It seems that Vanity Fair were recently given full access to the Ralph Lauren classic car collection. Simply titled 'Inside Ralphs garage', it shows an exquisite collection of cars with everything from a 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK ‘Count Trossi’ Roadster, through to a 1948 Ford “Woody” Station Wagon.........
"With its stainless-steel counters, halogen lights, and museum-style installations, D.A.D. Garage looks nothing like an everyday, oil-stained garage. Of course not—it belongs to Ralph Lauren, who owns 60 or so of the rarest, most valuable cars in the world, including a 1938 Bugatti coupe, a 1938 Alfa Romeo Mille Miglia roadster, and the world’s only 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK “Count Trossi” roadster, all in ideal condition and all driven by the designer himself. The author plugs into the lifelong fantasy behind Lauren’s collection".
