Canepa Cars & Coffee Pictures

Today we gathered a small group of vintage Datsuns and visited Cars and Coffee hosted by Canepa Design. Our drive started from ZCG and took us through the beautiful winding highway 17 up to Scotts Valley.
We had 12 cars in our caravan including three S30 Z-cars, Matt’s Turbo 510, three roadsters, VW bug, Sprite, TR-6 and Gary’s Skyline.

Here is a short video of the ride capturing most of the cars from inside Rob’s  RB25DET-powered 240z:

When we arrived, Canepa’s parking lot was packed with exotics and plenty of eye candy. A few cars that caught my eye included a Gullwing Benz, Ariel Atom, Hertz Mustang, Peter’s Skyline, and a pretty Alfa Giulietta:

Canepa was kind of enough to open the entire shop and museum to the public. Jaws dropped and minds were blown as folks toured the facility…

This Ferrari-powered Gatto had a sexy body and one of the most exquisite interiors I have ever seen:

Back to the parking lot there were more hidden gems to be found. This Sprite had something different under its bonnet: a 20V Toyota 4AGE drivetrain!

We had a great time visiting Canepa and look forward to more Cars and Coffee events here. Thanks to all that made the drive up to Scotts Valley! Don’t forget to check the gallery for more pictures!

On the drive back I spotted a caged Miata with helmet-wearing drivers…any idea who these masked crusaders are?  🙂
