Only 1 pic of the new Huracan?! Good lord man, cherish that spot; we won't be seeing them in the states for another couple months as they make the auto show rounds.

Concour d'Elegance show is on my bucket list. There is a nearly 100% likelihood that I will go someday.

Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!

They're much better than the ones on that 1 Series.

1) incredible pix, thanks for sharing!!!!
2) I'm going to the wrong shows
3) loved the masking tape and ribbon printer labels on the 956
4) 22"s on a 458
5) 959 with the rally lights.
6) the wood grain on the FF..

I need to attend a show like this. I would fly out just to attend. Maybe next year.

On 3) it is the 917K. The masking tape probably to the detailers, hopefully not for racing use .

I grouped together too many Porsche cockpit pics and didn't label them. First one is for the 962C and the next two are 917K.

EXTREMELY recommend attending, my first time. Phenomenal event, go on Friday and Saturday since there are far fewer people. The owners and crew were very friendly, loved to talk about their cars.

I will post more pics tonight, including the SN001 of the both the racing Shelby Mustang and McLaren P1.

It's hard to tell the 956 from the 962, the crew chief there ran the 956/962's for Derek Bell/Al Holbert/Jochan Mass/Jackie Ickx.

Look for extra distance from the rear of the front wheel opening to the front door. That's where Porsche increased the length of the chassis to meet the new crash structure requirement for driver's feet to be behind the front axle.

There were two Rothman cars there (956 and 962C), hard to tell them apart.

FWIW, I learned alot from the crew chief. The 956/962 motors came in different configurations cooling wise. Some were air cooled, some water cooled, some water cooled heads and air cooled cylinders. That 962C is water cooled, there are 3 heat exchangers in each sidepod (turbo intercooler, oil cooler, water radiator)
