Bad weather forces Amelia Island Concours to move to Saturday

Bad weather forces Amelia Island Concours to move to Saturday 8th March 2018

The prospect of extreme conditions on Sunday, 11 March, has led to the organisers once again bringing the annual event forward by one day. RM’s planned Saturday auction will now be held on the Friday.

It means the Canadians will again go head-to-head with Gooding, whose sale commences at 11:00. Thankfully, RM’s rescheduled start time of 15:00 should mean that there will be little overlap.

The new schedule for the Amelia Island Concours weekend is as follows:

Saturday, 10 March, Cars & Coffee at the Concours 09:00 until 17:00.
Saturday, 10 March, Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 09:30 until 17:00.

Other important changes include:

The Drivers of the IMSA Prototypes Seminar has moved to Sunday at 10:30 in the Talbot Ballroom.

Saturday evening’s Gala is unchanged.
