American collector Jon Shirley collected another prestigious award with his fabulous Alfa Romeo 8C2900B at the first Windsor Concours of Elegance.
The former Pebble Beach winning beauty took ‘Best of Show’ among an outstanding 60-car group presented in the beautiful Upper Ward Quadrangle. This is the first time ever that cars - and the public - have been given access within the walls of the famous Royal castle.
Judging is refreshingly different at the Windsor event with ‘Best of Show’ decided by the entrants who voted Shirley’s dark blue Touring bodied coupé the car they’d most want to take home.
The 1938 Latin beauty faced tough competition including two other former Pebble Beach winners; the fabulous 1931 Daimler Double Six Corsica Coupé of Reno collector Bob Lee, and the Delage D8S de Villars Roadster.
The new event attracted the World’s foremost collectors and museums, which resulted in one of the greatest displays ever at a British event.
