By far, Bruce is the nicest auto enthusiast I have ever met. At 80+ years old, he recalls things (names, dates, specs, lineage, etc.) that amazes me and should amaze any other automotive enthusiast. At 60+, I don't know what I had for lunch two days ago. I've seen him at the Petersen more times than I can count and have a video of him driving the '57 Tessa Rosa home after a Sunday "cars and coffee". The man loves to see these treasures driven, and driven properly. He is a true gift to the automotive community. Great interview, thanks for posting.

Great to see his collection. I have met Bruce several times and got to talk with him for an hour or more in the stands at Bakersfield. I'd say all my lifetime collection of cars and parts and memorabilia is probably worth less than Bruce's cheapest car but we sat there and talked as regular car guys and he impressed me as a down to earth genuine car guy.

As a SoCal guy I always think of Bruce Meyers - of Meyers Manx fame. He just passed last year at 94. Mr Meyer used to race dirt bikes in the day iirc, and looks amazing at 81. Need to visit his collection - and also Canepa’s up in NorCal.

It is always an immense pleasure to see Bruce's Collection... even if it is a video. The quality of this diverse collection seems to focus on historical significance and pure beauty. So while Mr. Meyer may reference his missed opportunity for the GTO v 4 Cam trade, the beauty is all there anyway (Ahem, and the 275 GTB/4 has a more advanced engine anyway!). Since beauty and historical/technical significance are mainstays, might a Miura be a missing element here Mr. Meyer? ;-)

I went to USAF Officer Training School in 1967 in San Antonio. We were all recent college grads and had new cars. Corvettes, GTO's, etc. They made us park our cars in a high fenced area and we could visit them on Saturday to start them, but not drive them for 6 weeks. One of our classmates had a gullwing Porsche. His grandmother had given it to him for his college graduation present. I had never seen one before and only a couple since. Wonder where it is today.

He made it sound as if the 910 was some qualitative leap relative to the 906. All F1 technology? The wheels were same size as used in F1, this is the F1 bit. However, it had the same engine and transmission as the 906. It was about evolutionary changes, simply perfecting a very successful car. No leap…
