The Revs Institute in Naples, Florida is non-profit organization that presents the Collier Collection of over one hundred significant automobiles built between 1896 and 1995. The automobiles on display at Revs are some of the rarest and most important cars ever built at anytime, anywhere. They are the ones that variously blazed technical pathways, redefined aesthetic standards, made history, and changed the world.
Attended to by a staff of full time restoration technicians, these meticulously selected rare vestiges of automotive history remain operational and continue to demonstrate their engineering prowess on race tracks and roadways the world over. The Institute primarily serves as a haven for scholars, preservationists and passionate connoisseurs of automotive history. In keeping with Mr. Collier’s vision to embolden the legacy of the transformative impact the automobile had on 20th century society, The Revs Institute is also one of the leading repositories of historical automotive documents, photographs and ephemera. There are Cunninghams, Jaguars, 1919 Indy Ballot, 1914 GP Mercedes, 1962-65 BRM ‘Old Faithful’,1967 Belgian GP-winning Gurney Eagle-Weslake, Porsche 908 Langheck Coupe and 917PA Can Am car and so many other cars drawn from this fabulous museum, in which the vast majority of the exhibits are runnable and are regularly exercised. While all of these have run either in the home Park around Goodwood House, or on the Motor Circuit at the Revival Meeting, there are plenty more back home in the box.
