The annual Barkaways Open Day was held on Saturday 06 June at their premises near Tonbridge in Kent, and attracted around 300 clients and friends on a warm and predominantly bright and sunny day, fortunately contrary to the weather that had been forecast.

Over the next decade the event, traditionally held on the first weekend of August, could establish itself as the biggest classic car meeting on the European mainland.

Every August the classic car world is looking to Monterey for the biggest ongoing car festival in the world. With the Monterey Car week just around the corner the first cars arrived to Laguna Seca a week early for the annual Pre-Reunion. Although the car week is mostly known for the numerous Concours events and the headline auction of the various houses the racing activities are very well presented with the Rolex Motorsport Reunion.

This year�s Monterey Car Week officially started this morning with the gathering of the Quail Rally cars in front of the Quail Lodge. As in previous years Sir Michael Kadoorie invited a few of his close friends to start the week with a relaxed driving tour into the Monterey hinterland. Again almost 3 dozen cars ranging from a pre-war Rolls Royce to the newest Bentley were lined up at the lawn for a group photo before leaving to the exclusive tour that will arrive tomorrow evening at the McCall Jet Center party.

Not few think that the Tour d´Elegance of the Concours is the highlight of the week when the cars could be seen in their natural habit, on the street. Once invented to proof that the cars can actually drive further than from the trailer to the show field and maybe once over the ramp the tour not only gives those not fortunate enough to get on the field on Sunday the opportunity to see a good portion of the cars but also for all cameras a memorable image in front of the Pacific. As mentioned several time during the last days the Tour had to be redesigned after the horrible forest fires down highway one towards Big Sur.

Making it a night to remember, RM Sotheby�s shattered numerous world-record auction values at its 10th anniversary London sale last night, generating in excess of £21.65 million in sales. Whilst a stunning 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT proved to be the night�s biggest seller, it is the game-changing prices achieved for some of the Porsches which will prove to be the sale�s most potent legacy.

An exceptionally original, never restored yet beautifully preserved 1956 Porsche 550 Spyder was a runaway success at Bonhams Goodwood Revival Sale (10 September), selling for £4,593,500, creating a world record for a Porsche 550 model.

A magical step back in time! This was always the slogan of the Goodwood Revival Meeting in September recreating an atmosphere of the past both on and off the track, but never was the time as precise as this year: 1966.
