LEGENDS OF THE AUTOBAHN: A CELEBRATION OF GERMAN ENGINEERING
Legends of the Autobahn is free for spectators. However, If you would like to display your car, enter the concours, or purchase meal tickets you will need to register for the event. Early online registration closes on Sunday, July 27.

Again, for the folks who will be there looking for things to do, THIS IS FREE (I'm look at you FlyingAce )

Schedule
6:30 AM Registration opens

9:00 AM - Noon Judging / Special Presentations / Guest Speakers

Now in its fifth year, the Legends Of The Autobahn® concours has become a local and regional sensation. In 2011, with the North American debut of the BMW 328 Hommage concept car, the event gained international recognition. In 2012 we saw the debut of BMW’s Zagato Z4 Roadster concept, and there are always many rare models to be seen.

For 2014, the Legends of the Autobahn Concours is moving to the prestigious Nicklaus Club-Monterey in Monterey, California, during the famed Pebble Beach Concours week. The new venue will provide the growing event with the much-needed room to expand—and it’s so close to Laguna Seca that you can hear the historic cars warming up!

Although the Legends Of The Autobahn is still a relatively recent arrival on the Monterey scene, it has sustained exponential growth since its 2009 debut as a stand-alone BMW concours. Event organizers, recognizing the potential for a “German alternative” event during the annual Monterey Sports Car Weekend, invited the Mercedes-Benz club for the 2010 event—an expansion so well received that we were pleased to announce the addition of Audi in 2012.

So join the BMW Car Club of America, the Mercedes Club of America, and the Audi Club of North America—the world’s preeminent German-marque car clubs—at the new location of the annual Legends Of The Autobahn concours d’elegance.

I think they're going to have a wide range of Bentleys on display.

I know "Old No. 1" will be there and 1931 8 Litre Park Ward Sports Saloon as well as the Continental GT3-R that is posted above.

Then, of course, the Mulsanne and the new V8 Flying Spur will be on display


edit:


Just found this on Bentley's website:

"The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, held on California’s Monterey Peninsula, is focus for a week of the world’s most coveted historic automobile displays and events.

In 2013 Bentley celebrated the 90th Anniversary of the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race, and debuted the North American exclusive Le Mans Limited Edition Mulsanne.

The iconic Bentley Blower and the 2003 Le Mans winning Speed 8, along with its driver Guy Smith, joined Bentley at The Quail. The Flying Spur and the Continental GT Speed, Bentley’s fastest production model ever, were on display at this exclusive gathering set upon the rolling greens of The Quail Lodge and Golf Club.

To register your interest for 2014, please complete the form below. "

The official debut was last night.

Frozen Grey Metallic paint, Dalbergia Brown upholstery, blue highlights, laser headlights, LV bags, this thing is awesome.

Thanks @GrussGott



This Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale is making an appearance this weekend, today actually:


It will appear on the Corso Italiano along with the Aston Martin DB AR1, Zagato V12 Spyder, DB9 America and Centennial, as well as the Ferrari 550 Barchetta and 575 GTZ.

The highlight, as you can tell I'm sure, is Zagato:
http://www.zagato.it/en/

I think they may show the Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato as well. We shall see!

Q BY ASTON MARTIN BESPOKE SERVICE TO BE SHOWCASED AT PEBBLE BEACH® AUTOMOTIVE WEEK 2

credit: www.astonmartin.com

Aston Martin will showcase a new collection of bespoke commissions created by the company’s Q by Aston Martin division - the ultimate personalisation service – at the Pebble Beach® Automotive Week next week; commissioned by dealer partner, Galpin Aston Martin.

Following the successful centenary celebrations at the 2013 event, Aston Martin returns to Monterey to host guests at the exclusive Aston Martin Estate. This exquisite private venue, situated high above Carmel with panoramic views across the Monterey Bay, provides the ideal backdrop for showcasing Aston Martin’s latest sports car range to customers and friends of the brand.

Supported by Louis Roederer, Timothy Oulton, McIntosh, Davidoff, William Grant & Sons, Ghurka and Merrill Lynch, more than 1,000 customers are expected to visit during the week.

Amongst the attractions at The Estate are four new Q by Aston Martin designs led by Los Angeles-based dealer partner, Galpin Aston Martin. Based on the DB9 Volante, V12 Vantage S and Vanquish (Coupe and Volante) sports cars, each example offers a glimpse of the capabilities available for customers to create something truly unique.

Director of Design, Marek Reichman said: “Our Q by Aston Martin personalisation service offers customers the ability to work closely with the Design team to create a very personal car, synthesizing individual visions with the considerable craftsmanship skills and expertise at our disposal.”

Q by Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe

The sporting character of the Vanquish is amplified with powerful colours, bold contrasts and an innovative enlarged carbon fibre weave structure.
