Ritz-Carlton Hotel host of Amelia Island Concours The 12th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance was held under perfect brilliant sunny skies at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Amelia Island, in north-east Florida. Once again the array of superb automobiles was simply amazing, covering virtually every genre since man took to motive power. The 2007 edition feature was the cars of endurance racing legend, and five times Le Mans winner, Derek Bell, with a wide ranging selection of the cars that he drove during his motor racing career on display, including a Ferrari 312 F1 car, a pair of Mirage sports racing cars and a trio of 962 Porsches. Aside from this special display class there were also classes remembering the great road races, with a Mille Miglia group, a Carrera Panamericana class and another for Targa Florio cars. Within these there were some spectacular historic sports racing and GT cars, with the Carrera examples being particularly attractive with their varied advertising logos.
33 different classes there were a wide variety of luxury cars However, it wasn’t only sports and racing cars, as within the thirty three different classes there were a wide variety of luxury cars, like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Duesenberg, Delahaye, Hispano Suiza and Isotta Fraschini, to name but a few. In addition there were more everyday road cars that were icons of their time, plus rarities like an ATS 2500 GT, an ASA Mille GT, a Boxcar XP-5, and a Devin SS. There was also a class for rare Chevrolet Corvairs, the rear engine sixties car that resembled a large scale NSU Prinz IV, which drew its styling inspiration from its American counterpart. These included a trio of concept cars from the General Motors Design collection, the Super Spyder, Monza GT and Monza SS, together with examples from private collections. There was also a Ferrari only class, which featured the leviathans of the route from the fifties through to the mid sixties, encompassing a 342 America coupe, the 400 and 410 SuperAmerica and the 500 Superfast models. Within this group of six cars, there was an ex-Enzo Ferrari 1962 400 SuperAmerica, in very original un-restored condition, finished in an attractive shade of pale metallic green. There were numerous other Ferraris in other classes, including a splendid selection in the Carrera Panamericana Class which featured a host of early to mid fifties Ferraris, including 212 Inter and Export models, a 340 America, a 250 MM Berlinetta, a 340/375 Berlinetta, and a 375 MM Vignale Spider, most resplendent in the colourful advertising liveries that were a feature of that race. Also in this class were a Lancia D24 entered by Cavallino Holdings, and the delightful Porsche 550 Coupe from the Collier Collection.
375 MM Vignale Spider took the coveted Best of Show Competition Car A Ferrari took the coveted Best of Show Competition Car award for the second year in a row, this year it was the Carrera Panamercana white and blue liveried 375 MM Vignale Spider, chassis # 0286 AM, which finished 2nd in the 1954 running driven by Phil Hill/Richie Ginther, now owned by Bruce and Jolene McCaw, which was the recipient of this equal major award of the event. The Best Of Show Road Car prize went to the supremely elegant Talbot Lago T 150-C-SS coupe with Figoni & Falaschi coachwork, from the Nethercutt Collection in California.
