Exhibition Details

Morton Street Partners in collaboration with Broad Arrow Auctions. The collection of Jim Taylor, a group of more than 120 motor cars, represents one of the finest assemblages of European, British, and American automobiles in private hands. The four selected for this show were chosen from Mr. Taylor’s collection as exemplary specimens of design, originality, and performance–three qualities that have informed Mr. Taylor’s collecting ethos from the outset. Spanning 70 years of automotive history, these four automobiles tell a story of not only mechanical and aesthetic evolution but also of the growing importance of stewardship in the world of collectible automobiles. Cars may rightly be regarded as objects of great visual beauty, but to separate them from the history of their development and use is to observe only one corner of a great oil painting. This show seeks to celebrate the automobile in its entirety. We encourage visitors to observe not only their shapes and forms but also the stunning fact of their originality and capability, with each prepared to be put to the road at speed as they were designed.
