      Jay and Osborne need to stick to cars not history, that is not and never was a lighthouse, it is a copy of a windmill that Hugh Auchincloss moved on Hammersmith, it caught on fire during restoration and was destroyed. Hugh then asked Jackie and her siblings to design something to be built for Mrs. Auchincloss, Jackie won the competition. It's is and always was a guesthouse., never a lighthouse, but a copy of a windmill.

    Another great feature from the Automotive Dynamic Duo.
    I remember meeting Mrs Auchincloss in the late ‘70s (after the big house was sold). She lived in a modest house on the SE portion of the property. She drove around town in either a Ford Granada or a Jaguar Mk II. The livery was black with a broad white streak along the shoulder line. You couldn’t t miss her.
    I also saw Doris Duke once. She was in the bleachers at Cardines Field. Someone pointed her out to me. Without her, Newport would have lost a large piece of its architectural heritage.

    If anybody should purchase Jackie Kennedy's old 230SL, it should be you, Jay. You are one of the few people who would restore to it's former glory. But that Packard! Fifty years ago my late Uncle found a 1932 Senior Series Packard in a barn. He did purchase it, and set about restoring it for some thirty years. Just your average middle class guy, with a garage, and a passion. I remember how quiet and powerful that straight eight was, and the huge amount of room in that comfortable back seat. A true labor of love, it was sold after his passing, and now resides somewhere in Southern California. It came up for auction a few years ago and I knew it was his because I recognized his signature on the repair receipts, but no one in the family was in any position to bring the vehicle back within the fold. They are wonderful vehicles.

    Aside from the wheel size, (which makes it even more precarious), that vehicle is the prototype of the motorised sofa. It was not only the first car built, it was the first stolen. (Frau Benz didn't ask her husband's permission to take it on a trip.)
    A German friend was very dismissive of the 230; he called it a call-girl's car.

    The story behind The Benz Motorcart is a story ever woman should know. It was Carl Benz's wife, who took the cart and their two sons and went for the first long journey. A 60 mile trip from Pforzheim to Mannheim, to promote the motorcart. The first automobilist was a woman!
    (Although in reality, her boys did the driving;) )
    And apart from your stereotypes... Where she did her trip is very mild, rarely gets snow in winter.

However, Jay suddenly became VERY interested at 17mins ......Donald "the car is available "..... Jay " what's the condition , ( must have a great value ) . 😂😂 l think we may see this Mercedes sometime ! Unfortunately there is a serious note to end on . There seemed to be an intermittent leak coming from under the seat of the Daimler /Benz as you were driving.....any idea's ? 😂😂😂 Thankyou Donald . And Thankyou Jay . Great show ( as we've come to expect ) .
