Default Pearlglanz Story

Here is a link to the Youtube Video Alex and I made about his journey to get Pearlglanz from France.


I hope it does it justice.

Hi Steve - I just saw your pm and responded. I watched the video earlier - it is an excellent production and an important part of the 928 body of work and research. Thank you for doing it! And thank you Alex for doing it too.

Agree it was fun to watch the video. Thanks for making it. Was very cool to see the segments from France at the broker and driving to Leon. Hope to see it in person at one of the gatherings this year.

Great story, what a journey. "Bookends" is an incredible moment. And good to include Drooman's car in the video! Congrats on the Pittsburgh and Watkins Glen wins. Maybe trailer it up to New Canaan this year?
But just to clear up a point- didn't I read here that it was not the very last 928, just the very last US 928? I think that's alluded to in the video, but not explicitly stated. But the research indicates it's the last one?
But also the highest-optioned example.
Correct?
Regardless, a Holy Grail for sure. Lots of great details.
Cheers

Congratulations to You Alex!

Evey now and then, some of us get lucky, to own a real rare bird!

Nice video. To bad that he does not know that he has the last "Nine Twenty-eight!"

With any luck, maybe Perlglanz will make it to Rendezvous 928 Sharks Discover Columbus! Fingers crossed for good luck!
