    Yesterday, despite the rain, the Silverstone GP, the Le Mans Classic, the Wimbledon Final, the Ferrari Owners' Club held their National Meet & Concours at Boughton House in Northamptionshire.
    Whilst the weather forecast for the day was pretty hideous it was only one heavy shower that interrupted the proceedings.
    A stunning array of cars were present ranging from the ex Agnelli, ex Jacques Swaters 166 MM Barchetta right the way through to FF and 458 Spider.
    The 250 GTO # 3387 left Paris in the wee hours of Sunday morning to be present for the show, huge thanks to the caretaker of this car for making this happen.
    Enjoy the pics.

    Great shots Paul, thanks for sharing. What a beautiful collection of machinery!

    Interesting photo of the 275 and 330 GTS's side by side: I was under the impression that the 275 had a different soft-top from a 330, with more of a lip above the windscreen. Does this 275 have a 330 top, and if so, are the inter-changable? Of course I could be all wrong...

    Great pictures Paul, although I'm glad I didn't go. Although the rain wasn't too bad at the event itself it was horrible near me and the M25/ M1 would have been a very unpleasant experience in the rain and F1 traffic in the Daytona.

    Paul is that now gray 275 spider the same maroon 275 spider you photographed a few years ago, or a different model?
    Thanks to you and Grant for sharing the pictures here!

    Is the off white car a 212? Stunning!!! All are for that matter, thanks for posting.

    The pictures of the light blue 330 America and darker blue 330 GT 2+2 are my personal favorites.

    I am going to say the 330 America is 5061GT, but will wait for Kerry to confirm as I do not have a license plate for it.

    The 275 GTB I was thinking of for comparison. Note this image is from 2007. Fantastic paint color on this spider...

    Nope, the silver 275 is an original NART Spider, imported by the current owner in approx 2007 and one of the first cars to go through the classiche program.

    All from memory from an conversation with the owner a few years ago, whilst we were both at Ferrari waiting for our cars... His was nicer ;)

    The dark red car pictured above is a genuine NART Spyder also.

    Stu, the off white (or banana, as the owners' mother calls it) car is a 250 Europa Pinin Farina Coupe.
    It spent many years in the US, spending over thirty years with a single owner before coming to the UK in late 2009.
