This brings back personal nightmares. I co owned an independent dealership in the 70's and I attended a liquidation auction of a company that dealt in collector cars. My partner and I were bidding on a 55 Mercedes Gullwing in driver condition. Everything was there and the car was a perfect candidate for a restoration. We bid it to $40,000 and had to walk away as it was everything we had in cash, it sold for $42,000.00.
I still get cold sweats about that car and many others that got a way. I'm also haunted by a Lamborghini Miura S that passed through my fingertips. Excuse me while I go get the Scotch bottle.
