Shownotes Transcript

In a new VladTV exclusive, Vico and Dan, the masterminds behind Patina Collective, shared insights about their extraordinary $100 million Mercedes collection—reportedly the largest in the world. The collection includes over 330 cars, most from the opulent 1980s and 1990s, an era dominated by affluent owners like drug lords, cartel bosses, and stockbrokers. The two collectors, hailing from separate personal collections in Canada and the United States, embarked on their ambitious journey in 2021, aiming to curate a museum-worthy assembly of these prized vehicles. Throughout their tour, Vico and Dan explained the logistics behind importing and housing all of the vehicles. The highlight vehicles that the collective showcased included Princess Diana's $1 million 1000SEL, a bullet & bomb proof Mercedes, a $150,000 AMG hammer engine, and much more. The Patina Collective’s mission ultimately celebrates a forgotten era of automotive history, breathing new life into these timeless classics.
