Awesome Car Collections: Simon Cowell

As we have seen in some previous blogs, there are quite a few known faces with a penchant for quick motors. But there’s a difference between just liking a fast car and being what’s recognised as ‘a bit of a collector’.

Simon Cowell, love him or hate him, can definitely be called ‘a bit of a collector’. In a relatively short period of time, Mr X has waded through quite a handsome selection of motors. And by handsome, I mean well over thirty and counting…

 

Not only that, he also proved he’s no slouchy show-off, personally posting a lap time that proved pretty hard to beat in Clarkson’s Top Gear ‘Star In A Reasonably Priced Car’ competition.

It would appear that if he likes a make, he has a pop at more than one model, more often than not. In the case of Jaguar and Rolls Royce, quite a few. So here’s an A-Z of the cars we know he’s owned at some point.

 

AC Cobra Mk IV

A proper Boys Own sports car, who wouldn’t love a rip round in one of these classics?

 

Aston Martin DB7

 

Aston Martin DB9 Volante

No collection would be complete without an Aston Martin and he’s snaffled two of the very best for some understated British panache.

Audi A8

 

Audi R8

Ah, the R8: Audi, already streets ahead in the style stakes, pretty much rewrote the books with this one.

 

Bentley Arnage T

 

Bentley Azure

 

Bentley Continental GT

Why have one, when one can have three?

 

BMW 7 Series

One of the more practical ‘about town’ vehicles, presumably for getting around the place without being too noticed.

 

Bugatti Veyron

Bought in LA for something in the region of 1mill, Cowell sold it after just two rides. What’s he not telling us?

 

Caterham Seven

Now, there’s a ride.

 

Ferrari California

 

Ferrari F430 Spider

 

Ferrari 360

Ah, Ferrari. Another pre-requisite for any discerning palate. Which one would you have? I have to say, I do like the 599…

 

Ford Bronco

A bit of a funster pick, for those off-road moments.

Jaguar Eagle Speedster

 

Jaguar E-Type Series 2

 

Jaguar F-Type Coupe

 

Jaguar XK

 

Jaguar XK120

Well, a self-confessed Jaguar fan, he’s pretty much covered all the bases with this little lot; the Eagle Speedster being the privately-built new version of the old E-Type, but with upgraded everything. Nice.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

If you wanna be loud, there are louder statements in the Lambo shed, but I’m guessing this is loud enough. No need to be upstaged by your car now, is there?

 

Mercedes SL55 AMG

Another practical number, presumably. Tho quite a slick one, admittedly.

 

Mini Cooper S

The ultimate cheeky run-around, very much a tongue in cheek statement when seen in context of the other cars he has. I guess if anyone, he can afford to crack a joke like that.

Mitsubishi Evo

Ok, so this is where the race-training came in then.

 

Porsche 911

 

Porsche 918 Spyder

The 918 is a bonafide monster, but presumably one he can tame, his stable being what it is.

 

Range Rover

 

Range Rover Autobiography

Two more fashionable statements, good for getting out of town for the weekend, or just cruising the City…

Rolls Royce Phantom

Not just one, you understand, but three. One in LA, one in London and a coupe for when you fancy, well… a coupe moment.

 

Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3

He likes Rollers, what can I say?

 

I’m quite surprised by the omissions as much as anything... like not seeing a GT40, a Lotus, some American muscle, or a Koenigsegg in there. But hey, it’s his collection, not mine.

 

And there’s still time...

Frequently Asked Questions

View all
What should I do if my order is delayed?

Most delays are temporary. Follow these steps:

  1. Check your tracking link in the Shipping Confirmation email.
  2. Wait 24–48 hours after the estimated date — carriers sometimes update late.
  3. If no update in 3 business days, contact us with your Order Number and Tracking Number.
  4. We’ll investigate and either reship free or issue a full refund if lost. Note: During sales or holidays, add 1–2 extra days.
Can I change my delivery address after placing the order?
Unfortunately, we are unable to amend delivery addresses once an order has been placed. For security purposes, items can only be dispatched to the billing address associated with the payment method. We kindly ask that you carefully review your shipping and billing details at the checkout screen before confirming your purchase
What will happen if I miss the courier?

The delivery driver will leave a card saying that he has made a delivery attempt, along with instructions on what to do next.

What should I do if my delivery is overdue?

We do ask you to allow up to three working days for courier deliveries. If your goods still have not appeared after that time or no one has contacted you by email or telephone, please email us at [email protected].

How do I track my order?

After placing an order online, you will receive a confirmation email. Following this your order will be set to processing and then delivered once it has been dispatched. After you receive the delivered notification via email, you will receive an email or text message from the courier with your tracking number. 

I have not received an invoice - what should I do?

Although we carry a large range of wheels and tyres in stock, we cannot have everything, so in some cases if a product is being sent directly from the manufacturer an invoice will not be included in the parcel. You should receive an invoice by mail a few days later. If you do not receive an invoice, please email [email protected] so we can arrange a copy.

What happens if my goods arrive damaged?

Very occasionally goods get damaged in transit. We always inspect the products before we pack them but after they leave our hands accidents do happen. Please sign the delivery docket with the driver 'damaged' if the outer packaging looks damaged in any way. We then ask you to inspect goods upon receipt and notify us of any damage within 24 working hours by calling us on 01274 877787 or sending us an email at [email protected]. 

If the goods have been damaged in transit and are faulty, we reserve the right to replace the product. We will of course arrange a collection for the damaged parts and arrange replacements as soon as possible. Please keep all packaging and do not try to fit the damaged parts.

I’ve received the wrong part - what should I do?

If something is not right about the goods that you have received, please email us at [email protected] or telephone us to let us know. All goods are sold to the manufacturer's Conditions of Sale and Guarantee. Goods specially ordered cannot be returned for credit. We reserve the right to make a handling charge on goods returned against orders correctly executed.

What are the advantages of alloy wheel upgrades?

Aftermarket alloys are typically lighter than their stock counterparts, reducing unsprung weight and improving the performance of your car. They’re also available in larger diameters and widths, allowing larger brakes and wider tyres to be installed for increased cornering performance and stopping power.

What is the lifespan of alloy wheels?

Alloy wheels have a far longer lifespan than steel wheels. When well cared for, they can last for decades - and they can be easily refurbished and restored to look as good as new.
