OK... so I am sitting at the Quail Motorsports Event show... showing the Beeskow... and NOBODY there with their Ferraris and Delehayes and Bugattis has ever seen a Rometsch Beeskow... so there are a lot of questions to be answered etc. And then this little lady in her 70's or so shows up... She says... "I have a Rometsch"... And yes... that always gets my attention! especially from somebody I have never met. So she goes on about the car... a Lawrence... and we trade phone numbers and addresses She and her late husband bought it many years ago... and it is original. She drives a 1977 beetle as her daily driver. A very nice lady. After about 15 minutes she says... well... I have to go now. I have a car in the Bonhams and Butterfield Auction. I ask... "which one?"... she says... "it's the Talbot Lago.. it's on the cover of the catalog" WOW Then she says... yes... it's kind of ugly. I have four more at home... I like them a lot more. So I hear later that her Talbot Lago sold for 4.3 million US$. No... you can't have her phone number! Check this link though... https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/uptospeed/2008/08/talbot-lago-sel.html [ATTACH]1985[/Attach]

What? She only had five Talbot Lagos? Life can be pretty rough sometimes, eh?:lol:
