driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
His Swiss collection is said to be bigger than Biggin. He bought the Albert Obrist Ferrari collection for example plus many Brabhams for obvious reasons.
the story here is that Albert needed to borrow $$ for a business deal banks would not lend so he asked BE for 5 Bernies to do a deal
BE loaned the $$ against alberts ferrari collection
when the date came to repay the 5 Bernies Albert did not have the money so BE inherited the collection and Albert sank with out a trace


BE has no intentions of letting us peasants see his cars

The Brabhams he has owned since he bought the team will never sell them
has loaned 2 cars out for 1 year per annum to 2 "pals"
Gordon Murray was given his BT49 it sat in donington museum he sold car to a TGP racer
when BE found out he was not happy!
