I was working on Top Gear with the Pyro Crew with the Zenvo when it caught fire.....and no it was not the pyro crew that caused the issue !!!. The car was awesome, but had many issues. The clutch burned out, the headlight leaked, the rear brake bound and caught fire and it was touch fragile, but what a beauty of a car. Stig was telling us how difficult the ST1 was to drive as half through a corner, the turbo lights up, dumping several hundred horses and would catch out most drivers. The was early doors, so do hope Zenvo has addressed these issue as the car is stunning.
Little history on Jørgen Strøjer Hansen. Jørgen is the 5th generation of Strøjer Tegl (Strøjer Bricks) founded around 1850 it was handed over to him by his father in 1984. In 2021 Jørgen handed over the company to his son Joachim Strøjer Hansen. The Strøjer collection was founded by Jørgen who has been collecting cars for over 40 years.
You must have a photographic memory my man the way u go through the cars talking about there history like you know them intimately…when you must be just remembering what you’ve been told fairly recently..very impressive 👏
So cool to shout out Seen Through Glads when reaching the 360 Challenge Stradale, you’re a legend Tim! Not only a great content creator but such a humble person as well!
I like alot how each room has its own style I would never get bored walking around this place 🤩🔥 The collection of Ferraris alone in there is just crazy 🤯 but to have the 250 gto in your collection along side them is another level of crazy👏
funny thing as well is that it's in Denmark, notorious for very high taxes on cars. Must have taken a lot of patience and money to build it up over the years. Come to think of it, I don't know why I haven't ever been there when it's in my country. I better change that.
beautiful collection, and a wonderful presentation. You've come a long way since the early days Shmee, you've become a great host for your own car show.
As a Danish guy,. i wanna say how impressed i am at how well you pronounced "Strøjer samlingen" its a pretty difficult word for any person that isnt from scandinavia. :D
I enjoyed the small museums and car showrooms in Sweden. Random rooms at a Moose reserve, to side rooms in the Husqvarna museum. You have some great coverage and access, thank for sharing.
The owner of the collection is a really cool guy. I was working roadside assistance, and was dropping off a more regular car at the collection. He came out and we chatted a bit. I spotted the Veyron up in the window and said to him "When I'm done unloading this, I'll go ahead and load up the Veyron and head on out!" He replied with "Oh, that old piece of sh*t?! Yea, you can have that!" hahaha
Tremendous collection. So many of the red cars too. Jaw dropping. Thanks for taking us along. If you haven't been to the French national collection in Mulhouse, you must. It's huge.
I know there are name plates at the front, but I bet Shmee still could go through that entire inventory and know them all instantly. Such a brilliant guy
When i was there during an open house a few years ago did not seem anywhere near this stacked.. .. Who knew selling bricks could land you in metal this special?.. Truly an amazing tour.. As a dane, thank you for the coverage.. Can't wait to see the Zenvo.. (small note for the description.. Samlingen means The Collection.. So you've essentially written The The Strøjer Collection.. The Strøjer Samling, would be proper danish in context)
10:39 That’s a Group C2 (called LMP2 today) URD, with the engine transplanted from a BMW M1 Procar. I know because, among other races, my late father completed the 1986 Le Mans in it, and before that drove the M1 Procar from where the engine was taken. It brings me a lot of joy to see it being so well taken care of.
That’s the best collection I have seen. I know there are others maybe more HyperCars but that has such a range and reason for them all. Not just throwing money at it, thought has been put into it, and boat load of cash.
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think the Strojer Collection is Absolutely Incredible and I'm glad the team let you share your experience and I can't wait to see your Zenvo TSR-S update
The BMW Le Mans is a big part of the danish Le Mans history. It was driven by Jens Winther at his first Le Mans. That was the first time a danish driver competed at Le Mans:)
You don't half get about abit. Good to see you using that beautiful car collection of yours. The travel element of the vlog coupled with supercars works Tim. Cheers for taking us along.
Alle of them, are Ready to drive... 2 times a year Thers is a op en house for the public... and id you are lucky the owner drive around i some for the Really ind cars
In malaysia, its 300% for anything not made locally. The local cars are terrible so youll want something european either way. Road tax is also insane for anthing above 2.6 litres. Dont get me started on insurance
As a Dane, I am very happy and proud to see this Danish collection of marvelous cars! Now I just need to visit the place myself ;-) I am looking forward to see videos with your own Zenvo @Shmee150, driving around in beautiful Denmark 🇩🇰 When will you get it?
Must agree! Lovely and amazing collection. Glad to see you enjoy it and share it with the world. Was lucky to go there myself last Saturday. Jørgen himself is so much joy and happiness, too.
So happy to see the video Tim, I have been waiting ever since I wrote to you on Twitter to go to the Strøjer Collection and since I saw you filming your intro back in wednesday, It was me who was in the orange mail van who b-lined over to the toilet facilities. Still too bad I didn't get to say hi, but I saw you were filming and didn't want to interupt, but you made up for it with amazing coverage of the cars. Hope you continue to have a great day!
@@Shmee150 Yes an awesome place that I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone interested in cars to visit! Ps. Thanks for answering so many of my comments over various videos and social platforms, it really made my day!
He can read ! He obviously knows his cars but like he has said in the past he’s not that much into classic cars so that’s why you can see him reading the cars names sometimes
Very cool to see you here in Denmark :) I never knew about this amazing collection, but I will definately try to find more info and see when the next guided tour is ;)
Really cool that danish people like myself are able to own cars like these even though out prices are double the us. When living in denmark you never see old vintage cars like these or even “normal” ferarris. The only time i saw an old limo driven was when the royal family drove past my house and actually waved to me. But really cool video Tim, and know that you are always welcome in Denmark
The zenvo looks lovely in just the one colour and the orange suits it very much awesome it looks better without the mad flappy wing in my opinion same with the egg similar spec to your Ferraris understated colours on a mad car awesome Truly awesome
I was younger and didn't remember the fire story with the ST1 but remember it being on that Top Gear episode quite vividly because it was the same episode they took the small engined cars to Chernobyl it seems. In the one where they did a 24 hour race round Silverstone in a 3 series BMW, the Ascari A10 was there and I was getting the two cars mixed up in my head for a bit
Sorta wish you spent a bit more time on the Fisker Karma :-D Really unique, and beautifully designed, not surprising coming from Henrik Fisker. Looking forward to the Fisker Ocean!
I love the Ferraris like the 250 GTO and F40. Rare to see the 288 GTO. I think the building has a fire sprinkler system. Perhaps this is something that needs to be added to the Schmuseum too?
Blown away is an understatement. The sad part is thinking of new collectors and how unobtainable so many of these cars are now, you'll most likely never see these kind of collections ever again.
Yes, all those air-conditioned man caves with rows of the special operations custom-painted model in the limited run of the heritage model of the Asetto Sportivo Corsa edition of a run-of-the-mill supercar, cynically designed to milk an extra $300k from an ultra-rich buyer, who will never own anything prior to 1990 of interest. This collection has a similar feel to Jay Leno's, but the royalty cars and film cars it unique. Tax wealth!
The BMW M1 URD is quite a national treasure when it comes to danish involvement in motorsport. It was driven by Jens Winther the first danish driver to drive at Le Mans in 1986
Even as a Dane I have sadly never seen this collection, though I wan't to. My only claim to fame is formerly living close to the Zenvo Factory, in the small South Sealand town of Præstø, but I may add that also another Dane: Ole Sommer had a number of Danish made cars built during several years (as his fathers one S1 model), and his Museum and Collection still exists in Nærum, and may be worth a visit? His last creation was a really serious built AC Cobra/Ferrari - looking sportscar, and not just built on the top of a former car, of a kind, but from an, except the Volvo Engine and Transmission (Sommer owned a Volvo Dealership), totally new base and with 50 years Warranty against Rust! A major Danish Problem!
Schmee150, I and many others are very happy with your videos. 1 - You drive most of the cars. 2 - We get the opportunity to see many beautiful cars and beautiful car collections. But something has to get off my chest. I think with this collection it is a shame that you only make a video of so 17 minutes. This collection is worth to split it into several episodes of about 45 minutes, so that you can go more extensively into the many beautiful cars. Or are you only allowed a certain amount of time by the owner to be in the buildings where the cars are located????
