Until recently The Revs Institute and the Miles Collier Collection located in Naples, Florida, was out of the reach of automotive enthusiasts. One of the world’s premier private collections has reopened to the general public, granting access to more than 100 of the world’s most desirable cars and an extensive library of research documentation.
A few facts from the Revs Institute website:
