[V8] Amelia ... and what's it worth !?

[Etdmail at cs.com]

Hi all... 

Hope everyone's summer has been going swimmingly well...

I was taking a little walk down 'The Internet Lane' too after clicking on 
the link Kent left.

A fine British Car Site - that's also a help with some fine print!

Clicking through, I was reminded of cars I had forgot - like the Jaguar 66 
XJ13 Prototype.

And some others I can't seem to get out of my head - like the Aston DB5-C 
Drop Head.
                                        
While Looking for V8 content @ AC Cars, I found early version another of 
one of my favorites an AC V8 Prototype.

On to Healey; for another early favorite of many, and at auction is getting 
quite tony, and I don't just mean red!

Having been invited to Amelia again this year, by some friends who usually
have some stakes placed, in the RM Auction there, prices can be 
breathtaking!
Amelia is a great spot to take in a whole lot of Hollywood well away from 
Monterey.

Lots of "remarkable cars" to be found clicking the links, rather than, 
going to all 
the trouble to set up the lawn-chair on some. I'm sure, there is some 
remarkable
V8 content in there some where!  :-)

Enjoy!

(PS: Roger - I seem to recall the Limp-mode syndrome, often being caused my 
marginal electrical contact in the TCU connector on the transmission - 
Possibly caused by sitting as you suggested.. you know, no fresh oil fumes 
leaking from somewhere, to keep oxidation at bay :-)

(PPS. Bryan - I think John raised a good point - it should be worth 
something to try to avoid a salvage title, you never know....) 

(PPPS. Bryan your recounting of blasting across or up the spine of the 
Green Mountains through fresh snows in a V8 brings back some great and glorious 
memories ! :-)
