Jay Leno's Garage is probably the most publicly documented private collection in the world, because he films it. Running to well over a hundred cars and a similar number of motorcycles, it spans pre-war American classics, steam cars he restores and drives, a Chrysler Turbine Car — one of very few outside museums — and a McLaren F1. His stated rule is that everything must be driven.
