I love that! Nick Mason’s Ferrari 250 GT was there, and he races it yearly. He also did the sound installation for the exhibit.
Great pintxos indeed!
Maybe a reason to visit Bilbao, exhibition: art & cars @ the Guggenheim

Wonderful details indeed!
There were quite a few interesting door handle/opening mechanisms on the early cars:
I really loved the Mercedes 300SL frame that they had hanging on the wall. Couldn't photograph it well though because the tubes were all black and so was the wall it was mounted on. Really amazing construction, and now it's painfully obvious why the door sills are so wide on the Gullwing. Even when you've read about these things before, seeing them in person is a whole different experience.

Endurance racing, illuminates the car number to keep track of which car is which during the night part.
Here's a modern version of the same thing, and thanks for sharing your photos!
so this is finished, cars are leaving the museum today:
I don't think I'd want to be responsible for transporting those cars. Yikes!
I'm still very glad I got to see the exhibit and visit your wonderful city. It's too bad we missed each other - next time though!
