JP Chin also shared on a YouTube page dedicated to his vehicles that he was the first person in Malaysia to own the fastest motorcycle in the world at the time –– a Kawasaki ZZ-R1100. 

He has an evident need for speed as he started off with jet ski racing and only moved onto cars when he suffered an injury. Together with his sons, he has participated in the annual Sepang 12 Hours endurance races under their JPM Motorsport team for the past decade.  



Despite his wealth, JP Chin still washes his own car, a Land Rover Defender 90 P300 which was a preferred brand by the late Queen Elizabeth II.  

Another rare car that JP Chin counts as part of his fleet is the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670 SuperVeloce of which only 186 units were ever made.  
 

 

Known as an icon of sorts in the auto world, only 954 units of the American classic sports car, the 1965 Shelby Cobra were produced.
 




One of the crown jewels of the collection is a McLaren P1, known as a superhero amongst supercars. Only 375 units were made, and JP Chin owns only one of two in the entire country.  

Watch his full story here:  

What a mind-boggling collection! You can check out more on their Facebook and Instagram page.
