My wife and I were holidaying (translation – taking a vacation) in Amelia Island Fl. so I was able to indulge my passion for motor cars by visiting the 12th annual Ponte Vedra Auto Show sponsored by Brumos.


Here are the photos that I took of the cars on display: –

American

1965 Mustang
I had joint ownership of one of these when
working in the States

 


 

 



 

 


 

 

 


 

 



1959 Corvette

 

1963 Split Screen Corvette ‘Stingray


 



 

 


1978 Dodge Magnum seen in the car park

 


 

 


 


Dodge Viper

 

 

1950’s Mercury Coupe

 

1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville
Epitome of the ‘American Dream’


Current Corvette Converible

 

 


 


British

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
Wener Kettelhack’s Class winning
1954 Jaguar XK120

 

 

 

 

 

 
Bentley Continental GT
Ford GT40 Replica(?)
Some may be surprised that this car is in the British section
but I feel justified in placing it here on the basis that it was conceived,
designed and built in the U.K.

 


Italian

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
 

 

 
 

Not at the Show but interesting 

I saw this car parked at the hotel we were staying at in New Smyrna Beach –

This car started life as a Ford Mustang GT500 but has been 

customised by its owner, Scott Steger, a Realtor in NSB. 


Some of the changes Scott has made include –

 

  • A Roush body kit
  • Lowered suspension
  • 2.3Ltr. Turbocharger, which with other engine mods gives c.650 BHP

Awesome!!!


 


That’s all for today folks, enjoy!
