  This is where Jay shines and makes him such a treasure. Not only can he afford to purchase a car like this but he has a crew that can bring it back to life and, the kicker, he SHARES it all with us and lets us come along for the ride. Thanks Jay and crew, we really appreciate it.

  Not just ownership, but stewardship. What an undertaking to acquire, commission, and maintain these works of art and automotive history. Not an act of selfishness, but of utter selflessness, and to share this with us is the greatest act of graciousness. And Jay's videos seem as if he's talking to just each of as if we were right there with him. What a guy, what an icon.

  Today, I met a guy that managed a Talbot-Lago dealer. His name is Dwayne Karle. I showed him this video. He said that he was proud that Jay is helping people remember the name Talbot-Lago.<br><br>One correction that he stated was about the manual transmission. It was an option available from the dealer. He said &quot;Keep in mind that they were expecting to sell a lot more of this car than they did. It was a high performance car. The manual transmission was an option offered by the dealer, intended to entice more performance oriented drivers.&quot;<br><br>He and I thank you for sharing this with us.

  I think this is when jay is at his best. His passion comes through when talking about a car’s history and the background story on the car.

  I would have liked to see the gentleman&apos;s face when Jay presented his garage for approval.
