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!
