I met Jay Leno years ago at Autobooks when I had my CS. The store owner pointed me out and we went out for a tour and had a little chat about the car. Sounds stupid, but I didn't know who he was...I thought he was just another nice car guy at the time. Then, he drove away in a yellow Miura...I guess that should have been a clue. I've talked to him several time since at the Monterey Historics and at the PB Concours and he's always very approachable and personable.
I was the original owner of a '74 with every Alpina option available for the E9 and I kept it for 30 years. Never thought I'd sell it but in a weak moment I did and got a 58 Speedster that I restored and still have. I still miss the Coupe, it was such a great car!
