Absolutely! It drives me crazy when I see a news story about some guy who stuffed a bunch of great cars into a warehouse or barn and then just left them to sit and decay. I don't mind a rich guy who actually uses his money in a way that gives others some pleasure too, like Jay. I'll never own anything like these cars, but thanks to rich guys who don't just hide their jewels in a vault, these men share their love with us plebeians.

Figoni and Falaschi created some of the most stunning artworks in automotive history, with achingly beautiful designs. If you think something like this is amazing in a video, it pales in comparison to witnessing in person. I've been fortunate enough to see some of these very artworks at a few Concours events, and they're just drop-dead gorgeous. I've even seen the 1939 Delahaye shown on the turntable in the brief footage of Mr. Mullin's museum, which also made an appearance in one of the Transformers movies. These Figoni and Falaschi designs always attract enormous crowds at such events, as you might well imagine.

Dealing with a complicated electro-mechanical device like an 80-year-old pre-selector gearbox is like unto keeping an antique watch working correctly - hard to find the "guy" to get it that way; hard to keep it that way; likely to be as much a frustration as a pleasure.

There were three of us on the tour with a docent taking us around. The display was only Bugatti's and WOW was it worth it!!!!!

There is a reason he owns this car . . . I think the key to all this is that Jay wasn't pushing the clutch all the way down to the floor. Apparently the mechanical linkage required the disengagement and shift, and Jay didn't achieve the shift. A follow-up showing a reset or adjustment to the linkage would have made a great clip . . . Yes, he was grimacing as Jay drove it! Reminds me of the first time my Dad let me learn using a clutch/5-speed in his Fiat 124 coupe. I did manage to learn in one session the W-clutch/accelerator moves and even doing turnarounds.

Jay starts the car in gear, pops the clutch back on, "Bing!". Hey, not blaming Jay. Car with wheel on wrong side, 3 buttons to push, and a dohickey column shift requiring clutch and gas feathering foot action, BOTH feet. While cameras rolling and the owner looking stern and worried something is about to go wrong (maybe until that moment, he'd forgotten he didn't learn the nuances of operation on the fly himself?). Amazing car. Considering the era, just jaw dropping how advanced it was. Other than the front fenders being a bit bulbous to my eye, it's just fantastic.

Honestly not a huge fan of the color, would much prefer to see the original blue. Hard to fault a car so stunningly beautiful however.

HELMUT ALTO A riveting read but almost all complete and utter bollocks. France's war wins amount to very little in the grand scheme of things and their famous ruinning away is famous because they're best at it. As for the world war stuff - don't make me laugh. France was one of the first occupied countries and stayed that way pretty much start to end. It only survived at all through other countries help. The French make some good chese, wine and have a very nice climate to go on holiday in. Their cars and army are pretty rubbish though. The morale here is know what you're good at and stick to it.

Well, I just learned I've been mispronouncing the name of my very first car for 61 years!! I grew up not too far from Jay, in Reading, Ma and in 1958, at age 14, I wanted an old car to work on. My Dad was in an English car phase (He had a Hillman) and somehow, his friends at "British Continental Motors" in Boston convinced him they had the perfect car for me to work-on. For $100.00, they delivered to my driveway an English 1949 Sunbeam Talbot 90. Since then I had always pronounced it "TalBOT", now I learn it's "TalBEAU. I guess you're never too old to learn a thing or two. Though it didn't run at the time (and never did) the body was in great condition and had a lot of the design elements of the Talbot-Lago: similar front end though the headlights were in the fenders, those fenders were gracefully curved in that same teardrop style, into the rest of the body, the back half of which was rather boxy. Unfortunately, even just getting a set of Whitworth spanners took 6 months and getting engine parts near impossible. It ended up departing my driveway the same way it came: on a hook.
