I was at the Concours of Elegance at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh over the weekend.
What an amazing show of 60 of the worlds most amazing and rarest cars,
This Ferrari 250 GTO - No. 15, was originally built for Stirling Moss to race, but due to an accident he never got to race it, Innes Ireland raced it at Le Mans in 1962 but didn't finish, he did win other races during that season.
This is reckoned to be worth £30m - that's £'s NOT $'s
This Ecurie Ecosse D Type No. 15 came 2nd at Le Mans in 1957 and worth £15m, the guy sitting in it is the current owner, who at this point was giving it big revs - WoW what a sound, I think almost everyone at the show came over :thumb:
This is one of my favourite cars of all time, I think it has to be one of the best looking cars EVER :thumb:
This Delaheye Type 165 is just absolutely stunning :thumb: no words can describe it.
Here is a link to my photobucket, where I have over 150 photos
I did have around 240, but somehow 80 - 90 didn't upload to my bucket not sure why. If you do look through them, for some reason the link takes you to the middle of the set, not the beginning ? :confused: so you may have to use the back and forward arrow at the side of the 1st photo.
Anyway, the Jaguar pics were taken on the Saturday, which were parked in the palace car park outside.
The other cars parked on tarmac - Ferraris, some Rolls & Bentleys including the Bentley Blue Train, + many others, were taken inside the grounds at the front of the palace, and most had been on a tour that day - Sunday, which was the day we (my dad & brother attended)
The cars on the grass, were taken in the garden at the back, here were the 60 Concours cars + the Ecurie Ecosse transporter and many Ecurie Ecosse cars from the past and their current BMW Z4 GT3.
Dario Franchiti's Indy 500 pace cars were also there (3) (the winner of the Indy 500 gets to keep the pace car), also there was Jackie Stewarts 3 world champion cars, first time all 3 have been together - appaantly.
The show was just amazing, cars I will probably never see again, I couldn't even hazard a guess at the total value of all of the cars.
The day was made even better by a gorgeous sunny / not a cloud in the sky day.
Anyway - best I shut up :rolleyes: here is the link, hope it works, enjoy
