I'd have to hunt the camcorder cassettes, but there was a silver car there that, from looking at other pictures I have, I think was his silver 250 TR. Simply gorgeous car, even for a 13-year-old who didn't know what these most of these cars were at that time and didn't speak English. He's got other unique cars as well, very interesting collection, that is for sure.
Lawrence Stroll has sold BOTH of his McLaren F1s. The chassis of his road car was 052, and he sold it to Rob Walton (Walmart billionaire heir) and it resides in Arizona. His other F1, F1 GTR Longtail (23R) was sold to the United Kingdom and was recently purchased by a collector in the Midwest USA who has three other F1s, including F1 LM2 (the *other* F1 LM in the US that isn't Ralph Lauren's). In fact, Stroll has sold off lots of his collection, including his Ferrari 250 GTO. It is much less impressive than it once was.
@@cgbsales95 I understand you are selling your cars to finance Aston Martin
@@cgbsales95 Interesting stuff. I haven't been active on the different forums in years, maybe I should go back and read some of Peloton's posts too. I knew Stroll's divorce hit hard, never thought he'd ever sell the F1's, though. I figured the GTO, the TR, both F1's, and the 330 would always stay with him. I knew he sold the track and dealership, both to Gad Bitton, who I suspect also bought LS's FXX. He still owns his house in Tremblant according to the city's website, I'm guessing it will be for sale in the near future too given that he doesn't own the track anymore and has liquidated a lot of cars. Thanks for the update on the cars, I had stopped keeping up with the info as my relative stopped working for him 5 years ago.
What a collection. Have photos of him driving his 959 in Greenwich about 10 years ago. The only time I've seen a 959 on the road...unreal.
I know it might be cliche, but Ralph Lauren's F1 LM is my single dream car, and yes his specific car (The sultan's cars are prob too rotted to be driven without a lot of work). If I could have any singular car in the world, it would be that one.
These vlogs are amazing to watch, thank you boys.
Did hearing them say, "Amazing" 12 times, trigger you in to typing it?
@@timkinley1779 I thought I counted a few more lol
@@IDv8I Ole Ed saturates his narrations with "amazing"s. Especially when describing VinWiki sponsors. He's always good for several "amazing"s per speech. Once you notice it, you'll aways notice it. Luckily he hasn't fell into the 'literally" rabbit hole.
I saw a Bentley blower when I used to work at the Bentley factory, they have one in the factory museum. I happen to know the insurance on it in 2017 was £5million. (I believe this car was or possibly still is owned by Brian Johnson from AC/DC, could be wrong on this but I know he owns several cars in the Bentley museum)
Strange how we argue between a few hundred/thousands on sub 300k car, but when in the millions the digits go up plus/minus 1,000,000
Excellent content….thanks so much for putting this together. And yes--MORE,MORE,MORE!!!
These are the best videos!! Keep em coming
So refreshing and interesting, more about the stories than the appraisals, which is just a bonus!
I know Ralph Lauren is so rich he doesn’t need RUclips money but I really wish he would do a RUclips channel like Jay Leno where he shows off his collection and tells stories about his cars.
I like that you finally got into some back and forth!
I couldn’t afford a rusted Yugo at the moment, but love the vids. Thanks and keep up the good work. Try and get Jay Leno on the list. Should be good for a couple of vids with his bikes & cars! 👍
Loved this episode. Can’t wait for more. Would love to see you guys do a collection on the sultan if brunei himself.
The cars that weren't dumped into the sea, are rotting.
Amazing video! Always enjoy these
Fun fact; I watched this and a member of my family is the oncle of Ralf's right hand that has worked for him in NYC for over 15years
I did not realize he had all of these. How could there be a better collection out there?
I wouldn't have said no to a longer video to talk about more of the cars. Even 1hour+.
Great video!
My friend sat in that exact 250LM back in the 70s while it was undergoing maintenance in Sydney. It was owned and raced by Scuderia Veloce.
I have been fascinated by the F1 since first reading about it and seeing pictures in 1992 or 1993. I enjoyed it vicariously through watching both Ed and Jay Leno drive one. Jealous and envious!
Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia - absolutely gem of this amazing collection! ❤️
So glad you guys did Ralph's collection.
It is really cool seeing the mutual respect between these friends.
Nice series. Please keep doing it.
I'm not familiar with classics and their values so these numbers are just mind blowing, had no idea Ralph Lauren owns all these cars, insane 🤯 Excellent episode to learn all this info
The 57 SC Atlantic is absolutely beautiful. Can't imagine having it in my garage and never driving it. I love cars but if I had the money, I would have to drive them, sorry I also played with my Star Wars figures too!
The 250TR looks like the inspiration for the Speed Racer Mach 5.
ya wow man! just unfathomable numbers! cant wait for JL collection next! im sure his F1 is 30m alone.
Great series Ed and the 2 Johns!
Sultan of Brunei collection would need it's own tv show to cover it all
959 was the spaceship era like the Bugatti. That group B rally era that fed in to super cars like rs200 where just amazing
Love this Type of videos, es una gran oportunidad de escuchar hablar sobre el Amor a los autos, seria increíble hacer una segunda parte!!
got to see the SSK in person. absolutely in awe
If this same 'top 5 cars' format could be applied to the known Sultan of Brunei collection. that would be Awesome!
I remember around 2002 seeing a F-40 at a car show that was for sale around 450k, a 7.5 return on investment in 21 years is not bad, but there are other cars that had even more insane valuations like the F1 McLaren. That car was not only an amazing buy for driving, but an incredible investment.
When I used to work in the City of London I used to see a guy driving into the office in one of these on a Saturday. Looked and sounded fantastic back then. Same today. Top class
You Should appraise Collier's collection in Naples. Pretty badass and unique!
I wonder what the plan is for these big collections once they pass on. It would be interesting to have someone talk about the strategy when selling off a big collection. If you were to sell Ralph Lauren's collection how would that even be done?
Awesome Episode.
I would imagine that they’d either be sold privately or just put into museums. But I doubt the family will want them to go
He has 2 sons, that’s why he starting buying two of them.
@@mr.firstshot5652 I'm not asking just about this collection specifically. I'm just asking about big collections in general.
Depends what his estate says. It’s no different from a real estate portfolio. You can sell it, pass it on or donate it.
AWESOME VIDEO.!!
I Love This Episode...
This Is Why Vinwiki Is One Of My Favorite RUclips Channels...
So excited you released this collection, easily Ralph's collection is the best in the world in iconic cars. If only I had the money, any one of them would be a crown jewel of any collection
Rob Walton has basically the same cars + more
Before I came across this channel I never knew cars could be art
The set looks a lot better Ed when it and you are so lit up. Is it also a new camera you're using? Seems to have a different look to it that the previous one. A lot less grainy regardless of the extra light.
