Veerendra Heggade has a passion for classic cars and hence the museum. LIke PRajeep mentioned, many of these are donated.
There was a 50s AJS bike that I used to see during my college days. Two years ago, I spoke to the first owner (still rides it at 70+) to see if he would sell it to me. He said he is restoring it with spares from UK. Once he is satisfied with the resto, he will donate it to the Dharmasthala Museum. I did not try to pursue further knowing the faith people have in this temple (inlcuding myself).
