James Hull is a wealthy British dentist, and also owner of the largest private-autocollectie of the United Kingdom. This he does, under 1 condition: everything must be in one once.

In Hulls garage stands for 80 years of automotive history. Since he was 35 years ago began collecting, he has a collection with a value of around 100 million GBP, or almost 123 million euro. Among the copies are, among others, Winston Churchill’s Austin and Lord Mountbattens Mini Traveller, the Financial Times reports.

Classics have in the UK, no capital gains tax to be paid, what they are only more attractive as an investment opportunity, but it’s going to Hull to collect. During the 60-year jubilee of Elizabeth II were some of his cars used, the rest stayed in the large sheds that Hull as a storage area charterde.

Of course, try to the interested parties the jewels from his collection to ‘cherry picking‘, but it is the man who made his fortune as a pioneer of cosmetic dentistry (a gold mine in England, crooked-teeth-land) has nothing to know. Or you can grab it all, or you get nothing. We are curious to see how many parties by this condition drop out. In that case, they run a 1961 Jaguar E-Type, two 1954 Bentley Mulliner Continentals and an electric Sinclair C5 is wrong.

Hull sells his 457 classics, 365 quadricycles and 300 pieces of memorabilia due to health reasons. The man seems to have 4 times cancer have overcome, and now wants a little less time in his verzamelhobby stitches.
