In a non-de script warehouse, somewhere deep within the confines of downtown Philadelphia, there is an incredible collection of sports racing cars. The collection of Dr. Fred Simeone is one of those which a person could drive past for years, never knowing it was there. On an evening in July '07, while attending the Vintage Triumph Register Convention, I was lucky enough to be invited along on a tour. Dr. Simeone personally guided us through what has to be one of the more impressive private collections I have ever seen. Unlike unlike many collectors, rather than present over restored art in formal dining room conditions, the Simeone collection lives in a working environment. I suspect the bulk of his collection needs only a little gas and a battery to run. Beyond what you see here, there are C and D-Type Jags, multiple additional Alfa Romeos, a 300S Maser ati, Ferraris, a blower Bentley, the first Cobra Daytona Coupe and others. A big thanks goes out to Dr. Simeone for hosting us. It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience.
