==History==
The Revs Institute was founded by Miles Collier in 2008. Collier's grandfather was New York City advertising mogul and real estate developer Barron Collier who founded Collier County, Florida in 1923. Collier's father, C. Miles Collier, and uncle Sam Collier played an outsized role in the emergence of sports-car racing in the United States.<ref name="RoadTrack1"/>
==Collections==
The automobiles in the Miles Collier Collections at the Revs Institute are working vehicles. At any given time, some are loaned to other museums or events for exhibition, run in historic races, undergoing maintenance or preservation work, or receiving a major restoration. The first floor holds mostly sports cars, with a wing dedicated to Porsche. Most of the collection's race cars are on the second floor. Some of the cars in the collection on display include:<ref name="RoadTrack1"/>
