Ian Hope may own more cars than any other person in the country.
That'd be quite a boast in one of the world's most car-mad countries, but even if other collectors beat him on the number, they would struggle to compete with Hope's commitment to staying in the company of his collection.
After Hope has shuffled off his mortal ignition coil, and is cremated, his ashes will be brought back to his Hawke's Bay British Car Museum, which doubles as his home, to reside with his collection of 471 cars.
"I've got my own hearse here ready with a casket on board ready to take me to the crematorium," Hope says. "It will bring my ashes back to be kept in the museum."
