Worth waiting for. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing the wealth.
I see the wonderful little Bugatti won two ribbons. Were they for best in class and what else? Do you know who owns it?
The T.23 Brescia Bugatti belongs to a Sig. Giuseppe Redaelli and won the Chairman's Trophy. The body is by Lavocat et Marsaud. The other ribbon must have been for its placement in its class.
Thank you very much. So many 250 GTO's - soon they are going to lose their value as people will start to think "there are so many of the darn things around!".
Interesting mention of Jason Castriota; I met him at Ville d'Este when he launched that funny Corvette red-thing (which I disliked) - but has since not done much despite having achieved so much in such a short time prior to that. Hope he does good things in the future.
PS: Hey, isn't that Alain de Cadenet in two photos?
Well spotted Etienne! It is indeed Alain de Cadenet. He's kind of my lifestyle hero. It was cool seeing him in person.
amazing pics, as always. Jason Castration was there! OMG. lol.
Very nice photos. Alain is a big Alfa lover and nice to talk cars with. I remember when I saw him at Sebring for the first time. He thought since I was American I would want him to do a racing Corvette installment on his classic car series. Then we got to talking about 2.9 Alfa's and the Lemans coupe. The debate was should a car be restored to as delivered to Alfa Corse like the Lemans coupe is now, or as it last raced by the factory. For race car nuts he is a dictionary of vintage race cars.
Your lineup of GTO's looks almost like the collection they had at Laguna Seca in 2004. Was the 250 GTO/LMB in the line? I think Wang still owns it if I remember correctly.
