Cars and Coffee is an informal car show held in Irvine and other cities  
early Saturday mornings.  Given the car culture in Southern California,  
rare 
and exotic cars are often present.  But when the Ferrari Club  sponsored one 
morning in November, something special was in the making.
 
A tractor-trailer pulls up early and unloads 5 vehicles, on their way to be 
 delivered to a Mexican collector.  Among them:
 
A 1952 340 Mexico Spyder originally raced in the Carrera Panamerica.   The 
only spyder, as the other three of the type were closed coupes.

Regardless of their color, vintage Ferraris are works of art.  I hope  you 
enjoy this selection.
