At DRIVESHARE, we love seeing classic car enthusiasts celebrated, and a recent BBC article featuring owner Jane Weitzmann is no exception. Jane’s incredible collection of 50 classic cars, housed in Worcestershire, UK, showcases her lifelong passion for unique and rare vehicles.
From a 1950s Formula 1 Vanwall to a Triumph Fury prototype, Jane’s cars tell stories of automotive history and personal joy. Her Iso Grifo, famously sat in by John Lennon, and her playful Fiat Gamine—fondly described as a "Noddy car"—have captured the imagination of car lovers around the world.
