    Great photos, thanks to all.
    I understand Nigel Allen won Best of Show with his spectacular 250 GT SWB Berlinetta #3367 GT fully restored by Barkaways.

    Apologies for the slight pixelation of my photos - I am investigating!

    No Ferrari is perfect, and certainly not a 40 year old hand built car.
    Hinges can be readjusted easily.

    If it hasn't been restored fair enough, but surely it has and somebody has done a poor job of fitting a boot lid on a plus $500k vehicle ...

    Who says it has been restored? And if so, when? Perhaps at a time when Daytonas were less than 100 K $. Or the owner doesn't care.

    Is that yellow BB behind the blue Daytona Spider a Michelotto prepared car?

    The red Daytona was entered into the concours, So really it should have been tip top. There were a few cars with similar shut lines in the categories I helped judge, which did not help there cause.

    I agree John. Too many cars and not enough time. Many thanks for the photos, Are you going to the classic V12 meet tomorrow? If so I will see you there.

    Very nice event. At this level this meeting can be one of the most important in Europe. Does they prepare
    One in 2016?

    I think the UK FOC event is now every other year to ensure good entry numbers.

    That is correct, the National Meet & Concours will now be held every two years.

    There s a list of all cars presented ?
    The place looks very pleasent, but I think a small changement will be necesary.
    The cars must be put in valor with sections: classics, contemporain, and modern.

    What's up with the color of the door? It looks off to both the front and rear wing...

    No this is a virtually standard 512 BB with various Koenig parts added by the supplying German dealer when new.
