I thought the forum might get a kick out of this...a former Treasurer and well respected member of our yacht club in Maine passed away recently at age 99, and below was a line from his obituary:
"He was an automobile enthusiast as well and raced his Type 35C Bugatti in New England and New York during the '30s. Later he purchased the first XK 120 Jaguar sold in New England. His 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 sedan, bought new and which he faithfully maintained, survives him and is now owned by his son."
