| Formula One and FIM motorcycle world champion John Surtees dies at the age of 83 Posted by Kurt Ernst - John Surtees aboard a Vincent at Dunsfold, England, in 2012. Photo by Supermac1961.

Counting the shots taken during setup on March 10 (but excluding auction coverage), your humble author shot around 1,900 images of vehicles at the concours.
