We are excited that the Alken was accepted to the annual Amelia Island
Concours this year with the show on March 3rd. That’s a big honor on the East Coast as they only select 275 cars. There is a driving event we will attend.

Thanks for all of the support on the Samba during the restoration.

There are some other Alkens out there under restoration!

At the Festivals of Speed in Tampa last weekend we picked up a top judges award. It was 34 degrees on the hr drive down! I think the heater boxes helped …..

Glad to hear you made it safely through the hurricane and that the Alken is back on the road. How is the Ghia coming along?

Had to take a lot of stuff off the Ghia and pull the engine to really clean. Should not be a problem but lots of work at the moment to get it as clean as possible. Thanks
