    If you're referring to Silicon Valley Auto Group it was recently purchased by British Motor Cars of San Francisco.

    I talked to Kjell at the SF Auto Show and he said he wanted a RR dealership again and had to buy the other stuff to get it. :)

    Jensen Healey and De Tomaso Mangusta (the Mustang based car) were tries. :)

    He does have a Zagato Bentley on sale.

    Yea thats the same guy.

    Sad, if it all goes, there has been a exotic car place in Los Gatos for many years, early 70's. I remember driving past the Ferrari of Los Gatos one Christmas and they had three 275 GTBs in the showroom. Two red one yellow.

    I beat you by a few years :) My family moved to Saratoga in 1958 when Dad tranferred to Lockheed in Palo Alto (before Sunnyvale). Los Gatos First Methodist Church was our religious choice and if I remember correctly, Moore Buick was there followed by Ken Keegan Imports. I tell ya, Sunday School break was really cool! :)

    Yes we had a great time. I cant wait to get back so we can do it again.

    Just drove the Evora down Rodeo Drive here in Beverly Hills. Even in this town the car gets attention.
