This upscale event took place back on June 28th and once again it did not disappoint. This year we were invited to participate in a ‘Then and Now” display. We brought a friends 240z to be positioned across from a new 370z. One of the most amazing cars of the show though was right next to our Z.
In front of our friend Glen’s new R35 GT-R there was an 1973 Skyline GT-R (also known as the “Ken and Mary” Skyline) in near original condition with 40K miles on it. According to the importer of the car, it has not undergone any form of restoration and has been in climate controlled storage for most of it’s life. The reason that this second generation GT-R is so special is that they made only 197 of them, total in the world. They are rare and extremely expensive. GT-R Wikipedia (2nd Gen. skip)
A few other highlights of the show included a one of the most original and un-restored Mazda Cozmos known to exist, vast vintage police vehicle display, as well as a plethora of vintage and historic race cars. I was also pleased to see beautiful examples of almost every model of Porsche ever produced, there were some beautiful cars with great racing heritage.
I encourage all of you to join us at next years show. The people are nice and the cars are even better. I hope you like the few pictures I have included here.
