    If not for Jay, I would not know much about these cars. Let alone see it in action some 85 years later. To get the history and a walk through of the car's features is invaluable. Renaissance Man? You bet.

      A pur sang type 51 replica will run you 350,000 though
      Only 1/10th the original cost
      And the only difference is they have plane bearing cranks and a modified firing order

  • @BullittGT40
    @BullittGT40 8 лет назад +2

    I love what Jay does and have to give him credit. He takes this car that I'm sure is worth north of 5 million dollars today and given their rarity is essentially priceless and he takes them out on the road. Not only that but gives her some on top of it. That's how it is supposed to be regardless or rarity or value. These things were meant from day one to be taken out and driven, that's where they belong. there is nothing sadder than seeing a beautiful car like this sitting in a garage or warehouse only to be trailed to events on occasion. Here not only does Jay get to enjoy his amazing collection the way it's meant to be enjoyed but countless other get to see these machines out in their element and enjoy them as well. I'm sure if I saw a Bugatti Type 51 roaming the streets it would probably make my day.

I eagerly watched the My Classic Cars episodes you took part in 20-25 years ago with Dennis Gage sharing and driving vehicles typically reserved to photography and editorials in magazines. I have started going back during this lock down and rewatching old episodes and find them equally enjoyable if not more enjoyable as I did in 2012. Thank you again

    For the age that thing was made in, it flies.Very impressive acceleration. Most cars made for the public in that age went decidedly slower, and didn't get there very quickly. Imagine what that must have been like back then. Flying around corners in this busy to operate machine, going faster than most people would ever go in their lifetime, the fame and romance. It must have been terrifying being so naked before the laws of physics.
