Even in the best case scenario, the forecast for Sunday’s scheduled Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance includes rain and lots of it. With a 100% chance of heavy precipitation forecast for Sunday and a sunshine-filled Saturday in the mix, Bill Warner and his team have chosen to move Sunday’s award-winning Concours to Saturday. The Concours show will now coincide with Saturday’s Cars & Coffee at the Concours presented by Heacock Classic Insurance.
The new schedule is as follows
Saturday, March 11, Cars & Coffee at the Concours: 9am until 5pm
Saturday, March 11, Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 9:30am until 5pm
Other important changes include moving Saturday’s Legends of the Leaping Cat – Jaguar Racing Driver’s Seminar will move to Sunday at 10:30am in the Talbot Ballroom, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island
Saturday evening’s Gala is unchanged.
RM Sothebys Auction will also remain unchanged.
Same great view, but one day earlier this year.
