Thanks for sharing Andrew, and on the too many Lotus page. I went to their web site and it looks like they had acquired much of the old Brigs Cunningham collection including Le Monstre and his stock Caddy.

Revs is still owned by the Collier family - - - most of the California collection has stayed intact and add ons drive in - a few every year  -

Minor correction - this was owned by Miles Collier and was raced extensively in pre-war ARCA and post-war SCCA competition. Miles took this car to Le Mans in 1939 but a ruptured fuel tank while leading (in class) took the car out.

By the way - thanks, Andrew for showing me what I’m missing!  I left SW Florida 2 years ago and was a volunteer at REVS for 6 years before that. 
I really miss that place! 

p.s. - the Bentley was part of the collection but was sent out a couple years ago for a re-restoration. I’ll dig up a picture of the “before”.
