Whilst on my lunch break yesterday, I jumped into a WH Smith (a magazine/ book retailer in the UK) and had a look at the guitar and music mags. There was a 5 page spread in one of them about this guy and his collection, with some great pics of rare Ricks, his website is here, well worth a look! http://www.rickenbacker.me.uk

Yes, it's easily the greatest Rick collection (outside of Rickenbacker's own museum) that I know of. The website is great--a real treat to look at. I think it would be a wonderful subject for a full-color book on the collection.
I'd have to say that my favorite guitars in the collection are the Rose-Morris 1993 12-strings, along with the 370/12's with Byrds wiring. Very, very cool! Great collection, and thanks for sharing them with us on the web, Graham! Cheers!
