McCaw Brothers Collections

Yes, that would be nice . . .

 

When I get a chance, I will give a list of the cars I know they own or have owned. Although I must note the number is said to be around 600+ cars

 

By nature of this sort of thing, it will be inaccurate but hey ho. (*) = sold at some point. I understand Cavallino Holdings is the Bruce and John McCaw holding company.....

Awesomeness . . . . Thanks for the list.

 

Correction: the 300S owned by the McCaw`s was #3061, not #3062.
They also own(ed?) one of the ex-Panamericana Mercedes 300SL.

 

Speechless!!!

 

someone please post picts!

 

The 312 T2 F1 is/was 026 (three digits), not 0026.

Google is your best friend.
And ferrarichat also has a search function (top right).

Did a quick search in Barchetta.cc and found some more Ferrari's...

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 14271 Canonball - Bruce
Ferrari 275 GTB/C 09057 - Bruce *
Ferrari 275 GTB/C 09063 - Cavallino *

Ferrari 250 GTE 4479 - Craig & Bruce *
Ferrari F310B 175 - Cavallino *
Ferrari 500 Superfast 5989SF - John *
Ferrari 500 Superfast 6305SF - John *
Ferrari 365 GTS 12285 - Cavallino
Ferrari 400 Superamerica 2861SA - Cavallino *

 

The list above is not comprehensive. And confuses some ownership between the brothers. Cavillino also isn’t joint ownership either but just one brother.

However, clearly they individually and collectively own a spectacular collection. It is wonderful that they willingly display and race these cars though so everyone can experience them. Great people and stewards.

 

This roster is outdated and has numerous significant inaccuracies vis-a-vis current ownertship and roster status....
A number of these-some really "big" cars- have ben gone for many years....

None the less: it remains the single largest collection of "big" cars in one family on the planet-IMHO....

 

I think this thread needs an update. Since this thread was created I believe John McCaw sold 2417GT, 0766TR, 0736TR and 0684.

I've read on another site that Craig sold 3505GT but can't attest the veracity of such statement.

Does Bruce still owns his prized cars (2643GT, 0286AM, etc.)?

Did they bought anything relevant in the meantime?

 

2643 GT and 0286 AM still there.
All the others are long gone.

They have also sold innumerable Aston Martins, Bugattis, Fords, Jaguars and so on. But still their collection includes so much more in all sorts of areas from Mercedes to Rolls-Royce.

 

Thank you for your responses. Semi-related - they still own the Alfas and the Maseratis, right?

 

Man Timothy, you always seem to deliver. I always appreciate your input on this forum. Definitely an asset here.

 

What!? I'd no idea. Okay.

 

how did they make their billions?

 

They were early in the cellular network industry.
