What better place to make contact with “the right” people than a Concours d’Elegance? While planning the Via Hellenica we visited the Athens show at the Flisvos Marina. We immediately spotted our ideal car, a 1930 Rolls Royce with beautiful patina and thus not a candidate for the Concours awards. There must have been some 10 pre wars on this pleasant event. Most special (during-war-car) means of transportation was definitely the 1941 Moto Guzzi three-wheeler. It had been abandoned by the Italians and recently been found and restored to better than new. This being a prerequisite for one of the 54 prizes to be awarded, it did indeed get a class win. (Text and pictures by Bart Kleyn) |
