engine and drivetrain Deutsche Marque Concours 2010 (Pics)

[mcaden]

Pictures from today's Deutsche Marque Concours in Vienna, Virginia. John McWilliams and others did a super job - a good day, good cars, and good people.

A beautiful stock 1968 Voll Cabrio 1600

A sweet turbo

Holy Batmobile!

Lothar's amazing 1937 328

Ian Powell's Sweet Ride

Beautiful 3.0 CSi

Mike is the original owner of this amazing 1974 2002tii in Amazon Grun -- restored 4 years ago by Korman Autoworks. You can see Mike in the background. It looks showroom new - just a great job.

Jack Gallagher's 2002 - he won it in a raffle!

Looks fun, those are some amazing cars. The woodgrain in the black car is really good looking, I am usually not a fan of that style.

Thanks for sharing your pics Marc. Looks like this year's event was much nicer than last year's when I went. I was hoping the rain wouldn't materialize in Vienna.

That 2002 Turbo looks like Rich Pople's car. The CSL was there last year along with Buck Cording's tii and Ian's 74tii (but not the cabrio and the green 74tii).

[BillWilliams]

I thought that was Rich's car but I was trying to associate the man with the car and I knew that was not Rich. I guess that was the judge. Good spot

Okay, Jonathon is going to have to help me out with some names here... because my kids were with me and I didn't get much time to meet all the owners. Jonathon will remember the owner of the voll cabrio -- who is visible in the background of my picture (well partially visible - see the hat and hair). I spoke to him for a few minutes. It is obviously a Euro - as they all were and appears bone stock/correct. The owner only drives the car every few months or so (sometime less). I asked him if the roof leaks like an E30, and he said "I will never know." He also owns the Polaris 3.0 CSi pictured above -- a really amazing duo.

The Amazon Grun owner, Mike, said he frequents this board and his restoration is amazing. Again, I think Jonathon will remember his name.

I did speak briefly with the owner of the Batmobile. He and his wife were incredibly nice. He brought the car over Germany. He let me open the aluminum hood with race pins (to see the engine bay) and it was like lifting a feather. He has the original motor, but he is currently running this engine:

I think Jim Gerock is right about the 2002 Turbo, but I didn't get to meet Rich - so I can't confirm this.
