Apparently there will be a show dedicated to Ralph's car collection tonight at 8PM.

I hope to at least be able to watch it, and may be able to record it to DVD to provide some kind of sharing opportunity if no one else does. I'd expect it will show up somewhere online in the next week or so.

(60 minutes) The Ralph Lauren Car Collection: Speed, Style & Beauty

TV-G

There is no car collection like it in the world. Thirty-six-cars. Thirty-six different designs. Thirty-six cars with thirty-six amazing stories. Thirty-six cars worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This is Ralph Lauren's Car Collection.

It re-airs at 12 am tomorrow morning as well. It appears from their website that there may be an opportunity to watch it online after it is shown on TV as there is a "View" link that is greyed out right now. That link would be here and seems to imply the option will be avail for 30-days:

One of the ads they have been running for it reportedly shows LM3. :sunglasse

I moved your post into this thread since the Press Release info relates to the Discovery Channel program.

:cheers: I'll keep an eye out for it in the UK

i watched it. good stuff. dont recall them saying the f1 was a 2005...maybe thats when he took delivery of it. or had the car redone. or maybe the title was salvaged then rectified.

i liked the bugatti more tho. just the raw essence of the car. u know the rivits exposed. and the "sail" or fin looks cool.

but the mclaren just looked outright fearful from the front.

I caught it, and it was pretty entertaining. The guy definitely knows what he likes.

I have it recorded to DVD and will try to at least get the segment on the LM uploaded to share. Do not expect it quickly as I don't have all the software I need to do so here.

It was a good show, but they really only focused on a handful of his cars - mostly the ones from the Boston MFA exhibit from 2005. Luckily the LM was given it's own segment, but they only offered fleeting glimpses of #055 and nothing of #074. Seems most of the content was about two years old as they also showed Pebble Beach 2005 as well.

Hopefully you have nothing to do for the next hour or so. :popcorn:

Before you sing my praises, I can only take credit for finding the link. It doesn't appear you can skip forward to any particular scene, but watching the whole show is worth it if you have the time.

I will still work on producing the short clip of the LM in a downloadable form.

Watching it now Erik, thanks :popcorn:

I have it on TIVO superclear. How do I upload it to the net from the box?

cant wait to get just the LM part

I saw a nice and clear picture of RL with his LM3 on a thread a few days ago. Does anyone remember which thread it was?

I recently started working at this club, he visits regularly. I need to ask him to bring in the F1 Lm, esp since I do Valet there :smile:

Thanks for sharing the link, Erik.

Lauren displays sublime taste in his collection, that's for sure.

Far more than the English guy I saw on a Youtube clip with about EVERY supercar, minus an F1 that you could think of that had 2 Koeningsegg's and a Carrera GT that he admitted that he'd never driven.

I'm sure this has been asked before here, but what's the S/N and provenance of his Silver F1 and why does it have those daft high-up mirrors? Incidentally, how many F1 are extant with high-up mirrors?

Ralph has 2 with high mirrors - #055
