Even in the best case scenario, the forecast for Sunday’s scheduled Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance includes rain and lots of it. With a 100% chance of heavy precipitation forecast for Sunday and a sunshine-filled Saturday in the mix, Bill Warner and his team have chosen to move Sunday’s award-winning Concours to Saturday.

The new schedule is as follows
Saturday, March 11, Cars & Coffee at the Concours: 9am until 5pm
Saturday, March 11, Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 9:30am until 5pm
Other important changes include moving Saturday’s Legends of the Leaping Cat – Jaguar Racing Driver’s Seminar will move to Sunday at 10:30am in the Talbot Ballroom, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island
Saturday evening’s Gala is unchanged.
RM Sothebys Auction will also remain unchanged.

Amelia Island Anticipation

February 18, 2016 Michael Carnell Auctions & Sales, Classic Cars, Events, Highlights Comments Off on Amelia Island Anticipation

The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is only a few weeks away now – less than a month. And yes, I am ripe with anticipation. So are quite a few other people, although perhaps “ripe” may not be the most appropriate word. As best as can be forecast this far out, the weather looks like it will be beautiful.

Let we forget in our automotive excitement, the true goal of the weekend is to raise money for the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation. The Foundation has donated over $2.5 million since 1996 to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Spina Bifida of Jacksonville, the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, Shop with Cops, Micah’s Place and other worthy charitable organizations across North Florida.

By 1928, the Oxford company had become large and prosperous enough to warrant an identity separate from the original Morris Garages and the M.G. Car Company Limited was established that March. Staff
