The inaugural Warren Classic and Supercar Show was held Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at the historic Warren Golf and Country Club in Essex, England. The one-day event, staged amidst the 350-acre scenic estate in the hamlet of Woodham Walter, celebrated the 50th anniversary year of the Porsche 911 and Lamborghini, plus the centenary year of Aston Martin.
The Warren Golf and Country Club Managing Director, Tony Stanton said, “We are overwhelmed by the positive feedback from classic aficionados as well as members of the community. Our intention has always been to host a spectacular classic and concours event – while making it open and accessible to the general public. The Warren Golf and Country Club was a stunning backdrop to the classic and supercars on display.”
The Best of Show at the 2013 Warren Classic and Concours was awarded to the 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso of Steve Osburn, with Corrado Lopresto’s one-off Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 Aprile Spider taking the second place slot. Other class winners included actress Mischa Barton’s ex-Mick Jagger Rolls-Royce Camargue in an eclectic post-war touring group, Gavin Moule’s Zonda F, Martin Emmison’s AC Cobra 289 and Ron Hing’s Ecurie Sonauto Porsche 2.7RS Lightweight.
Other notable entrants included the ex-Works 1953-55 Austin-Healey 100S that was involved in the tragic 1955 Le Mans accident, ex-Clark Gable 1949 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, Max Chilton’s Formula One Marussia race car and 1962 Ferrari 268 SP, among others.
