The pair of Ferrari classes (for Competition and Grand Touring) are a set fixture at the Pebble Beach. One of the stars at this year's Concours d'Elegance in the Ferrari Competition class was this unique 212 MM Vignale Berlinetta. This is the only 212 MM produced as the subsequent 212 competition cars received the moniker 'Export' and it has a rich contemporary racing career, highlighted by a victory in the Coppa InterEuropa at Monza with Luigi Villoresi behind the wheel. Following a crash very early in its life, the car's body was rebuilt in a more modern style by Vignale. This has finally been rectified through a ground up restoration and Pebble Beach was the first time for the world to admire the one-off 212 212 Vignale Berlinetta in its original glory since August of 1951.
Lamborghini was one of the featured marques at Pebble this year, and our eye was particularly caught by two special Miura P400 SVs. The first was one of just ten fitted with a limited slip differential and after being stored in 1981, it has survived in remarkable original condition. The other was the very last one built and actually the first Lamborghini tested by the now legendary test driver Valentino Balboni exactly forty years ago. Both remarkable Miuras are pictured in this 18-shot gallery both on the lawn at Pebble and on the Tour d'Elegance.
With just a few days to go until the show opens, more and more manufacturers offer a first glimpse of what is to come in Frankfurt. Both Citroen and Smart will launch funky concepts in the form of the Cactus and Fourjoy respectively. Mercedes-Benz will take the wraps off the CLA 45 AMG Racing Series. Built to compete in a series for two-litre turbocharged cars, it is designed to be able to race as both a front-wheel or all-wheel drive car.
