It\u2019s always been about collecting for me, I\u2019ve only ever driven one and I realised how useless I was then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I don\u2019t want to get good at this, it\u2019ll cost me millions!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s collection started with the Moffat car and soon expanded.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1012201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SC-1993_Allan_Moffat_Racing_Miedecke_Allam.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Cenovic EB during the 1993 Bathurst 1000.
