It is a fantastic automobile and a great video from Jay Leno, whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for preserving our technological legacy, similarly to Bill Harrah from a generation earlier.

Imagine what a Doble could be with a few processors handling all the complexity....

I had to think of Fred Dibnah's steam car. https://youtu.be/XvjHxXl8KYI?t=4m2s

Yeah I really wanted a Doble for a few years. I eventually realized that it would take either a decade or two of hunting, or a few hundred grand to make it happen and gave up.
