Went to my first "show" with my 62 after restoration! Result: 1st Place in "Modified" class. Everyone that I met said it was the nicest car at the show. Unfortunately they didn't give a "Best In Show" award. All in all, it really wouldn't have mattered whether it won or not; the day was glorious!!!! Still nice to get the recognition though.

Well done C1s always seem to 'steal the show'. Odd that the C1 prices are flat considering that.

Guess, admirers feel similar to what W.C. Fields said about women and elephants, "....I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one!"
