2014 Yorkville Exotic Car Show

This year’s Yorkville Exotic Car Show was a bit of a different experience for me for two reasons. First, I have been to so many car events over the past year that I have met a lot of the owners of the cars in this show. I have seen their cars up close and driven on cruises with them. So from that perspective, it was like seeing old friends. Which leads to my second point, the generosity of organizer Phil Downe, who I met previously on such a cruise, in giving me a media pass so that I could get some up close pics. Thanks again Phil!

Phil’s car promoting the event, which again raises money for curing prostate cancer

Here I am with Phil

And here we are with some of the hostesses.

Now on to the show…taking a step back, i arrived early as they were still setting up.

This TVR owner was kind enough to oblige me with a request for some revs…it was LOUD!

Thankfully the policeman stopped to take pics / vids instead of issuing a ticket lol

In keeping with my previous reviews, i’ll start with a shoe on red carpet pic lol

Ok on to the Porsches!

Starting with a 356

1975 Porsche 935

Glad to see my favourite from past shows, a genuine RUF 930S slantnose

911 in Martini Racing livery

Boxster in a very eye catching orange

50th anniversary 911

nice wing on this GT3RS

The new Macan Turbo SUV

Porsche swag

Not many Mercedes but these two are among my favourites, McLaren SLR and AMG SLS

This year’s selection of BMWs included two of my all time favourites, original M5 and M3s, circa 1988

As well as this 1974 2002

I am big fan of Sekanskin and think they do the best wraps in the business, as you can see on their Audi R8

Moving to Italian cars, lots of Ferraris…

my favourite was the BB512!

New FF with nice HRE wheels and beautiful paint job

lots of 458s and a 355GTS

Lambos

Too hot to touch

I really like the way this pic turned out

Beautiful British cars such as this Morgan Aero..not sure i could fit inside but it sure looks stunning!

Another TVR

Jaguar

Aston Martin

A couple of Nissan GTRs

and finally, American Muscle…corvettes, including the new Stingray

and this beautiful Ron Fellows limited edition

Mustang Boss Laguna Seca edition

And some classic mustangs

Ok, a quick drink in the paddock before heading out

As is customary after the Yorkville Exotic Car show, some shoe shopping…

No luck there but i did get some stuff at Rolo, the best gift shop i have ever seen Organ donor lunch box and ninja pen complete with schwinnnggggg sound effects
