The 2017 Lime Rock Festival was a smash success despite soggy weather on Sunday. Vintage BMW motorcycles from the Turtle Garage Collection were proudly displayed alongside several of Bruce Meyer’s stunning cars that were shipped all the way from Los Angles. His display included Briggs Cunningham’s LeMans Corvette, the first Shelby Cobra ever built, a huge vintage Bentley, and two historic hot rods.
The following photos and videos chronicle a wonderful weekend in the Park:
