Here's some pictures of a 16/80 Tourer that was shown at the Amelia Island Concours this past weekend. Lovely car!

   Sundays weather was great, if a little on the cool side. Friday was torrential rain, Saturday had high winds, but everything cleared up for the show.

What a lovely car. Mind you, it looks like it may be better now than when it left AC...!

Undoubtedly. In fact, my only issue with the Amelia Island show, which I've attended for 10 years, is that it's getting TOO much like Pebble Beach, with lots of trailer queens (often the same cars shown at Pebble), and not enough driven, patinated, loved, 'real' cars. Ten years ago there was greater diversity (in my opinion) of cars of varying conditions, and I really enjoyed that aspect.
