Unfortunately I couldn't afford the time (from my family vacation) or the ticket to attend this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which featured 12 original 289 and 427 Cobras in honour of the marque's 50th anniversary.  Here are some great photos from the event, found on the Interwebs.

Just to add:  the 2012 event poster (as well as previous ones) was realized by a very gifted english artist: Tim Layzell. I really love his artwork and met him and his work when i bought a '68 TVR VIXEN few years ago from him [:D] ! He also painted the Octane cover, with a 289 FIA, few months ago ...
   
   
   
   His work can be admired on his website :  http://www.timlayzell.com/
   
   No interest in it, just a fan [:o)] ...
