Porsche Concours at Old Westbury Gardens
05/25/08 21:12
Metro NY PCA chapter ran a great concours at Old
Westbury Gardens on Long Island today and it was
FUN! Loads of great cars, from stunning 356's to
the latest GT2 and Carrera GT3RS, along with
944's, 914's, and 911's of all stripes, even
Boxsters and Caymans (Caymen?) were judged and
appreciated. I'd do a concours if I was ANAL! The
judges went over the cars with a fine-toothed
comb. But the owners did themselves proud.
Headed by Concours chairman, David Leonoff, this well-run event brought out aficionados from all over the area. Favorite cars included Gates (not Bill) and son's stunning silver 356SC (my personal fave), some excellent early 911's (S, T, and even a backdated something or other), a nicely done up 914 2.0, and a ton of Turbos. Not sure of the winners (you should be able to see that in a few days on their website), but I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the show. Especially the Speed Yellow '95 Cabriolet!
And I got some nice remarks on my little beast (my car, not my wife). Here's some pics of some.
Nice air-cooled collection. Beautiful Carrera 2S in the middle.
Some nice 356's. My old one looked like the one on the right. Except that one didn't have the rot.
Can't buy this for chump change. Hot 997 GT3RS.
Yellow 993 Cab. Lots of 993's of all ilks there. Love 'em!
Nice 914 racer. Obviously not the 2.0 that I mentioned before.
Will post a page with bigger and better shots.
