Meet British Man Who Has 400 Cars



Slide 2 of 51: Here's the man himself. He's just celebrated his 80th birthday, owns 14,000 lock-ups in the Midlands and the south east of England - and he's still buying classic cars to add to his collection. Rodger appears at number 623 in the 2017 Sunday Times Rich List and is thought to have a net worth in the region of £180 million.His car collection is said to be worth £40 million alone - or around £100,000 per car on average. And while some are worth much less than that, many are worth much, much more.

He's just celebrated his 80th birthday, owns 14,000 lock-ups in the Midlands and the south east of England - and he's still buying classic cars to add to his collection.
Rodger appears at number 623 in the 2017 Sunday Times Rich List and is thought to have a net worth in the region of £180 million.
His car collection is said to be worth £40 million ($54 million USD) alone - or around £100,000 ($135,186 USD) per car on average. And while some are worth much less than that, many are worth much, much more.
 
When Rodger Dudding bought an almost-new Jensen FF back in 1968, little did he know that half a century later he would still own it - along with two more, plus more than 400 other classic cars and around 65 motorbikes.
He even owns 24 - yes 24 - Aston Martin Lagondas - or 4% of the entire production of the striking William Towns designed luxury car.
Buying whatever takes his fancy, Rodger has built up what he claims is the biggest car collection in the UK, and probably Europe too.
Called Studio 434 and not open to the public.

Called Studio 434 and not open to the public, Autocar recently got the chance to look around the incredible hoard of rarities.
Slide 3 of 51: Just 645 Williams Towns-Designed Lagondas were made and Rodger owns 24 of them. The cache includes two of the four long-wheelbase cars made - one with left-hand drive and one with right.Slide 5 of 51: One of 11 Ferraris in the Dudding collection, this Dino is Rodger's favourite Prancing Horse of all. To acquire the Dino Rodger had to buy the entire collection from the widow of a friend who died - of the half-dozen cars this was the only one that he was really keen to buy.Slide 6 of 51: The first purpose-built military scout cars were based on Austin Sevens, like this 1929 example. It's not known how many were made, but of those that were, most were issued to Britain's Royal Artillery to allow Battery Commanders to move between observation points.

Slide 11 of 51: As well as his 420 cars, Rodger also has around 65 motorcycles in his collection. Some are rare and some are less so - and then there's this unique 48-cylinder Kawasaki. Despite the huge cylinder count the total displacement is just 4.2 litres - and because there's a separate 75cc single-cylinder engine required to start the main powerplant, it's really a 49-cylinder Kawasaki.
Slide 9 of 51: It's taken a long time for the electric car to become mainstream and it's not hard to see why when you see what was on offer nearly 50 years ago. This was Zagato's contender, the (not) fast, sporty and luxurious Zele which was produced between 1974 and 1976.Bizarrely, the car was officially available in the UK through Tony Crook, the owner of Bristol Cars, the maker of fast, sporty and luxurious cars.
Slide 16 of 51: The Jensen-Healey Roadster that was produced between 1972 and 1976 is pretty well known, but much more obscure is this 2+2 shooting brake that was built for just six months before Jensen went bust in 1976. Just 500 or so were made, each mechanically identical to the Roadster; Rodger owns three of them.
Slide 14 of 51: When it was unveiled at the 2008 British motor show there were great hopes that Britain could lead the world when it came to high-performance electric cars. But after the 402bhp prototype was shown it all went quiet. Rodger now owns that car, but Lightning reckons it's still in with a chance of putting the GT into production...
Slide 20 of 51: Rodger owns a huge array of Jensens but one of the prettiest is this 541, built in 1956. First shown with a steel body in 1953, by the time production started two years later the 541 featured a glassfibre body with power supplied by a triple-carb 4.0-litre straight-six borrowed from the Austin A135 Princess.
