Porsche itself has commented on the Ingram Collection, saying that “there is hardly any collection in the world, if not to say none, that can match Ingram in terms of quality”.
However, a devastating explosion at a Durham residence used to store the Ingram Collection occurred on April 10th last week, threatening to make this name a thing of the past. According to Bloomberg, the cause of the explosion was a gas leak caused by a telecommunication company excavating underground cable routes inadvertently damaging the gas lines beneath the ground.
Those inside the building were quickly evacuated but before they could complete the operation, the explosion occurred. At least 1 person was killed in the explosion, 17 of whom were injured including firefighters, and this number is still rising.
The explosion caused part of the building to collapse, affecting the Ingram Collection inside. Observing from aerial photos, a large portion of the Porsche cars inside were destroyed by smoke, fire, and collapsed debris.
The Ingram Collection is owned by Bob Ingram and is home to a series of rare and vintage Porsche supercars. In an August issue of Bloomberg Business, the former CEO of GlaxoSmiteKline shared that he is “especially thrilled by the challenging process of finding rare components” to complete his vintage cars. He is currently refusing to comment on the incident.
