Hello my friends,
Today was the 2015 Colorado Concours d'Elegance & Exotic Car Show. This is the largest car show we have for exotic and special cars each year in Colorado.
I have been dreaming to bring my car to this show for almost 2 years. Today the day finally happened. It was fantastic day, each way to the show was almost 100Km so it was also the longest drive I have made in my car.
The only problem was the cooling fan does not turn on, I will need to diagnose.
The response to the car was simply amazing!!!
I ran into 4 people who owned the R17 in the past and they all dreamed of finding another Gordini, most US cars were called R17 Gordinis and to most owners here, we simply called them Gordini's, except model years 1972 and 1973 were called R17's.
There were cars worth close to $1,000,000 and yet my car got more attention than most cars.
There were about one dozen people from France visiting the show and all were simply amazed of the condition of the car and the rarity. There was not one other French car at the show
My friend drove down with me and we could not stop smiling, we enjoyed the car so much!!
We parked with the BMW's as I had registered my Z1 also and my friend is the one who coordinates the show, so he had no problem parking me there.
I will post pictures as I get them. First picture is my registration car that sits on the windshield of each car in the show.
All my thanks!!
Steve
