The photo captures all elements in a nutshell. Great cars from the early days of motoring, vintage, pre-war, post-war and smiling girls. Sprints on the palace driveway and dark clouds plus lots of silver lining over a superior location.
This was last weekend's Concours d'Elegance Paleis Het Loo.
Large crowds didn't let themselves defeat by massive showers, luckily limited to the morning hours. Not all of the sprint cars were in the fast Lane, and some of the sprint drivers had double joy due to the circumstances. Like renowned Austin Seven driver Bas Jansen.
The Pionier Automobielen Club celebrated its 60th birthday with a grand show up at the Royal Stables.
The 45 year younger PreWarCar celebrated with a new "PreWar Well Preserved" concours class. Won by an amazing never restored 1930 Lancia Dilambda tourer by Viotti (we particularly loved the supershort description "...bought from a man across the street in '59 ; since then in the family." )
