jhaag Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I went to the Amelia Island Concourse d'Elegance event in Florida on March 9th. The cars of Parnelli Jones were featured - he was the grand marshal. No Z cars on display. I took several hundred photos which I posted to Photobucket and which can be seen at http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa166/johnhaag1/Amelia%20Island%202008/?start=all . The crowd was so big that I had to bounce around from car to car so all the photos for each car aren't located together in Photobucket. I couldn't stay all day so I didn't begin to get photos of everything. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 WOW...I had no idea that MG had a TD Sport that looks like my all time fav car...the Ferrari 340MM! Amazing pics, thanx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Neat! A little research turns up that Carrozzeria Motto of Turin did the bodywork on the TD Sport. Rocco Motto did a lot of work for Ferrari...Pininfarina was responsible for the 340MM, though. Interesting coincidence. Great photos, John!

Here comes trouble Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 hello John : great pictures...................The 22nd of March will be the final milestone of my ordeal.Free at last (?) I ordered stainless steel engine bolts for the SBC that was stripped in the Tomahawk Cobra. Figured it was time to put it back together with all the bling parts. Bought a rust free plain jane 1979 280 ZX for $120.00 and a complete good running 350 SBC for $100.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ya baby!...AMC PACER...learned to drive a stick on one of those!!! Its even uglier than I remember.....perhaps its that vinyl roof??!??...lol The 340MM has nicer grill...The 'looks a bit like a OSCAs. And I prefer the ferrari doors as well. I bet the 340MM is a lot faster. But what a coincidence...even the year, 1953 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
