Yes yes yes! I was hoping you made it to the tour, and here it is. Thank you sir! Your expertise and enthusiasm, energy and kindness, are an example to us all. All the best to you. Now, don't bother me for a hour anyone, I'm in heaven.

[@STANLIZ4]

This has to be the most exotic collection of cars I have ever seen on YT, or anywhere for that matter!

[@uncleronny6748]

Thanks for reminding me I haven't been to Pebble Beach since 1977...think it was Mercedes that year. There wasn't a Drive back then so I went to the Historic Auto Races at Laguna Seca on Saturday...even helped a racer I didn't know! I was working in a restoration shop back then on these kinds of cars (gullwing and P1)but never on a Pegaso. Those are great cars with their own unique design flair. Your coverage was excellent without getting too chatty Cathy about particular entrants. Thank you!

Un nombre phénoménal de pures merveilles ...Merci Richard ...

[@panupanprasertkaew4918]

[@Lajos279]

Thank you SO much Richard, this is automotive heaven on earth, made possible for us all over the world to watch it, thanks to you! Oh, the wonderful blue Talbot Lago at 54:22 is the 2500 Coupe from 1955. Thanks again and best regards from the Netherlands!

[@johannperaus6890]

Hi Richard! This is really a video worth watching👍. Really nice and rare vehicles. The value of all this car's = 300,000,000 million English Pounds or more? I have really no answer of this. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

[@E92M3Guy]

1:13:56! Now we're talkin'! Have seen a number of other vids of the Tour, but yours is the best, Richard. Thanks so much!

[@davesimpson7416]

Amazing scenes in truck yard, and sensational restorations. Thank you.

[@haulinclasstv]

Hey thanks for this. I'm one of the drivers who brought cars there. It was a great show. Can't wait for next year!

[@jaybarnhardt2197]

Excellent video and commentary of a truly stellar lineup of cars this year. Thank you so very much!

[@jonathancarson1974]

1hr 13min. Now we are talking ❤

[@jeremynoble931]

It felt like being there in person...

[@Zaze09]

Being a car enthusiast my entire life, I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge on so many different cars. Your videos have been the very first time I have seen so many of these amazing designs. Please keep them coming.

[@frankschaeffer241]

Excellent Coverage Richard Michael. It felt like I was there!

[@brookeharris5046]

Thank you again sir for a video that matches the quality of the content

[@stephenscholes4758]

That Zagato Lamborghini was for a long time (from new) Australian-based. I remember when it was first advertised for sale, about 1991. I believe the figure was $700, 000 AUD, huge money back then (and now for a pauper like me 😕)

[@bobmillerick300]

Great video Richard as always. Nice to see Wayne Carini there in the crowd taking in the show.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Great call on that 540K best of show Richard. You had it right from the start. 👍

[@joaobosco8088]

Wonderfull place, wonderfull vídeo, congratulations👍💰

[@zebafilho1188]

Good job

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for the tour Rich. Great job and wonderful incite. 👍👍

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Fantastic!!!! RMO, thank you for another great tour. One day, perhaps I'll make the drive up the coast for this event.

[@mikedodd5178]

Totally. Gobsmacked😮😮

[@aeolus75]

Holy Molly , I can't say anything more 🙂

[@johnwhitla9191]

Fantastic presentation Richard. love your work

[@garygoetz8624]

Thanks for bringing us - along

[@ac2litre]

Sensory overload! The interior of that Horch! The polished copper brake drums (Mercedes). Thanks for your well-informed survey of the ultimate dream car-park :)

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Hi Ian, this weekend is the Hampton Concours of Elegance, you should go!!

[@ac2litre]

@@RichardMichaelOwen I wish I could get there. It looks like a small Pebble Beach!

[@jbacon1861]

That Alfa TZ is the thing.

[@lewbarrett]

Great coverage. Thanks so much.

[@michaeljoiner2503]

Thanks again Richard

[@waters1801]

Amazing video and I love your commentary as well, keep it up!

[@danamilonski4040]

brillant coverage thank you

[@pi.actual]

Tried to get down there early Thursday morning from the bay area - us and about 250,000 other people - traffic was horrendous so we ended up just parking on Hwy 1 at Monastery Beach and saw them on the way down and back up from Big Sur. There were so many people the cell towers were saturated and Goggle Maps didn't work but we got to see them all roar by so it was worth it.

[@brookeharris5046]

Thank you sir so much for sharing

[@paulcharlesworth319]

Wonderful video Richard, but such a lack of Jaguars.😔

[@markpatton1214]

Thanks for sharing

[@bigestudios3890]

thank you, great video!

La belleza y la excelencia en sus mejores exponentes

[@johndavey72]

Thankyou Richard . You must be highly regarded, as you seem to have access to all area's and l also noticed people seem to "get out of your way " so to speak . I'd hate to be a judge ! But that Alfa Romeo A8(?)at about 1hour for me , is the top contender . Because it hasn't had a million dollars thrown at it . But to be honest , l applaud all of these connisseurs who spend millions on a legend that they will never recouperate. Once again , thankyou Richard ........oh l loved your comment ....l don't know Ameeican cars !😄😄

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes Peace out

[@verdict1163]

There is something about a pre-war Bugatti...

[@agatolwey6218]

In that Mercedes where you thought the side box was an extra gas tank, its actually a tool box. Same in that last RR you showed before the driving footage.

[@bennyhannover9361]

47:50 this Porsche spyder 550 must be then the car that Umberto Maglioli drove to victory at Sicily , Targa Florio 1957…?!

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Benny thanks for watching, yes this is Maglioli's Porsche chassis 550A-0101

[@pasha12343]

Great review 👍🙂 question did I hear say the GT40 was a British car ?

[@stephenscholes4758]

Where did you think it came from? Later versions had a lot of American input, but of course it's British, a development of a Lola which incidentally used a SBC

[@pasha12343]

@@stephenscholes4758 thanks for the information. I thought it was Ford so was thinking American 👍🙂

[@alainpannetier2543]

Thanks. astonishing plateau. But it's not "coop", it's "coupé" (like "koo-pey"). Coop is for the chicken. Coupé is for the cars. It means "cut".

[@jonathancarson1974]

Richard, from what era are you uninterested, or are you still curious about some modern stuff like Pagani, or Aston etc....

[@ianalderton6683]

don't restore, preserve ; )

[@rocketeer549]

Really enjoyed your walk through and impassioned descriptions. I cringed every time you pronounced Porsche.
