Thanks for the photos, what is the Daytona's color called? Etienne, Peter see you tomorrow I have some good news
Marc I assume you ask re the "brown" Daytona Berlinetta #16037. The exterior color is Marrone Colorado 106-M-73 and the interior is Beige VM 3218. This Daytona was completed 19 July 1972. It belongs to Lionel M. in Paris, France. Marcel Massini
The Ferrari 250 Europa Vignale won Best of Show in Coppet...congratulations to the owner Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
Well done, congratulations to Kevin Cogan. A fantastic car, no doubt. 0295 EU has been shown at Pebble Beach, Cavallino, Salon Privé, Arizona Concours, etc. Vignale coachwork at its best, true "Art Déco". Marcel Massini
0295 EU of Kevin Cogan today winning Best of Show at the Coppet Concours. The last of these 3 photos shows world-renowned automobile photographer and prominent VIP fchatter Peter Singhof from Germany (far left with white cap). It looks like he's fighting with his iPhone.

What an unusual car. It is so crazy that I really like it. Perhaps it was remarked before (but I could not find it), on reading Marcel Massini's book on Vignale, I see that the 0295 as of 1993 when the book was published looked a little different from the 0295 displayed here. As Massini noted, the original front bumper had been replaced by two bumperettes, and now the front bumper has returned. This makes the car look better.
0295 EU was totally restored to original configuration by Brian Hoyt/Perfect Reflections of Hayward/CA and mechanically by Patrick Ottis in Berkeley/CA. Marcel Massini
Fantastic car, archetype of Vignale's work. BOS totally deserved. 2 Ferrari "Vignale" on the field (the other is 342 America cab # 0232 AL) , but this one is so much more remarkable .... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Some pictures... My personal opinion on this contest: - too much cars - many cars in display only, which are not clearly separated from cars in competitions, - as already said, impossible to know a few days before the list of cars. So impossible to make a first selection of cars with a particular interest, to do some preliminary research, to be certain not to miss anything important (and not only for the Ferrari), - missing cars, others added at the last moment, - I admit that there are fans, but personally I think that Citroën DS or 2CV are too many and not really in the spirit of such an ambitious concours, - too much Bentley. A more rigorous selection could be made, - in short, the very (too) ambitious speech of the organizers is not really in line with the reality of the facts, - a positive point however: the BOS awarded to the 250 Europa Vignale! Once again, it's just my personal opinion !

Wearing BOSE headphones, Jury members in turn listened to the symphonies of the engines of all the vehicles presented, before finally agreeing on that of the 1961 Ferrari GT 250 Berlinetta from the Modena Cars Collection.
