Foreign Collector Cars At the Concours

 


The 47th Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance, like in years past, had a splendid collection of foreign collector cars on hand for the event. Among them was a 1957 Saab 93A.  The small Swedish car had a 750 cc three cylinder engine that generated all of 38 horse power.

 

This 1965 Saab Monte Carlo 850 is one of fewer than 20 believed to be left in the world. This car was a barn find and is in near original condition.

Here is a 1986 Mercedes Benz 190E. These were homologation cars built to qualify them to be rally racers. This particular vehicle is a single family model.

The last of the hand built cars, this 1971 Mercedes Benz 280 SE 3.5 coupe has a 3.5 liter fuel injected V8 that churns out 200 horse power. This car has previously been a concours class winner.

Here is a stunning 1966 Fiat Coupe Pininfarina. Only 735 were ever made with a mere 12 coming to the United States. This all original, non-restored car is number 679.

This is a 1965 Volkswagen Cabriolet. The VW Type 1 is commonly referred to as the Beetle and is one of only 21.5 million made during the course of the model's run. 

Here is a 1994 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 2. This is one of only 173 "Dealer Collection" limited production models.

Only about 200 of these 1964 Fiat 2300 S Coupe executive cars are know to still exist. It has a 2279 cc inline six cylinder Abarth engine which turns out 136 horse power.
