The Gathering Of Friends is a low-key European & British car show held every year here in San Luis Obispo. A lot of the cars are familiar on the local “circuit” as it were, but there’s always some cool new stuff to ogle that hasn’t been out before. This here’s a photodump, amigos. Prepare yourselves.
59999 Berlinetting Boxers with frippy paddles or something. Blah blah too new, moving on.
Lightly modded Pantera. No engine shots because chrome was blinding:
I’ve mentioned before that I love MG coupes. I love MG coupes. This is an MGC, the 6 cylinder variant. (Thanks, Spridget!)
A well used & loved boattail Alfa:
The colors on this 120 drew me in, a really nice deep brown, and a very high level of work.
Guess what this is:
No? A !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Beeskow. Also one of the local regulars, owned and restored by an avid local collector & client.
Another of the local SSs, from the same barn stash as the gray one below as I understand it.
A stately old Roller:
Good choice, honey, but daddy can’t afford that one (it’s a real 4-cam Carrera GS Speedster!)...
2 Wheels good!
Moggies
Vanquish
Really cool Traction-Avant. For as many of these as are out there, you never see them:
A wonderfully rough Singer Sports Coupe. I’d never seen one, or any Singer, before this:
Interesting color on this 911:
A couple of the local Amazon fanatics:
I have an irrational love for Jaaaaag Mk10s. Such great lines.
I love the 105 series Alfa Berlinas, they don’t get enough respect next to their GTV brethren:
A well used & rough Benz bus... but wait...
What’s under the hood?
The mustache is strong with this one...
Hey, that’s not Yurrupeen!
Love me a good Ponton:
This is my buddy Clint from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’s 993, built up from a rolled shell. You’d never know, it looks great.
Dat blue
Not often an Esprit comes out to play
Nice to see a 912 done to a high level:
A nicely scruffy 356:
One of the best cars out there to me, a lovely Alfa 2000:
And this... oh, this beastly, glorious Allard. What a machine:
A nice Maserati 3500, one of the regulars:
My buddy Justin of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’ great barn-find SS. He dailies this car in SLO:
Another local car, love this gray:
VW Service, this way:
My kind of T2 Doka:
The suddenly valuable 190SL:
Terrible pic of a perfect E-type:
A pair of nice TR3s:
Tidy MGA coupe, nice to see instead of the ubiquitous roadsters
Another of the local regular 911s:
This beauty was parked in the weeds outside the show, I think it looks fantastic:

And beautiful. But I think the 2000GT had them all beat in the value deparment.

Yeah. I’ve been in love with Allards since childhood, and that thing made me weak in the knees.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

Yeah, it was great to see. That 2000 was out at our local Concours a couple of months ago as well, it’s just stunning. As I said, it’s a pretty low-key event, and even the normally stuffy guys who show up festooned in marque attire head to toe seem to temper their brand allegiance a bit.

There is an Allard that used to go to Donuts quite frequently, but I haven’t been in a while.

Sure thing, I didn’t even realize it was happening until too late this year.

I’ve always really liked the way these looked, I was pleased to see one. Nice colors, for sure.

No, not this one. He had a grey or maybe off white, but it also had patina.

Sorry to be ‘that guy’, but this is actually a MGC, the 6 cylinder B. You can tell by the hood bulge and chrome strip.

Now I remember being schooled about that before, I never see them so I forget the little details. I didn’t see under the hood so didn’t know one from the others. Thanks for the correction.
