At Lime Rock Park\u2019s 32nd<\/sup> \u201cSunday in the Park Concours d\u2019 Elegance presented by Bentley,\u201d 224 vehicles, in 29 classes, were presented and judged. Under the watchful eyes of organizers Kent Bain and Murray Smith\u2014with Lady Susie and Sir Stirling Moss alongside\u2014when the results were tabulated, a 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 owned by Peter Sachs of Stamford, Conn., was awarded Best of Show. The stellar cream yellow car had been entered in Class 3, \u201cRisky but Racy, competition machines of merit pre-1945.\u201d\u2028\u2028This car was delivered to Tazio Nuvolari, for the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans\u2014Alfa Romeo teamed Nuvolari with Raymond Sommer (who didn\u2019t trust Nuvolari with the car!). In the race, they built a two-lap lead but had to pit due to a fuel leak, which is said to have been plugged with chewing gum. Nuvolari broke the lap record nine times and went on to win the race by about a quarter-mile.<\/p>\n

\"Exner\"<\/a>The Class 3 winner was a 1934 MG K3 Magnette, presented by the Collier Collection\u2019s \u201cRevs Institute,\u201d which sent four other cars to Lime Rock: a 1964 and a 1970 Abarth, an OSCA MT-4, and the 1935 MG PA-PB Leonidis, winner of Class 1, \u201cOut in the Elements, open vehicles of distinction pre-1945.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virgil Exner\u2019s stunning one-off dream car, the 1960 Plymouth XNR, was entered into Class 23, \u201cAmerica\u2019s Finest, Post-WWII.\u201d Up against a phalanx of Lincolns and Cadillacs, the XNR took home the trophy. Early in his career, Exner had a stint with famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who drew up all the designs for Lime Rock\u2019s buildings, pit lane and training facilities in 1956. Regrettably, the track\u2019s investors ran out of money before anything of Loewy\u2019s could be built.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Choice went to an imposing but still approachable 1926 Kissel Speedster, owned by Andrew Benenson. Benenson also owns the 1951 Cisitalia C 202 that won Class 17, \u201cThe Other<\/em> Italians,\u201d while elsewhere,\u2028\u2028 Joe Freeman entered his 1947 HRG 1100 Roadster and won Class 8, \u201cFor Road & Track, the cars the boys brought home, sports cars 1945-1955.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
