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.

One correction that he stated was about the manual transmission. It was an option available from the dealer. He said "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."

He and I thank you for sharing this with us.

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.

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.

Here’s a car that would have been lost without Jay’s interest and ability to bring it back to life. What I appreciate most about Jay’s philosophy of collecting cars is that regardless of the rarity or the value of a particular car, he’s primarily interested in collecting cars that are drivable and not just pristine examples that are viewed but never driven. From what I’ve learned from Jay’s commentary, cars will deteriorate if not driven regularly as designed.

I love listening to Jay explain these artifacts and how they functioned. When the man's brain starts firing on all cylinders, his mouth and body try to catch up with charismatic expression.

Thank you Jay for making rare cars fun and interesting again!

It's obvious you are thrilled to have this car, as you should be. It is a very special car. Not put up properly mind you but i am so happy there were people like the guy that bought this new. I am so happy for you Jay, to own the only one with bumpers. Congratulations Jay. Well deserved that you should find yet another of your favorite collectable. Original and unrestored.

Jay's YouTube channel should be preserved as much as each and all of his vehicles.
Priceless.
Thank you from all of us.

The Talbot-Lago is a beautiful car. The lines are so fluid, the paint and upholstery complement each other well. Glad this one found an owner who is so meticulous in restoring it to its original specs.

Just when you think that Jay is starting to run out of his truly unique and rare cars, he pulls out another beauty. Probably the most original and best kept Talbot-Lago there is. Amazing!

Dear Jay! In case you are interested to know a bit more about Pont-à-Mousson. It is an industrial town in North-Eastern France with a long history of foundery (?). The only remaining factory is providing France and many other countries with drainage pipes. No surprise that they built the gear box for this Talbot Lago. They also built motors for such cars as the Facel Vega among others, but they were so unreliable and so many were broken and exchanged under guarantee. This brought Facel Vega into bankruptcy.
