Some stars collect cars for attention. Others do it because they respect the craftsmanship, heritage, and emotion that classic vehicles represent. Among the world’s most dedicated collectors, a few iconic names rise above the rest.
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren built a fashion empire on timeless style, and his classic car collection reflects that same passion. He owns some of the most valuable and admired vehicles in existence, including a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic from the late 1930s and a Ferrari 250 GTO. His cars have appeared in museums and at prestigious events across the globe. To Lauren, a great automobile is both a design statement and a piece of cultural history.
Rowan Atkinson
While millions know him as Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson is also a lifelong enthusiast of classic performance cars. His famously driven McLaren F1 showed the world that collectors should enjoy their cars, not lock them away. Over the years, he has owned iconic British and European classics, valuing engineering depth and character over flash.
Jay Leno
Jay Leno is arguably the most recognized car collector on the planet. His massive garage includes everything from early hand-built machines to American muscle and European legends. Leno believes cars should run, not sit still, which is why his team restores, maintains, and routinely drives nearly every vehicle in his care. Through his shows and public outreach, he has helped introduce countless people to the magic of automotive history.
Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld’s passion for Porsche has earned him enormous respect among collectors. His lineup features rare early models such as the Porsche 550 Spyder and some of the most desired air-cooled 911s ever made. Seinfeld doesn’t just own them — he studies them, drives them, and often shares them through his projects, including Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. His enthusiasm highlights the charm and simplicity that make vintage sports cars so beloved.
A Shared Love for Classics
What brings these stars together is a genuine appreciation for the stories behind each car. They preserve remarkable pieces of mechanical art, support restoration work, and keep these vehicles alive on the road — exactly where they belong.
Classic cars are more than collectibles. They are a reminder of the innovation, design, and passion that shaped the automotive world. Thanks to collectors like these, the legacy continues to thrive.
