Classic Sportscar Concours @ Turku 18.6.2006

[Jussi]

I know it's from "yesterday" but I'm pretty sure none of you would have been visited there

I have heard a lot about this happening but never actually been there, had seen many photos from there though. Weather was perfect, sun and almost +30celsius B) Only bad thing was we weren't there with Esprit, haven't got courage to go there with it (couldn't made the service to it before).

The show was amazing, very different to what I'm used to and we are going there definitely next year with Esprit.

There were two Lotus-cars Europa and Finland's only S1 Esprit Didn't know Ferraris are so common in here, Heli count 15 Ferraris. Now I want even more to own 348 in someday

Enough talking, here are some photos, enjoy

This 348 had excellent sound, very sporty.

Lotus Europa

Only S1 in Finland

Only Ferrari Superamerica in Finland:

I want one of these, please...Donkerwoort, just wondering how is it road legal in here

Badges say Jaguar but is this just some Kitcar or is it real???

Not sure what I was photographing but if you look closely you may see AlfaRomeo spider

There were lots of Porsches:

If look could kill...but she came in Modena360...

Quite slick rear tyre in this AstonMartin DB7:

Ferraris they are everywhere

Here you can see the manor in which estate the show was arranged:

Excellently restored E-type:

Saw this Jaguar last here in our race track, that day I cursed not to have camera with me, very rare in here.

Here are the rest of the photos, enjoy: Classic Cars Concours

those washers in front of the lights on the S1?

I know they're not supposed to be so great to drive, but I kind of like the 348 (more distinctive than the 355... maybe not from a Testarossa though )

great pics B)

Yep, those are washers Some time ago finnish inspection demands those for all new cars, not anymore. My Esprit had never those.

That 512TR was ahead us when we get back home. It stopped for gas station and after 50km. it passed us very fast

I understand the appeal of the 348 - looks like a millionaire's ferrari and sounds like a proper ferrari but you're better off where you are. Your car will be faster and handle better Mark B drove a 348 and by all accounts it "handled like a tractor!"

...and if there are THAT meny dancing donkeys over there... surely you've got the rarer car?!

[Tentenths]

Could be a Jaguar SS100, although not sure if they were ever produced in left hand drive. But there are some excellent replicas around - the best probably being from Suffolk Sportscar Engineering.

[Dasar7]

If its an SS100 Jag, then its certainly been modifed - looks terrible.

Jussi -- Wow! Needless to say, the pictures of the S1 are a real treat for me! Thank you for sharing!

[Jussi]

Thanks Tony

I was also surprised by seeing it, afterall it's the only one in the country (what I have heard).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm very keen on those 348s really thinking someday to buy one but that will mean losing the Esprit

Heli thinks same as you, she said that we never change Lotus to any Ferrari

I have also heard that 348 handle is poor but also noticed that it's even faster than old Testarossa B)
