    This'll be the penultimate set of ten, featuring the rest of the cars that make up the 'Precious Metals' exhibit, starting with the ex-Rosselini, Scaglietti-rebodied 375 Ferrari, and ending with a pair of images of Robert M. Lee's '37 Horch 853 Voll & Ruhrbeck Sports Cabriolet, both in magnificent metallic silver and both winners of Pebble Beach 'Best of Show' awards………….unforgettable !

    Finishing up with a truncated set of a few shots of cars you come across on the way out. I found the Ford display with an original GT40 road-legal model positioned opposite its modern successor, also built for the sole purpose of winning the Lemans 24 hours, poignant and noteworthy.

    Thanks for looking,

    All the Best
