Jay Leno and a silver T77a. Updated

Did Jay Leno buy Canada’s John Long’s T77a?

Something on its history:

The 1938 car was one of the last T77a’s manufactured. Sold in 1938, itis assumed that it was built in 1937. Its first owner was Hugo Lansky. After WW2 it ended up in the Soviet Union. In 2000 a Russian gentleman contacted a Tatra website with the message he had inherited an old Tatra from his late uncle,which he wanted to sell. The T77A was bought by a Canadian collector who took the car to Koprivnice, to RS restorations, where it was restored to a high standard.  The car got a replica body but the original body is still around and complete.

The T77awas presented at several shows, exhibitions and concours d’elegances and was present at this year’s Pebble Beach, where Jay Leno discussed it with the Canadian owner. Now Jay Leno has said that the car has come to his collection: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/
