The fairways and greens of the Golf Club of Amelia Island will once again be the showplace for one of the nation's most impressive auto shows.

For the 12th consecutive year, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will feature one of the most impressive displays of rare and vintage automobiles found anywhere in the world.

The honoree for the 2007 event will be endurance racing legend Derek Bell MBE. The Sussex, England, native is a five-time winner at LeMans and a three-time champion at the 24 Hours of Daytona. Best known for his long and successful association with Porsche's 956/962 prototype program, Bell is a consultant and test driver today for Bentley Motors and splits his time between Florida and Europe.

Also for 2007, instead of a car marque, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will celebrate the "Great Road Races" such as the Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, Carrera Panamericana, and the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race. The histories of all these great races will be the subject of a seminar along with drivers and machines from these races. Don't miss it!

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Match 11. Tickets are $40 in advance, $45 day of the show. Student tickets (ages 12-18) are $20. No charge for children under 12.
