It's been four years since I last attended the Kirkland Concours d'Elegance and though it was a good show then, it has developed into a world-class international concours. So I don't intend to miss it this year since its the only one of of its type to be held in the Pacific Northwest.
This particular TR won 4th place when driven by Piero Drogo in the 1000 km Buenos Aires in January of 1958. Drogo drove it one more time, in the Grand Prix of Cuba, before he sold it to American Alan Connell who drove it in nine races and spent most of that time in 1st or 2nd place in class. It featured in twelve more races between 1960 and 1963, making it one of the most raced Ferraris of all time.
Being the owner of a classic car separates you from the average car driver with practical needs. If your car was manufactured before 1973 or at least fifteen years back then it qualifies as classic car. A collector’s car is like a walking work of art that you have to maintain and preserve for its historical value. Consequently, a classic car insurance company will have different areas of focus than with the usual auto driver.
