People don’t just come to see the classics on the track. Spectators bring their own classics to show off, too, and the variety and rarity leaves nothing to be desired. Classic Triumphs are some of my personal favorites, and this TR5 made me happy.
Jaguar E-type coupe? Sure, I’ll just park this right here. It’s not like it’s worth anything. Wait, that’s my Subaru in the background that isn’t worth anything. E-types are pretty pricey these days, especially beautiful examples like this one.
Cars tend to park in groups, whether in the “official” corrals or not. Here a group of Lotuses (Lotusi?), “old” and new, is on display.
Don’t worry, the Japanese classics are well represented, too. Here we see a pair of Datsun 1600 roadsters.
Every year the event has a “featured” marque. The 2016 Mitty featured Ford in all its shapes, colors, and sizes. Here a group of Factory Five Cobras represents. But, in my opinion, almost everything was overshadowed by the Mitty’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Can-Am series.
That’s right! This year’s Mitty featured an immense gathering of Can-Am vehicles, and I have to say that these classic Ford GT40s stole the Ford show.
Everyone seemed to agree. The Can-Am pit walk just after lunch was one of the busiest and most packed times of the day.
