Brian,
I haven't. I know Jon Shirley is pretty protective of his cars, and Greg Whitten is a little more open. Story opportunities like this I like to keep in my arsenal in the event I can arrange syndication of the story for larger publications.
They are very nice guys, with fun collections. Jon also has Schumacher's championship F1 car from about 5 seasons ago, with a spare V10 on a stand, one of 10 275GTS/4 (4cam spyder,) a 166MM. Whitten has a lightweight Jag E-Type racer, an Aston DB3R, a GT40 road-spec car. Brilliant autos.

Sammy,
Have you asked these guys if you could do a story about the cars? Sounds like the story couldn't be laid out any better for an automobile writer.
