Jay Leno (Los Angeles): Leno is known not only as a comedian and one of the most famous television hosts in the United States, but also for his large collection of cars. After handing “The Tonight Show” into the hands of Jimmy Fallon, Jay turned to his passion: the automotive industry.

Valued at approximately $150 million, this collection includes models such as an original Shelby Cobra, a 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II, or a McLaren F1.

Miguel de la Via (Bilbao): Biscayan Miguel de la Vía’s private collection of vintage and classic cars is the most complete Rolls-Royce collection in Europe. Also one of the few collections in the world where you can see all models of the Phantom series produced until 1972, without exception. Miguel de la Vía devoted his life to masonry, but he was already obsessed with cars as a child, so he decided to create this collection. The businessman died at the age of 77, but his cars can still be visited as he left them, in the Loizaga Tower, on the outskirts of Bilbao, in the vicinity of a medieval tower built in Galdames.
