    Ohh, he's always known and he might have told me at one time, I just didn't remember. I was also more curious the complete history.

    Re masks, i was told by the Breakers security to put a mask on and that was my first warning. Second would mean getting kicked out of the property.
    Another security told me to stop taking pictures of the cars leaving the show as guests of the property were concerned about privacy. I had to go talk to the head of security to find out it was total garbage and just one of them being high on power.

    Regarding the concours level, it was half of what it usually was. I hope this is mainly due to Covid/new ownership and not the demise of the event itself.

    The Breakers "security" are completely out of control. Some guys are extremely rude. Even pre-Covid and with all sorts of passes and tickets and a few years ago I have had some very unfriendly encounters. The Breakers management should learn. No behaviour towards their hotel guests sometimes. Not good.

    The event required them to create a sense of safety, still a very real issue to many people. I saw it enforced indoors only. At any time I was outdoors mine was off except on Saturday when I was a judge. As judges we were required to wear them on the field. My other half, also a judge kept forgetting hers and staff very politely reminded her many times. In any of the rooms we used about 75% of them came off. Definitely different and more extensive security but my experience was they were friendly and 100% professional. The mask reminders were typically delivered with an apology and a smile.

    Marcel, in prior years it was a very different group. This year it looked to me like a contract security company and they were very professional. There must have been 3 x as many. I must have had 50 contacts with them and in every single case they were polite and professional. Leslie must have been reminded to put her mask on 25 times and it was always with an apology and a smile. Every contact of mine with them was faultless. If I needed a security company I hire that one.

    0619 GT started out as 0805 GT in that order? I hesitate to even mention the ' 14 louvre ' question...

    Different here. I was outside when one of them told me I'd get kicked out of the property by the 2nd warning. And hundreds of people walking around without a mask at any moment. Then the 2nd guy telling me some bull **** rule that was never approved.

    Maybe too professional.

    Smaller, but high-quality field, and the weather was lovely.
    Cavallino never disappoints, even when contending with COVID-19. Under the circumstances I'd call it a genuine success.
    Now if folks would just rekindle their interest in the track event, all would be right with the world, but that's unlikely!

    It really is 0805 GT. Sold new to Pierre Noblet in France. Prior to that Noblet had owned an earlier TDF with number 0619 GT. In order to avoid paying taxes for the new, later car, 0805 GT was renumbered to 0619 GT. That is the number it uses today.
    In 1961 the car was stolen in Paris and damaged, found again. Then in 1966 it was crashed heavily into the wall of a Peugeot factory in France, right side and rear extensively damaged. In November 1971 the damaged car was sold to Gary D. Schmidt, an American service man stationed at the time in Bitburg, Eifel mountains, Germany. Schmidt sold it to Wayne Sparling, the Chinetti panelbeater in Florida. Sparling removed the old damaged bodywork and built a new one from scratch, to his own liking and with awkward proportions. Sparling kept the remains of the old Scaglietti bodywork. The Sparling recreated car was for sale at the RM Sotheby's auction in Amelia Island 12 March 2016. The proportions of the car were not right. After Sparling passed away the family found the remains of the old original Scaglietti body. These old original body parts were good enough to restore the car. The restoration was done by Quality Cars of Padova, Italy, for current owner Martin Gruss.
    Here's a pic out of the Jess Pourret 250 GT book showing the damaged TDF at the Peugeot factory wall in the late 60s. And another photo showing the car with the less perfect Sparling body. Sparling showed the car at the FCA Nationals in Sebring 2003 and at Cavallino in 2008.
