The Museum
The Allen Motorsports Collection
The museum has a ground floor display
section of 2000 sq. ft and a mezzanine with an additional 1300 sq. ft.
Completed in 1996, the museum was designed by the well known Connecticut
architect Christopher Woerner. Featuring checkerboard pattern floors and
gallery style lighting, the museum's temperature and humidity are carefully
controlled, and a sophisticated security system protects against fire and
the lower life forms.
The collection currently includes
several Triumphs and BSA's including a replica Slippery Sam and a Rocket
III racebike, a Vincent series D Shadow, several HD racers, a batch of
key Honda models from the early 80's, and many other interesting machines.
Included in the collection are four
open wheel racing cars, three with Indianapolis 500 pedigree and a 1978
midget racer. Among the cars is the 1984 DSR driven by Danny Sullivan,
the 1994 Reynard of Jimmy Vasser believed to have finished fourth in the
500 and the 1999 Reynard driven by Formula One driver, Cristiano
da Matta.
All machines are all in very fine
to concours condition. Many have been restored or detailed here at the
museum, and others have been rejuvenated by the fine craftsmen listed on
our links page.
The collection is constantly changing
and evolving, as is this website, so please drop back in from time to time
to see how things are developing.
