The 2009 EURO Auto Festival was filled with the excitement of European vintage of excellence!
The EURO Auto Festival (http://www.euroautofestival.com/) was held at the gorgeous BMW Zentrum in Greer, SC. The featured marque for 2009 was the Morgan, which is celebrating its 100th year anniversary! The wooden bodied classic was lining the field, and stole the show.
The show also honored the 50th year anniversary of the Mini and 20th year anniversary of the BMW 8 Series. Other vintage models attracted to the show included the Austin Healey, MG, Triumph, Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce, Volvo, Porsche, Jaguar, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Opel and more!
The charity of choice is the Disaster Relief Fund of the American Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org/), which all proceeds will be donated from the show.
