Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance 2002

The Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance is the oldest running classic car show on the West coast. The featured mark for 2002 is Porsche which inspired us to visit it for the first time.

There were two 912s shown, one of which we saw a couple of years ago at the Palo Alto Concours. These are the first pictures I have of that car.

Porsches

	Harry Serrano's '67 912
	Harry has had this car for 33 years

	Unusual and attractive light upholstery. Most 912 have black interiors. Note the placement of his fire extinguisher.
	Engine compartment.
	I never found the owner of this 912 which was quite nice although not as well prepared as the Serrano car. It looked very original.
	Bill Robertson's '89 962 Race car
	Jerry Seinfeld's '56 550/1500RS Spyder, no 080.
	The RS550 was a major departure for Porsche from the 356 when it was introduced in 1953 with a ladder type tubular frame, aluminum body, mid-engine and Fuhrmann 4 cam engine.
	Weighing 1320 lbs and 110 DIN horsepower it achieved racing success with class wins at Mille Miglia, Le Mans and the Nurburgring.
	James Dean died in one of these while driving it to the Bay Area for a race.

	Ranson Webster's '58 718 RSK





	This is the last RS 550, an unrestored car.
	356 Cabriolet - Carrera. See the distinctive top of the 4 cam Fuhrmann engine.
	Don Session's 356 coupe.

Alfa Romeo

BMW

Bugatti

MG

Other Cars

With that grill, it can only be a Bugatti.

	Bugatti race car. City transportation vehicle mechanic looking at the details.
	Look how close the brake cable is to the steering rod.
