The Cotswolds: bucolic golden-hued thatched cottages, rolling farm land, wheat fields swaying in a warm summer breeze, antique shops, old English country inns selling fine English ales. All this and more, for it is also the home of the Bugatti Owners Club of Great Britain and the famous Prescott Hill climb.

Classic Santa Fe Concours https://velocetoday.com/classic-santa-fe-concours/ https://velocetoday.com/classic-santa-fe-concours/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2023 04:10:51 +0000 https://velocetoday.com/?p=143642

Possibly the most famous car to appear at the Concorso was the Boyle Special that won the Indy 500 in 1939 and 1940. It was a Maserati 8CTF driven by the legendary Wilbur Shaw. As we shall see, some other legends showed up for the event. The car was somewhat reluctant to start but did cooperate to everybody’s great pleasure.

The premier attraction while I was living there was the Santa Fe Concorso, held from 2010-2016 on the expansive grounds of the Las Campanas Club and Golf Course.
