The PVGP is a 10 day event, racing on a track with the bigger, more powerful vintage cars, Ferrari, Ford GT 40, Cobra et al, there are special dinners, a Black Tie Gala, auto rally and drives by clubs, three invitational car shows and more. These culminate in what was the sole event of the PVGP 40 years ago, historic cars from about 1920 to 1973, small block, light racers. Along with the racing there is a bring what you want car show that covers a large portion of the golf course, Ferrari, all the elite Italian cars, MINI, MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Porsche, Volvo, Lexus, Bentley, VW, Jeeps from WWII, one off exotics, classic American pre and post war and endless unexpected like an English taxi. I did not do that part of the day justice. It was mid 90s by the time we walked and shuttled to the course and the bus missed our “off” and we had to walk another 3/4 mile up a hill and it was lunch the crowds were thick and the heat just sapped my energy and so only a few shots. So we simply walked from end to end but skipped most of the cars this year. Sadly. Here are a few just to get a bit of the flavor of the show.
More than 300 Porsche automobiles on display
Lots and lots of food venders, this is a local favorite (Mint Gingerly!) made near to where we are from.
Not everyone wears old shorts and a T-shirt. Lots of fancy dress with the fancy cars.
E-Jags are a fan favorite.
Triumph TR-4s in several lollipop colors.
