2010 Concours of America
Last weekend the Concours d'Elegance of America at Meadow Brook brought together one of the most impressive collection of cars in recent times. Along with two world class choices for Best of Show, some expertly curated classes made this year even more distinct from the last.
One of the most immediately impressive displays was reserved for the AF/X drag racers from the mid-sixties. Super Dutys, Z11s, 427s and Gas Ronda's Mustang were some of the highlights. Another show stopper was the collection of Joe Bortz who brought four GM concept cars for a central display.
Not limited to just classics, the show also had space for modern supercars including the current lineup from Lingenfelter. Much of their collection also filled out the supercar display which had a very original Vector W8, a Lamborghini Reventon and a Rossion.
Our gallery from the Concours of America will be growing over the next week but we wanted to get this up as soon as possible. Next year the concours will be relocating to Plymouth, Michigan so we wonder how much different the show will look.
More Top Lots for Monterey
The Monterey auctions will set many precedents this year and one of them will probably be this Porsche 917. It's offered as part of a large Porsche collection at Bonhams' sale at the Quail. The untypical roadster body was built to group 7 specification for the Interseries, a European version of the can-am.
This year Monterey might have more top cars on offer than the market can swallow. RM Auctions has put together a stellar list of Ferraris. Some of the latest cars include a rare Ferrari 375 MM Berlinetta, a FXX Evolution, a 250 Testa Rossa and a 500 Mondial Berlinetta. As if that wasn't enough, Gooding & Company will have one of the ultimate SWBs known as the SEFAC Hot Rod... Read More
Artcurial @ Le Mans
At last weekend's Le Mans Classic, Artcurial held an inaugural auction with some impressive lots. None was more spectacular than the McLaren F1 GTR which failed to find a new owner with a top bid of €1,800,000.
Our gallery by Dirk de Jager includes most of the cars and their realized prices. All future auctions on Supercars.net will be treated in a similar way. Top sale went to a silver Ferrari 275 GTB/4 which fetched €837,474.... Read More
