Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance

We’ve been guilty of describing Amelia Island as “America’s second-best concours” in the past, but actually that does it an injustice. There’s as much to see as at Pebble Beach, but in a more relaxed atmosphere, with even more eclectic displays. We’ve seen the Bullitt Mustang, Cars and Guitars and customiser Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth, to name but a few. The event has grown hugely in recent years, and now attracts several auction houses and a spectacular free-entry Cars and Coffee on the Saturday. Add to that excellent seminars and plenty of manufacturer activity, and you’ve got one hell of an event.  Oh, and of course it’s on the beautiful Florida East Coast, and close to Jacksonville, home of Hurley Haywood, Brumos Racing and the new Brumos museum.
