Welcome IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO COMPILE THIS SIXTH EDITION of the Concours Year, and with it the chance to witness new birth, expansion, consolidation and reinvention across the global concours scene. The emergence this past year of spectacular events such as The Oberoi, ModaMiami, The Aurora and Icons Mallorca The Grand suggests a robust high-end collector sector, while swelling visitor numbers at long-established concours prove interest in older vehicles, of all ages, is stronger than ever.

There’s a quiet confidence among organisers, too, with many declaring their 2024 event to be “the best one yet”. You could easily attribute that to the diversification of long-established formulas – the inclusion of modern classics and late-20th century supercars as competitive classes has certainly opened concours events up to a broader audience. There’s also the rise of the preservation class to consider. Overall wins for unrestored cars at two of ‘the majors’ has most beneficially fuelled fresh conversation and sparked healthy debate.

The addition of new aspects – whether that be vintage dirt track racing, pedal car parades, putting the spotlight on raw originality or highlighting youngtimer-owning youth – takes nothing away from the outrageous elegance of a French pre-war aero-wonder. It all makes for a richer tapestry.

No matter your particular automotive bent, whether that be for a brass era marvel or a Le Mans-winning McLaren, a deep love of cars unites us all.

So we hope you enjoy slowly leafing through this edition, admiring 2024’s rich celebration of the beautiful automobile.

2024 Concours Year Awards From a remarkably high standard of events around the world, we choose the winners for seven very special categories WOR D S DAVID L IL LY W H IT E

WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE MANY OF THE world’s greatest concours and collector car events up close and personal – and for those that we don’t, we always have representatives to report back on what went on.

This is how we’re able to compare the events every year, and judge the greatest cars, classes, participants and more. Once again, this year, the judging was overseen by ICJAG judge Chris Kramer, who consulted with the various experts, including members of The Concours Year editorial team, to discuss the candidates for each category.

This year the standards of the concours and the cars alike was exceptionally high once again.

And so, without further ado, the 2024 winners are...

2024 CONCOU R S YEA R AWA R D S

CONCOURS CLASS OF THE YEAR To reflect the most innovative and important classes of the year THE WINNER IS: Wedge-Shaped Concept Cars & Prototypes at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, PEBBLE BEACH takes the Concours Class of the Year award, this time for its crowd-pleasing Wedge-Shaped Concept Cars & Prototypes class. Far away from the traditional concours cars that Pebble Beach is so known for, the wedge class wowed the visitors and proved to the organisers that it’s okay to shake things up a bit, even at the most important concours event in the world. As a result, Pebble Beach has a Japanese concepts class in 2025.

CONCOURS EVENT OF THE YEAR For the most impressive and influential event of the year THE WINNER IS: The Oberoi Concours d’Elegance FOR AN INAUGURAL EVENT TO ACHIEVE THIS AWARD is remarkable – but then, The Oberoi was exactly that: remarkable.

It wasn’t a huge concours, but what it did was to raise the levels of presentation and hospitality to new heights in the concours world. To do this is India, which has only a limited tradition of concours, makes the achievement all the more impressive.

2024 CONCOURS Y E A R AWA RD S

ENTRANTS OF THE YEAR For the true stars of concours of 2024 THE WINNERS ARE: Stephen and Kimmy Brauer

EVERY YEAR, STEPHEN – A FORMER US AMBASSADOR to Belgium – and Kimmy Brauer modestly enter cars into concours events around the world. In 2024, they were rewarded with a Best in Show at Concours of Elegance Hampton Court for their unique 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Convertible by Inskip, voted for by their fellow entrants at the event.

UNSUNG HERO OF THE YEAR To honour tireless work promoting classic cars THE WINNER IS: Nigel Matthews IT’S RARE TO VISIT A CONCOURS EVENT AND NOT SEE Nigel Matthews – and in the year of a landmark birthday, he extended his busy schedule to help introduce ICJAG judging to the Concours at Wynns Las Vegas. However, it’s his tireless work introducing young people to concours judging, and to collector cars in general, that has really cemented this award for 2024.

CONCOURS INITIATIVE OF THE YEAR Recognising innovation in the concours world THE WINNER IS: Lugano Excellence IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT’S NEEDED MORE THAN anything in the concours world, it’s a greater understanding of the events among car enthusiasts and the general public. By allowing free entry, Lugano did exactly this – to great effect. It’s a policy that’s also behind the success of Concours on Savile Row.

CONCOURS ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR The special endeavour that stood out in 2024 THE WINNER IS: 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Figoni, HM Collection ALL THE TALK THIS YEAR WAS OF PRESERVATION cars, particularly of the Best of Show Bugatti at Pebble Beach. But this unrestored Alfa Romeo, a Best of Show contender at Pebble Beach in 2023, started the ball rolling in 2024 by winning at Villa d’Este – after the son of its owner encouraged his father to enter.

CONCOURS CAR OF THE YEAR

IT’S THE SHEER HISTORY OF THIS CAR THAT astounds, as much as its condition. Brian and Kim Ross chose their 1957 Ferrari 335 S to exhibit at more than one event this year, but it was at Salon Privé that it struck gold, winning Best of Show. Chassis 0674 was raced by Maurice Trintignant and Peter Collins at Sebring, and Wolfgang von Trips in the Mille Miglia, set fastest lap at Le Mans with Mike Hawthorn and Luigi Musso, and won the 1958 Cuban GP at the hands of Stirling Moss.

IF EVER THERE WAS A YEAR THAT PROVED THE strength of the concours scene, it was this one. What a year 2024 turned out to be – and to think that just four years ago Covid lockdowns had decimated events worldwide, leaving us wondering if concours would – or could – ever recover.

So what was so good about 2024? For us, the headlines were: several great new events; increasing manufacturer involvement; innovative classes; ever-improving judging standards; the continued influx of younger collectors; and high-profile examples of both preservation and sympathetic restoration.

Of course it wasn’t all good news. We lost a few really highprofile collectors, most notably Arturo Keller and Judge Joseph Cassini, who had both been fixtures in the concours world for decades. And then there was the necessarily rapid sale of the cars of another great stalwart of the scene, Peter Mullin. He passed away in 2023, and the Mullin Collection has now mostly been split up and sold – though his widow Merle continues to take part in her favourite events and three of the very best cars are now on display in the Petersen Automotive Museum.

All of those celebrated collectors would have been happy to see so many younger enthusiasts taking part in concours during 2024. Most events have become more open to change since Covid, embracing newer cars, a more vibrant atmosphere, higher levels of hospitality and entertainment and much improved marketing. Classes such as the 30 Under 30 introduced

by Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court and Audrain Newport Concours have actively encouraged much younger entrants with great success. At a higher level, more established but still relatively young collectors such as Phillip Sarofim and Yohan Poonawalla brought some of the most interesting cars to concours across the US, UK and Europe.

The most talked-about new event of 2024 was ModaMiami, launched in direct competition with The Amelia. The lively atmosphere, the hospitality, the venue, the mix of cars – all worked well. What was especially apparent was the convenience of being so close to an international airport and the wealth of hotels that Miami offers, at a wide range of price points.

The classiest new launch of 2024, though, surely went to The Oberoi Concours d’Elegance, from the upmarket hotel chain of the same name. The Oberoi took place in Udaipur, India, bringing high luxury and a truly remarkable selection of cars not just from its own country but from around the world, and was

17

so exquisitely run that one very experienced concours judge was moved to describe it as the best concours he’d ever been to.

The UK’s Thorough Events company, organisers of the London Concours and Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, took the bold step of introducing a top-level concours to the shores of Tegernsee, Germany. A small event had run sporadically in previous years on another part of the lake but the feeling was that a UK company wouldn’t be able to make a Hampton Court-style event work in Germany. July’s Concours of Elegance Germany proved the doubters wrong, and there’s every sign that the new event will continue to grow.

Similarly, Sweden – again not obvious concours territory – saw the launch of The Aurora, with strong support from Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg. And, once again, this new venture proved that a varied format and thoughtful hospitality can work anywhere in the world.

But what of the established events? What do they have to do to keep up? Innovation and adaptation are surely the keys, as demonstrated best in 2024 by Salon Privé in the UK and The Quail, A Motorsport Gathering, in the US. The former has a history of adding new features and events to its roster, and for 2024 it was the vibrant MotorAvia evening party at Oxford Airport – very much inspired by the Motorlux ‘Jet Center Party’ during Monterey Car Week.

And The Quail? Some complain that it’s now less of a classic car event, and proportionally that’s true; the classics no longer significantly outnumber the new cars. But the event itself has spread further, so there are still plenty of classics to see. What’s changed is that the manufacturers – from small but significant restomod builders to the likes of Lamborghini – have adopted it as the US launchpad of choice for their most significant models.

And the public can’t get enough, with a ballot now in operation for tickets – and tales of some re-selling for well over $2000.

It’s also worth mentioning Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance, which through sheer hard work by former Amelia Islander Chris Brewer and team has jumped from average to top

of the class in terms of car content, and Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, which re-established its serious intent by installing ICJAGlevel judging for 2024, as part of a highly successful transformation of the event. Acknowledgement as well to Patrick and Sylviane Peter, of Peter Auto, for Chantilly Arts & Elegance; this year saw them hand over its running to new CEO Marc Ouayoun.

That brings us to the pinnacle of the concours world: Pebble Beach. Is it still the pinnacle in fact? Yes, we’d say it is, and 2024 was one of its best yet. Its Wedge-Shaped Concept Cars & Prototypes and 1990s BPR & FIA GT Race Cars classes represented the desire for it to continue to adapt for a changing audience – and the wedges in particular were surely the stars of the event. Other surprising treats included an array of HRH Queen Elizabeth II’s official and personal Land Rovers and Range Rovers, lined up along the Pacific coastline!

That just leaves us with the big, slightly scruffy elephant in the room: the preservation class cars. There’s been much talk of the importance of preservation in the concours world for years, and it’s been encouraged from the very top. Pebble Beach chairman Sandra Button sagely pointed out last year that there’s a big difference between true preservation and simple neglect.

Ironic, then, that after a preservation class Alfa Romeo 8C made it into the final four contenders for Best of Show at Pebble Beach in 2023, only to be beaten by a perfectly restored 1930s Mercedes, that the same Alfa should cause a stir at Villa d’Este by winning Best of Show in 2024 (incidentally, the People’s Vote there also surprised a few, being a 1990s McLaren F1).

Nothing, though, has made as many headlines and caused as much chatter as the preservation class ex-Prince Leopold of Belgium 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports winning Best of Show at this year’s Pebble Beach. Does it signal the end of restoration?

Of course it doesn’t! But does it show a new appreciation for the importance of history? Absolutely.

Perhaps what’s most pertinent is that the Bugatti could be seen, both before and after the concours, being driven as enthusiastically as ever by its owner, Fritz Burkard.

CONCEPT LAWN 2 024

CONCE P T L AWN 2 0 24 With the traditional motor show on the wane, concours events have become the go-to place for new concepts and restomods – but have we reached saturation point with the latter?

WOR D S NAT H AN C H ADW IC K

THIS YEAR, MORE THAN ever, has seen concours events become the launch pad for the latest and greatest creations from major manufacturers and smaller independent brands alike.

The loss of the Geneva Motor Show, and the trend away from such events in general, has pivoted focus to established concours and concours-adjacent events such as Pebble Beach, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, among others.

The ongoing cult of Porsche and its accompanying restomod scene has sat astride the concours lawn landscape for much of the year, with mostly positive responses.

However, Ferrari-based restomods have been more controversial BELOW Track-focused, 745bhp Aston Martin Valiant.

judging by social media reactions – in particular the 355 by Evoluto launched at Goodwood.

The hypercar arena continues to be a closely fought domain, with the likes of the Automobili Pininfarina B95 Gotham and Battista Targamerica, Pagani Utopia Roadster, Karma Automotive Ivara, Bugatti Tourbillon, Rimac Nevera R and Hennessey F5 Stealth Series all vying for attention in the headbutt-the-horizon stakes.

Maserati got in on the act, too, with the track-inspired MC20 GT2 Stradale.

However, judged on impact alone, one car dominated this summer – and it comes from a farm in the middle of Oxfordshire.

More on that later...

ASTON MARTIN VALIANT Inspired by a bespoke commission from Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso, this lightweight, track-friendly version of the Valour supercar made its debut at the Festival of Speed. Limited to 38 examples, it blends a 745bhp twinturbocharged V12 with a six-speed manual gearbox. It also features a 3D-printed rear subframe, which shaves 3kg of mass, and magnesium wheels, which remove 14kg of unsprung weight. It rides on a Multimatic ASV damper system, and is said to be still road-legal.

of the Auto Union marque, the Type 52 Schnellsportwagen is the culmination of a 90-year saga.

Designed in 1933 with input from the Ferdinand Porsche design office, it was intended to be a customer racing car for the Mille Miglia and Le Mans 24 Hours. The project came to nothing in 1935, but thanks to the UK’s Crosthwaite & Gardiner, it has finally been built, with a 6.0-litre Auto Union Type C Grand Prix engine good for 512bhp.

BMW CONCEPT SKYTOP Revealed at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the Skytop Concept is based on the BMW 8 Series. Powered by a 626bhp twinturbocharged 4.4-litre V8, it features a removable targa-style

roof and integral roll-over hoop.

A strict two-seater with nods to the Z8 roadster, a small-scale production run has been mooted.

CADILLAC OPULENT VELOCITY One of two Cadillac concepts to break cover – the other being the Sollei drop-top – this swish 2+2 is a vision of the firm’s EV future. It features a multi-functional yoke steering wheel and augmented reality head-up display – and if the mood doesn’t take you, it has level 4 autonomous driving capability.

DS AUTOMOBILES SM TRIBUTE CONCEPT Built to mark ten years of the DS Automobiles brand, the SM Tribute

design study made its debut at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance concours in September. Inspired by the Citroën SM of the 1970s, it previews the brand’s forthcoming aesthetic direction. Aside from the stunning Gold Leaf paintwork, other tributes to the SM include rear wheel spats and a wraparound cover for the headlights and numberplate, formed by a 3D screen that acts as a light bar.

FORD CAPRI On the face of it, there isn’t much that’s controversial about this electric fastback SUV, but for European audiences its Goodwood FoS arrival was deemed an insult to the Blue Oval’s history. While the Mustang Mach-E was accepted,

BELOW Carbonbodied 993-based 500bhp Gunther Werks GW R.

the European Capri was seen as sacred ground. The new car’s quad-headlamp design is said to have been informed by the Mk3 Capri of the 1980s, but underneath it’s heavily related to the Explorer SUV. It is available in RWD and AWD forms, with battery power ranging from 168bhp to 335bhp.

GUNTHER WERKS GW R The GW R is a return to the naturally aspirated 993 recipe, but this time with added lightness. It’s the first time a Gunther Werks car has had carbon doors and a carbon body, resulting in a weight of just 1088kg. Torsional rigidity is up by 150 percent over a standard 993 thanks to extra bracing, which is useful as the 4.0-litre flat-six

produces a formidable 500bhp and revs to 9000rpm. The wheelbase is 30mm longer than the original and it rides on double-wishbone front suspension. Just 40 are being built.

LAMBORGHINI TEMERARIO Kissing goodbye to a powerplant as beloved as Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V10 was always going to be a challenge, but the Temerario certainly lives up to Sant’Agata’s ‘more is more’ credo in terms of oomph. The new ‘baby’ Lambo packs 907bhp from its hybridised twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 combined with three electric motors, and the V8 itself revs to up to 9750rpm – quite a feat for a turbocharged engine. The

Temerario is said to hit 62mph in 2.7 seconds and reach 211mph.

MG CYBER GTS CONCEPT This year saw the long-awaited launch of the all-electric MG Cyberster, but we also saw a vision of what a coupé version could look like. This 2+2 was revealed as a design-in-progress, though it may well become a production reality in time for 2025’s celebrations around the MGB GT. NILU27 NILU Compared with the MG, the Nilu could be seen as decidedly oldschool – it features a naturally aspirated V12 and a seven-speed open-gate manual gearbox, with

styling that nods to supercars of the pre-millennial era. However, the performance figures are distinctly 2024 (and beyond) – the V12, sourced from Harley Engines, develops more than 1000bhp from 6.5 litres and revs to nearly 12,000rpm. That’s a lot in a car that weighs 1200kg thanks to a carbon monocoque, aluminium alloy tubular subframes and a carbon body. Just 69 will be built.

RED BULL RB17 Red Bull may be waving goodbye to the Adrian Newey era, but what a leaving present. This track-only hypercar designed by the foremost F1 designer of the current – or perhaps any – era features a 1200bhp 4.5-litre V10 in a package that weighs just 900kg. The V10 revs to 15,000rpm, and all that power goes to the rear wheels alone. Carbonfibre features widely, even in the construction of the gearbox. The RB17 features active suspension too – something banned on F1 cars since the ’90s.

Just 50 are being built.

RUF RODEO Unveiled during Monterey Car Week, this four-wheel-drive take on the Ruf recipe is intended as a tribute to the American West.

Power comes from a 610bhp allaluminium flat-six developed by Ruf, with power going to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and a pair of limited-slip differentials on the front and rear axles. The engine, gearbox and suspension are enclosed in a carbonfibre monocoque, clothed with carbon body panels. The suspension itself comprises pushrod-activated coilovers with active dampers and can increase

the ride height by up to 9.5in. The Rodeo also features a roll cage and lightweight bucket seats.

TOURING SUPERLEGGERA VELOCE12 The first new Touring car in five years broke cover at The Quail.

Described as an evolution of the Ferrari 550, it features a brand new carbonfibre body, a reinforced chassis and a new adaptive damping system bespoke to the car, offering a range of suspension set-ups. A fully rebuilt engine, with improvements to the cooling and exhaust systems, takes the V12’s power past 500bhp, and the 550’s interior has been revamped too.

Just 30 are being built.

TUTHILL GT ONE This was the car that dominated the Monterey Car Week agenda from the moment it was spied being unloaded from an aeroplane.

At the time it was unclear just what it was, but all was revealed at The Quail. The latest project from UK Porsche preparation specialists Tuthill, the GT One is a tribute to roadgoing versions of the FIA GT racers of the 1990s, but packaged in a much more road-friendly form.

The carbonfibre body encases double-wishbone front and rear suspension and a 4.0-litre flat-six that’s good for 500bhp or 600bhp, depending on your taste for forced induction, with either a manual or seven-speed dual-clutch semiautomatic gearbox. The GT One weighs 1200kg, just 22 are being built, and all sold within a week.

What to expect in 2025

Important centenaries and significant birthdays, rival events moving apart and an exciting new event in Rome – it’s all happening!

WOR D S DAVID L IL LY W H IT E

LEFT Expect to see plenty of classic F1 cars such as the Ferrari Type 500 as the Formula 1 World Championship celebrates 75 years in 2025.

H

HOW TO FOLLOW SUCH A STRONG YEAR? WELL, WE ASKED THE same question of 2024 after the many spectacular Le Mans centenary displays that we saw in 2023, and that turned out pretty well…

So, what are we likely to see in 2025? As ever, many events are still working on their classes and themes, but you can be sure that the centenary of Chrysler will be a big deal in the US. Chrysler will even be one of the main classes at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, so you can bet we’ll be seeing plenty of truly special examples of the marque.

While we’re talking Pebble Beach, it’s worth mentioning that, contrary to (incorrect) expectation, 2025 will not see the event’s 75th anniversary.

Although it was founded in 1950, the Concours skipped a year in 1960 due to scheduling problems – so the celebrations will take place in 2026.

Over on the opposite coast of the US, The Amelia will be marking its 30th anniversary. It was started by arch-enthusiast Bill Warner, who sold to Hagerty in 2021 and who has now officially been announced as honorary chairman of The Amelia’s Florida rival, ModaMiami – and this year the two events won’t take place on the same weekend. Instead, ModaMiami will be a week ahead of The Amelia, sandwiching Daytona Bike Week between the two concours, geographically and time-wise, which should make for some interesting contrasts for anyone planning to drive between the two.

Or you could stay longer still, for ModaMiami is billing the week preceding its concours weekend as Miami Car Week, beginning with the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida, which starts and finishes at the Biltmore Hotel, where Mille Miglia cars will also be displayed as part of the concours.

Talking of rivals, the UK’s Salon Privé and Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace are now, for the first time for years, on different weekends.

Concours of Elegance has moved back a week, following Goodwood Revival’s week-later date, leaving Salon Privé to kick off September from its usual date. It will make for an exciting two weeks between the two concours, Revival and whichever smaller events are clever enough to fill the gaps.

Meanwhile, 2025 will be the year for 21 Gun Salute to shine in India, this

year moving back to Delhi with another spectacular concours and tour promised. The other big Indian concours, The Oberoi, had its inaugural event in 2024 and the two will continue to run in alternate years. In a fine display of how to be gentlemanly in supposedly rival events, 21 Gun Salute organiser Madan Mohan won the Best of Show Motorcycles award at The Oberoi in 2024 with his 1925 New Hudson 499cc TT, and you can bet that Arjun Oberoi will be entering a car again at 21 Gun Salute in 2025.

Similarly, there’s no Chantilly Arts & Elegance in 2025, as organisers Peter Auto alternate it with the Le Mans Classic.

So, what will we see at the events that do run in 2025? Despite the two big preservation class wins in 2024, at Villa d’Este and Pebble Beach, don’t expect to see a huge influx of such cars in 2025. That will be a more gradual thing. But do expect to see concours following – and sometimes leading – the rapid recent rise in the market for cars of the 1990s and 2000s, though including even 1980s machinery will be quite a step on for some events (and that’s not knocking them, more an acknowledgment that youngtimers don’t sit as naturally in more traditional concours).

The unusually high number of new events launched in 2024 won’t be repeated in 2025, but there is one particularly exciting new development that shouldn’t go unremarked, and that’s the Anantara Concorso Roma, set to take place on April 24-27 in the very centre of Rome. With curation from ‘Mr Concours’ Jeremy Jackson-Sytner and commercial support from the Anantara hotel group, this one promises to be truly special.

Back to anniversaries, and we’ve already mentioned 100 years of Chrysler, but 2025 also marks the centenary of the rather less prolific Invicta company, along with the 100th anniversary of Skoda and the 130th of its forerunner, the Czech automobile and motorcycle manufacturer, Laurin & Klement.

In 2023 the 100th anniversary of coachbuilder Giuseppe Figoni was marked, and two years later we reach the 90th anniversary of the company he went on to form with Ovidio Falaschi. Expect to see a lot of curves for that one. Or, if you prefer your innovation and style a little newer, how about 70 years of the Citroën DS? We can only imagine the weird one-offs that might appear for that model’s birthday celebrations.

Or how about the 70th birthdays of the BMW Isetta and of Alpine, or the 60th of BMW tweakers Alpina. And we also have the 50th birthdays of the Lotus Esprit and of Japanese race car constructor Dome to think about. We also know that The Amelia will be celebrating Corvette at Sebring and Alfa Romeos of the 1930s, while Pebble Beach will show off the 1950s and ’60s creations of influential designer Virgil Exner.

The big one though, which we’ve sneakily saved until last, will be Formula 1, which is 75 years old in 2025. Well, the championship started in 1950, even if – as many of you will already be muttering – the first F1 races were in 1946/47. Regardless, we know that this will be by far the most widespread of all the celebrations at concours worldwide, so prepare yourself for some racing greats at an event near (or not so near) you in 2025.

CAT’S GOT THE CREAM Nathan Chadwick breaks his judging duck at Chantilly Arts & Elegance – just what is it like?

“DO YOU FANCY BEING A JUDGE AT CHANTILLY?” No disrespect to my neighbours, but the steely monotone vista of a grim September morning in rural Lincolnshire prompted the fastest ‘yes’ to a question I’ve ever conjured.

David Lillywhite’s hectic schedule meant that I was to deputise for him – but then I started to consider just what I was taking on. I may have been to many concours events over the years, but I’d never judged – well, not the cars, anyway. When social lubrication involves Amazon River-levels of fizz it makes for fascinating social anthropology.

However, my weekend would be Chantilly Arts & Elegance – an event I’d always wanted to go to, having contributed to The Concours Year in the past and only been able to imagine the magnificent location, in the Valley of the Nonette in the Hautsde-France region of Northern France. Chantilly Arts & Elegance was founded by Patrick and Sylvanie Peter of Peter Auto in 2014, and I’d had a taste of their exceptional attention to detail at 2023’s Le Mans Classic. It promised to be very special indeed – and not only because of its location.

The Château de Chantilly was originally a fortified building sprouting from the marshlands of the Nonette river on a pile of rock. Its elevated position gave it control of the road from Paris to Senlis in the Middle Ages, and over the centuries it’s been a cornerstone of French society’s elite, with all the drama that entailed – it was confiscated by King Louis XIII, and later partdismantled by the French Revolution’s Bande Noire.

However, it’s also been a haven for artists such as Molière, Racine, La Bruyère, La Fontaine and Bossuet, and its current incarnation was designed to house the Duke of Aumale’s art collection. The Grand Château, demolished during the Revolution, was rebuilt to its present form by architect Honoré Daumet in 1845. A year after the Duke of Aumale’s death in 1898, the estate opened its doors to the public.

Getting to Chantilly was a big part of the experience – while it’s just a 45-minute train journey from central Paris and thus

easily accessible via aeroplane or train from the UK, I fancied something suitably four-wheeled and French. With Chantilly only a three-hour drive from Calais, Alpine UK was happy to loan me an A110 GT for the weekend.

While not quite so much of a grand tourer as its badging might suggest – my suitcase didn’t fit in either of the luggage compartments and had to sit in the footwell – the A110 was immense fun for scything through the French countryside.

A great precursor to the weekend.

The event proper began with a magnificent meal at the Auberge de Jeu de Paume; a chance for jurors and guests to get together and take stock of a fascinating if somewhat rollercoaster year in the collector car world. It was a good chance to finally meet and set the world to rights with people I’d only previously interviewed via Zoom calls.

As much as I could have passed the time discussing the rights and wrongs of Maserati and Lancia past, present and future with Simon Kidston, I had some work to do. I had been put forward to judge the Mercedes-Benz SL class alongside Martin Button of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and Patrik Gottwick of Mercedes-Benz Classic. Considering Martin owns a 300 SL and Patrik lives and breathes the Three-Pointed Star, I thought better of mentioning my rollercoaster experiences of owning several Mercedes-Benz cars over the years.

Thankfully, the SL models on display in the class were all excellent examples, and all in very different ways. There was a charming 190 SL, a brace of W113 Pagodas and two 300 SLs – and each of them had a very special tale to tell.

It was this that most fascinated me. I’ve been to many concours events where all you get to know about a car is a few lines in a catalogue or, if you’re lucky, some edited highlights whizzed through by a compere. Here I got to learn fascinating stories – such as the one associated with the 1965 230 SL Pagoda entered by Axel Schröter. Beautifully restored in a defiantly old-school fashion, the sunlight glinting off the

ABOVE One of two ultra-rare MCA Centenaires at Chantilly; a masked ball rounded the event off.

‘One of the joys of Chantilly is the sheer diversity of automotive treats on show’ to see the selection committee of Patrick Peter, Mar Ouayoun and François Melcion to state our case for our final line-up.

Then, with the judging complete, it was time to relax at an amazing masked ball among the beautiful artwork of the château. Topped off with fabulous music and a firework display, this was a truly special experience.

One of the joys of Chantilly is the sheer diversity of automotive treats on show. From pre-war to post-war, there was something unique in each class. My personal highlight had to be the Tribute to Carlo Chiti class, which featured not only a Ferrari 250 GTO and a racing Alfa Romeo 33 but two MCA Centenaires – a car I’d only previously seen in 1/43-scale as a somewhat shonky Bburago metal toy. Then there were the special-bodied Maseratis and Lancias, the celebration of Lamborghini’s Countach… it was an absolute feast.

Patrick and the team should be praised for attracting such diversity. Some concours seem obsessed with pre-war cars, with anything post-1970 added as a bit of an afterthought.

Chantilly struck the balance right – and the enthusiastic support of various clubs, who all brought out something very special, only added to the allure. It felt more like a festival, rather than a formal concours, and it was far more enjoyable as a result.

As for the SL class winner? You’ll have to read the report later in this book… Let’s just say that it was a worthy victor, although the result was closer than you might imagine.

As I sat among my judging colleagues watching the parades, I felt privileged to be there, and in awe of what the team at Peter Auto had achieved. Would I come back? Absolutely.

NICOLAS BREMAUD / VALENTIN PAGNIER / VICTORIACOLLECTION

immaculate Tunis Beige metallic paintwork, it was already one of my favourites – but its back-story was great, too. It was bought new by the Italian wife of a German businessman, who loved the car so much she took it to the US and kept it for 46 years, before selling it to Axel. He commenced a full-scale restoration, and the result is utterly beautiful.

Then there was the 1957 300 SL Roadster owned by Thierry Halff. Originally sold to the US via a Studebaker-Packard dealership in South Bend, Indiana, it had returned to Europe after several owners across the Southern US. It was then restored mechanically, but the rich patina of the green paintwork and interior warmed the heart.

However, it was the bright red 1955 300 SL Gullwing that looked like a favourite early on. One of only 29 alloy-bodied Gullwings made, it was originally owned by Rob Walker – the heir to the Johnnie Walker whisky dynasty, and F1 and endurance racing team boss. As reproduced in the briefing pack, Walker wrote extensively and amusingly about his experiences with the 300 SL for Motor Sport magazine in period. Not everyone was a fan – notably, while washing the car his wife felt quite ill due to the colour and it was repainted white.

After a spot of competition in period, it was sold and returned to its original red; in later life it was owned by rock star Mark Knopfler, before joining a German collection in the mid-1990s, when it was mechanically restored.

Even with just the briefing pack to go on, the choice would be challenging. After a spot of lunch at the Polo Club in Apremont, the judging began. Each car had a maximum of 100 points available, plus a few bonus points, spread across five different categories, ranging from the purely objective (functionality and originality) to somewhat more subjective considerations – elegance, in particular.

Running the rule over someone’s pride and joy is daunting at the best of times, but especially so when they’re earnestly and enthusiastically standing near you while you’re poring over a bonnet for signs of under- or over-restoration. However, with Patrik as a guide for the minutiae, and Martin there to assist with the more emotive side of judging, it became a fascinating revelation of the lengths owners go to. My respect for concours entrants only heightened, especially those who took part in the Chantilly tour – the passion to get their cars there from across Europe is hugely impressive. With the scores totted up it was off

A winning formula

Supporters and donors plus annual and lifetime members of the Petersen Automotive Museum celebrated another hugely successful year at Pebble Beach and The Quail.

NO ONE JOINS A CLUB OR TAKES UP membership of an organisation solely for what they can get out it. That’s especially the case with the many thousands of Petersen Supporters.

From the individual members and donors to the Checkered Flag 200 club and Lifetime members, it’s a good bet each one is committed to the cause of preserving and celebrating automotive heritage through exhibition and education. That said, as members they’re also entitled to a range of benefits from valuable discounts at the café and the store and on guest tickets to regular complimentary digital magazine content and unlimited free admission.

And, with exhibits as varied as Best in Low: Lowriders Icons of the Street and Show, Modern Concepts: Future Visions from the Recent Past, The Cars of Film and Television, Cars are Beautiful: Mr Brainwash @ the Petersen and

many more, there’s always plenty to see at the Petersen. And that’s before you begin discovering the more than 250 cars on constant rotation hidden in the museum’s famed Vault.

Members can also take pride in knowing they belong to a club that encompasses the cream of California car collectors. Nowhere is this more apparent than Petersen supporters’ performance at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

Two of the most prestigious car events in the world, they were dominated once again this year

by Petersen donors and Members across all membership levels, including Checkered Flag 200, the club formed almost 30 years ago by founding member and co-chairman of the Petersen board, Bruce Meyer. Today’s supporters include collectors, designers, racers and heads of the automotive industry: think

Anne Lee Brockinton, Henry Ford III, Ralph Gilles, Aaron Shelby, Zak Brown and more.

Membership dues for CF200 are $1800 annually, or a one-time contribution of $50,000 for Lifetime Membership, much of which is tax deductible. Members enjoy exclusive invitations to events, private collection tours and special access to the Petersen year round.

For Monterey Car Week, many CF200 Members travel with the Petersen Automotive Museum’s Pebble Beach Rally in convoy up the coast from LA. And as you’ll see, the Members and friends of the Petersen made quite an impact in Monterey in 2024, taking many class wins and special awards.

YOHAN POONAWALLA’S PASSION FOR CARS WAS instilled in childhood. “I gravitated towards motor cars from an early age,” says the 52-year-old. “The automobiles of my parents and ancestors that I saw growing up and those that transported me to school left a lasting impression on me.

“It was a combination of my fascination with horses and horsepowered wheels that got me into collecting both,” he continues. “I bought my first serious collector car in 2001, a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III by Park Ward that was delivered new to the Maharaja of Panchkote, and after that, as they say, the rest is history.”

Today, the Yohan Poonawalla Collection is an eclectic mix of pre-war, post-war, modern classics and supercars, but a recurring theme is automobiles with special histories, such as ones owned or used by various maharajas, nawabs, sheikhs, heads of state, British royalty and even the Pope.

At the heart of the collection is a carefully curated selection of bespoke Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. “All the cars are treated with equal respect and each is unique, with its own story to tell,” says Yohan. “However, there are some cars that are just stars…”

Chief among them is a recent acquisition, ‘17EX’ (pictured left, at bottom), the iconic 1928 Rolls-Royce Sports Phantom I Experimental Prototype. This one-off with aerodynamic bodywork by Jarvis and a unique 7.8-litre six-cylinder engine was built to outdo Bentley with a rival sports car that could break the 100mph barrier. Following extensive testing, including

by Sir Henry Royce himself, 17EX was delivered new to His Highness Maharaja Hari Singh, the Maharaja of Kashmir.

This year 17EX won Best of Show in its first outing with its new owner at the Valletta Concours in Malta, the victory tasting all the sweeter for coming in the year Rolls-Royce celebrated its 120th birthday. In October it picked up multiple awards at ICONS Mallorca, including Best of Show (Pre-war) and the trophy for overall Best of Show.

Today 17EX lives in illustrious company with a galaxy of other historic Phantoms such as ‘140 MY’, the 1933 Phantom II of record-breaker Sir Malcolm Campbell, a 1962 Phantom V Limousine by James Young previously owned by the Emir of Qatar, and a 1979 Phantom VI Limousine by Mulliner Park Ward that was used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on state visits.

The collection is also home to award-winning Bentleys such as the famous ‘Rhubarb & Custard Car’, the 1949 Mark VI

coachbuilt by Hooper for the Maharajah of Mysore, at the time the second richest man in the world. This car won the Duke of Marlborough Award at Salon Privé in 2021.

But the collection also includes many fine examples of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Mercedes-Benz. And then there’s the ‘Popemobile’, a 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible imported into India for the use of Pope Paul VI. How does Yohan select cars to add to the collection? “To me there’s more to cars than just appearance,” he says. “I do have a particular interest in cars with bespoke features and ones with interesting provenance and pedigree. Who were their past owners and what events has the car been part of? Originality, preservation and period-correctness all count, too.”

His collecting passion has been widely recognised. He was the first – and so far the only – Indian to be included in the Top 100 Classic Car Collectors of the World, compiled by the Classic Car Trust. Other honours have included being named Classic Car Ambassador of the Year at the Historic Motoring Awards.

“These accolades, though appreciated, come with huge expectations of me, as I am expected to continue to be the flagbearer for India, promoting historic Indian cars on the world stage. But all of this drives me on and strengthens my resolve to do more, to protect, preserve and promote heritage motoring.”

Speaking of which, where does he stand on the question of restoration versus preservation? “It is a predicament one is often faced with,” he says. “As the saying goes, ‘they are only original once’, so I endeavour to keep them the way they are – or revert to originality by referring to build records.

“Concours events offer a great opportunity not just to showcase my cars but also the chance to view other extraordinary cars up-close and hear their stories from their passionate owners,” he continues. “These events provide a platform for enthusiasts to share their passion and knowledge. They also provide the industry and its craftsmen much-needed support for growth.”

And how much of this work can be accomplished in India itself? “There are of course hurdles such as sourcing spares, heavy taxes and import duties, but there is no dearth of talent in India and its restorers are doing a world-class job.

“The popularity of the fabled motor cars of the maharajas continues to soar, and I feel privileged to be in a position to represent the Indian motoring scene around the world.”

T HE JUD GE

“I’M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE FIRST CONCOURS IN which I judged,” says Donald Osborne, his familiar baritone chuckle hinting at an entertaining story to come. “I was asked to judge by some organisers who had become familiar with me through the things that I’d written in Sports Car Market and, I think, the New York Times.

“I recall quite vividly that they asked about my particular interests and specialties. I told them coachbuilt Italian cars and French cars. So they said, ‘Great, fantastic.’ And I arrived, and I was judging Pierce-Arrows. Good. [The chuckle turns to a booming laugh.] I thought that was terrific, because I didn’t know a lot about Pierce-Arrows, so I’d get to learn something about them from my fellow judges, which indeed I did. That was actually a logical extension of the work that I do as an appraiser; I get to learn so much about so many different cars.”

This is typical Donald, always positive. You might have heard him sing The Star-Spangled Banner at concours such as Amelia Island, but he’s now been judging for years, as well.

“One of the things that I like most about judging is the fact that I am a ‘specialist generalist’. I’ve judged cars of all ages, from brass era through to modern supercars. It’s always interesting to be able to look at them with the same set of eyes.”

So of all the judging he’s done, what have been the highlights, we wonder? Donald goes quiet for a brief moment...

“There have been so many highlights because of the various situations of the cars and, most important, the people I’ve gotten to meet and speak with. I’m always very excited when I get to judge a car at an event with an involved and knowledgeable owner, because their enthusiasm for the car has a way of speaking for the car itself. It makes me like the car more.

“Certainly a highlight has to be this year, the first year that I’ve served as a judge at Pebble Beach, having attended the event for many, many, many years. Actually, this year, I think, was my 38th Pebble Beach concours. Having presented cars there six times, it was for me very interesting to go from – as I thought of it – being the anvil to being the hammer.”

There aren’t many people who’ve attended Pebble Beach as a visitor, as media, as an entrant and as a judge.

Donald found the final step into judging truly illuminating.

“I had certain very strong feelings about what the judges at Pebble Beach did and how they did it, and my perspective has completely changed with experience and learning things about

the judging process there that I had totally misinterpreted.

“It was very much impressed upon us in the judges’ meeting [at Pebble Beach] that yes, we are looking for correctness, but we are also looking for how the car presents itself, in terms of its consistency, and also understanding what provenance and presence have to contribute as well. They are far more important than I thought they were in the judging process.

“I was pleased to see that there are some aspects of the cars where non-deductions are taken for safety. If someone runs a car on radials rather than bias-plies, that’s not a deduction. If someone installs seat belts, that is not a deduction. In fact, it’s great, because it encourages people to use the car.”

This seems particularly relevant given this year’s results at Pebble Beach and Villa d’Este, we suggest to Donald.

“Yes, preservation cars have to be judged in a completely different manner. There are very few preservation cars – and the definition is still evolving – that have been completely untouched since they left the factory. So you have to decide what are acceptable changes due to use in the life of the car and which things are simply wrong.

“A preservation car most of all has to present consistently: that the wear it shows is consistent throughout paint, interior, engine compartment, all those things. You don’t necessarily want to see a preservation car that’s been driven on original hoses, because that could present quite a danger.”

This gets Donald onto the other extreme, where concours cars are unrealistically perfect.

“I am not a fan of what I call proctological judging. It’s very difficult for anyone to be able to say in a limited production car of 50 or 60 years ago that these are absolutely the screws and clamps that they always used in every car. No manufacturer anywhere, at any time, has ever shut down their assembly plant because they ran out of the correct clips.”

There’s one last thing that Donald feels strongly about: “Going from one side to the other, Pebble really puts it into sharp contrast that the judges have limited time to inspect every car and make their decision, and the entrant has to be treated extremely well in those ten, 15 or 20 minutes that they have with the car. The entrant also has to understand that.

It’s why their car needs to be presented as clearly as possible.

It’s not that the judges are there to rush them or lack respect, but there’s a lot of ground to cover. It’s so important to get it right.”

T HE RESTOR E R

“CARS HAVE NO CONNECTION NOW – WE’RE LOSING the attachment of driving,” says Andrew Ames of Ashton Keynes Vintage Restorations (AKVR). “We sit in these large cars that basically drive themselves. That’s fine for A to B, but there’s a whole group of people that want to enjoy the drive – I think people will open up to older cars in greater numbers.”

Positive words from Andrew, especially considering so-called experts have been proclaiming the decline of interest in the prewar to ’50s/’60s cars that AKVR specialise in, and which form a large part of the concours world’s bread and butter. “When you’re driving a pre-war car, it’s such an exhilarating experience – the vibration, the feeling when you change gear,” he says. “The analogue character is so refreshing; being at one with a vehicle is such an adventure. I don’t think that people are aware that you can buy any sort of pre-war car and have so much fun.”

This emphasis on ‘doing’ rather than simply ‘displaying’ has been reflected in the type of restorations AKVR is being increasingly asked to perform. “Our clients are definitely wanting to use their cars – that’s the whole point of them, getting them out and enjoying them as opposed to restoring them just to look shiny, and then letting them out once a year,” Andrew affirms. “There was a concern about governments and electric cars, but the developments in synthetic fuels have been encouraging and have allayed a lot of people’s worries.”

Andrew points to the sheer number of events open to pre-war cars as sparking this trend. “Aside from London to Brighton, which I think is going to get a lot more difficult to do, we’ve got so many good events in the UK and around the world that I think people are just saying – let’s use these cars now.”

This does, however, present a bit of a challenge when approaching a full concours restoration, especially considering the lengths AKVR goes to. “It comes down to the level of detail you’re seeking – a normal restoration will aim to have the car as nice as it can be, but usable. A concours restoration ends up going really over what was probably done originally,” he explains.

“There’s not a huge difference between the two philosophies, but for a concours restoration you’re spending a lot of time making sure it’s as close to perfect on the underside as it is on top.”

For an example, Andrew points to something as simple as bolts. “In all our restorations we’ll put the bolts in a lathe and take the digits off the top of their heads, because they never had

BELOW Andrew Ames believes that pre-war cars will continue to be popular in a modern world.

them in period,” he says. “However, for a concours restoration we’d go further, even to the point of trying to get the flats on the bolt heads all lining up.”

Andrew acknowledges that this is far beyond what most cars would have been treated to when new. “Our goal is perfection, but you have to take that with a pinch of salt – in period, they just wanted to get the cars out and sold,” he says. “Our approach is to prepare the cars to how the designers would have wanted them to be, as opposed to what they actually were. It’s as if we could go back to the 1920s and 1930s, sit down with them and ask them the exact level of finish they wanted.”

A big driver in this has been advances in restoration technology, particularly over the past 20 years. “It’s really moved on, and we can embrace this technology to improve the cars further,” he says, pointing to lip seals as a basic example.

“Felt seals are notorious for leaking, but now you can fit a rubber one. Materials have improved a lot, with super-polished gears that can get the noise down and improve efficiency, and you can now make sure that engines – and anything that rotates – are fully balanced, which takes a lot of vibration out of a car. You can also get tolerances a lot better, too.”

Andrew believes it is important to buy the right project in the first place. “The car has to have something interesting about it, such as a family connection to the marque,” he says, “or a very specific body, or a particularly great history. It’s always a lot more interesting for the automotive world, the media and the concours judges to have something they haven’t seen before, or have only read about.”

One example is a 1929 Lagonda 2.0-litre that AKVR is currently working on. “It has files and files of history, even down to the receipts for the scarves the drivers bought on their way to competing at Le Mans,” he says. “This kind of story draws people in and encourages a good result.”

Looking to the future, Andrew sees 1980s and 1990s cars gaining in popularity, which will lead to much broader concours events. However, he believes that people will continue to appreciate pre-war cars, and classics in general. “It’s very easy to buy a brand-new Ferrari, but if you go to somewhere like Mayfair, everyone’s got one,” he smiles. “However, if you drive through it in a Bentley 3 Litre, you’ll get far more attention. You’re not following a trend, and that’s a cool thing.” www.akvr.com

“THIS IS A STORY I DON’T OFTEN GET THE CHANCE TO tell, but it’s how things came about,” says Gordon McCall. “In 2002 I sat down with one of my oldest friends, Sir Michael Kadoorie, who’s chairman of the parent company that owns Quail Lodge, with an idea. I said: ‘Michael, I’m seeing something [an event] that’s as focused on the people as it is on the cars.’”

The result of that conversation was The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering – now an annual Monterey Car Week staple that’s so in demand, would-be visitors enter a ballot for tickets every year.

When Gordon co-founded The Quail, he was already running an informal evening event at Monterey Jet Center – McCall’s Motorworks Revival – and had been a regular visitor to Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance from his teens, as a natural progression from a childhood fascination with cars.

“I’ve always had an interest in cars. I lost my dad when I was eight; he was 39, so I can’t say I got it from him, but my mom always kept me in little Corgi and Matchbox toys. And so I’ve been fiddling with cars my entire life – and motorcycles, too. I started as a volunteer at Pebble Beach when I was going to Carmel High School.

Chris Bock, who is now chief judge, was a friend, and he said: ‘Hey, I could use a hand with the field.’ This was in the mid-’70s. So I helped, starting to park cars, and that got me into the concours world at a young age, when I barely had a driver’s licence.”

“But after 28 years of going to Pebble Beach – and this is with no disrespect whatsoever to Pebble; it’s the finest concours in the world – I started to see a bit of the fun going away from not the spectators or the guests, but the car owners. I noticed a lot of them didn’t even know how to start their own cars. They had their handlers doing it. This was obviously before Craig Davis started the Pebble Beach Tour, and it’s changed a lot since then.

I just thought, there are so many uptight people wearing blue blazers. What’s wrong with this picture?”

So Gordon’s idea was to create essentially a larger, daytime version of what he was doing at the Jet Center.

Not with the aviation side, but focusing more on the social aspect of the event – and the obvious partner was Sir Michael Kadoorie’s Peninsula Hotels group, which is so known for its hospitality.

“That’s how it started,” says Gordon. “His response was that it had to make business sense, of course. So 2003 was our first year of The Quail. I ended up bringing a lot of my resources and partnerships from the Jet Center, such as Bentley.”

He also brought in Bonhams, which had already been running a

sale at Quail Lodge, but without a partner event – even though he was working for Christie’s at the time: “I brought the partners with me to ‘seed’ The Quail. Those first few years were pretty sleepy, but that was by design. We wanted to inject more of a lifestyle approach with very interesting cars and all-inclusive entry. That used to drive me crazy with concours: that wristband battle we all get into. Do you have the proper wristband? Can you use the loo in the building? Or do you have to use the Portaloo? I thought, how come everybody can’t be a VIP? And so we’ve always been an all-inclusive ticket. Yes, the price has gone up, but so has the demand, as well as the delivery of what people are expecting.”

What also made The Quail different was the peer-to-peer judging of the collector cars, and the ever-growing number of manufacturers launching their new models at the event: “We curated things on the front end, and that’s what enabled us to not have any judges. That’s twofold: it’s out of respect to Pebble Beach. If you want your car judged, that’s what Pebble’s for. And there’s something infectious about an event where you don’t have to pop the hood, roll out the tool kit and show the date codes on everything. We kept it light in that department, yet it’s still very prestigious to get an award at The Quail, because you’re being judged by your fellow enthusiasts.”

He continues: “I look at the launches and the long-time partnerships we have; these companies are with us because they’re doing business. We do our best to bring the right people to the table to witness their wares. And it just works – but for that, we need to constantly be innovating.

“It’s a little self aggrandising but I look at what I did 21 years ago by having a supercar class. People thought I was crazy: ‘Supercars at a concours!’ Well, wait, let’s back up. It’s not a concours.

When I named the event, I specifically called it A Motorsports Gathering to avoid the concours comparison. I’m a car guy. I kind of knew what was coming with the whole supercar thing, and I wanted to be able to attract the next generation. You can’t do that with, typically, cars of the 1930s-50s. It’s not even supercars anymore.

It’s hypercars, or whatever the next thing is.

“And now we’ve got 21 events in the can. I continue as the director of motor sports, responsible for the 200plus cars. There really isn’t another show like it, but the credit belongs to the Peninsula Signature Events team. I’m just the lucky car and bike guy who goes to weekly meetings. I’m an ideas person. But the logistics, the operations, that’s all them.”

FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF THE previous edition, the latest Cavallino Classic Middle East coincided once again with the final Formula 1 race of the season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Staged at Casa Ferrari only a few hundred metres from the Yas Marina Circuit, the event featured 37 participating cars, with a further 11 Ferraris also on display.

During the ceremony on the Saturday, two Best of Show prizes were awarded by the international jury, chaired by Emiliano Torkar: one to the most appealing Gran Turismo car and one to the finest Ferrari Classiche Certified example. The Best of Show – Gran Turismo went to the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale owned by the Heinecke Family Collection. This model, no. 9653, is one of just five examples of the 330 GTC Speciale ever built, and the only one in Azzurro Aurora. It was delivered new to US heart surgeon Dr Michael DeBakey right after being exhibited at the 1967 Geneva Salon as show car.

Best of Show – Ferrari Classiche Certified was awarded to the 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ owned by Jan Sandmann. The car, no. 13465, sports the desirable plexiglass headlight covers, and although it was originally delivered to an Italian gentleman, it found its way to Japan in the early 1980s.

In the early 2000s it was acquired by Japanese publisher Kenji Sasamoto, who sent the car to Ferrari Classiche for an extensive restoration. Today, this Daytona resides in Dubai.

On Sunday, the final day of the event, the public voted for its favourite car, with the award going to the 1981 Ferrari 512 BB owned by Talal Al Rajab.

“This was an incredibly successful third edition with a great line-up of cars almost from all decades, also sent from Europe and the US, with a solid presence of amazing youngtimers,” said Luigi Orlandini, the chairman and CEO of the Cavallino Classic.

BEST OF SHOW GRAN TURISMO 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Ghia (Dennis and Susan Garrity).

ORGANISED BY CANOSSA EVENTS, and held annually in the opulent grounds of The Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Florida, the Cavallino Classic is regarded as the world’s foremost Ferrari concours.

Judging by this year’s line-up of exceptional vehicles, it’s easy to see why.

“We are honoured to carry forward the 46-year journey of Cavallino magazine and the 33-year tradition of the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic,” said Cavallino CEO Luigi Orlandi. “These two initiatives have significantly contributed to preserving and restoring Ferraris of all periods in America.”

Best of Show Gran Turismo was awarded to Dennis and Susan Garrity’s 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Ghia EL, chassis 0191. Featuring one-off coachwork by Ghia, it originally served as Ferrari’s factory show car for the 1952 Paris Auto Salon, before being acquired by Latin American politician Juan Perón.

Best of Show Competizione went to the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM (chassis 6053), owned by Chris and Ann Cox. Chassis 6053 raced at the Le Mans 24 Hours and Daytona 24 Hours in period, and was restored to factory specifications by Ferrari Classiche in 2021.

Brian Ross’ 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione (chassis 09063) won Best of Show Classiche Certified. The stunning alloy-bodied car was sold new to legendary Mexican racing driver Pedro Rodríguez by Luigi Chinetti, and boasts impressive motor sport provenance, with entries in the Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring 12 Hours. It was fully restored in the 1990s by Cognolato and Michelotto, and was previously owned by Bernie Ecclestone.

THIS YEAR’S CONCOURS IN THE Hills, the tenth edition of the event billed as the ‘Greatest Car Show on Grass’, featured more than 1000 vehicles including contemporary and classic race cars, foreign and domestic highperformance exotics, muscle cars, sports cars, hot rods, motorcycles, and military vehicles and helicopters.

The cars come from all over Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico to participate in an event that is also supported by the leading car clubs of Arizona. As a free, family-friendly event, it’s a huge draw for spectators, too – more than 40,000 came along in 2024, raising significant sums ($1.6m since 2018) in donations for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and its Hope Fund.

Besides all the great cars on display, there were more than 100 dealer and aftermarket exhibitor tents, plus a large number of refreshment trucks, while winners of the various raffles took home some great prizes, courtesy of Xtreme Experience and Phoenix Raceway.

The big winner, though, was John Rao, whose 2020 McLaren Speedtail was awarded Best of Show. The award for Best Domestic vehicle went to a 1955 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air owned by John Goss; Best Import was won by Tom Frick’s 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. An early-2000s Swift 014 Formula Atlantic was judged Best Race Car, and the highly competitive award for Best Car Club Display went to the home team for once, the Fountain Hills Auto Club.

AFTER COVID AND UNSEASONAL inclement weather in Auckland, the Classic Cover Ellerslie Car Show – New Zealand’s premier classic car event – returned to its rightful place in the calendar on the second Sunday of February in 2024.

Pent-up demand saw record crowds and a record number of car clubs attending: 88 in all. As well as displaying up to eight cars per club, all had the opportunity to enter the various Concours events: Teams (for pairs of club cars), Masters (for individual club cars), Survivors (for unrestored cars), 50/50/50 (cars and owners under 50 years old and a maximum of NZ$50,000 having been spent on the competing car) and, for the first time, a Modified Class.

The Ellerslie racecourse proved a fitting venue for the Auckland Mustang Owners Club to pull off the notable trifecta of the Teams Shield, the Masters Class and Best In Show for Shane McCallum’s Mustang.

The Survivors Class was won by a 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau, the 50/50/50 Class by an Audi RS5, the Modified Class by a Mazda RX3 and the Meguiar’s People’s Choice by a Fiat 131R. The Military Vehicles Club took out the first prize for the Club Display competition.

The Classic Cover Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Elegance will return on February 9, 2025 with this year’s triumphant Auckland Mustang Owners Club taking on hosting duties.

Among the entries in the Masters Class was Andrew Cunningham’s Ferrari 250 GT.

A distinguished evaluation panel, led by head judge Sandra Button – chairperson of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance – included high-profile automotive connoisseurs and industry experts such as HRH Prince Michael of Kent, Peter Stevens, William E ‘Chip’ Connor II and Jacky Ickx, to name but a few. Taking the Best of Show Automobiles title was the 1939 Lagonda V12 Drophead Coupé of Keith Bowley and Nishant Doosa, while Madan Mohan’s 1925 New Hudson 499cc TT Sports was judged Best of Show in the Motorcycles category.

Adding regal flair, the event, expertly convened by Simon Kidston, featured cars from various royal garages, such as Udaipur, Jodhpur, Gondal, Tehri-Garhwal and Baroda.

A DIVERSE SELECTION OF MORE than 75 collector cars assembled for the sixth annual Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance on March 1-3, 2024. Held at historic Cockatoo Island for the first time, this year presented a number of new logistical challenges, none greater than ferrying all the automobiles across the Parramatta river.

The vehicles, ranging from a 1920 Ford Model T Coupé to a 2022 McLaren Elva, vied for the coveted Best in Show prizes across eight classes. Highlights included a 1945 Bugatti Type 57, 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Coupé, 2015 McLaren P1, 1991 Lamborghini Diablo, 1951 Porsche 356 Cabriolet and three Ferrari Dino 246 GTs. The best cars by class and eight special prizes were announced during a gala dinner at Luke Mangan’s Glass Restaurant at The Hilton in Sydney. An authoritative international jury, led by Alfa Romeo expert and vice-president of the Registro Internazionale Touring Superleggera, Alessandra Giorgetti, crowned the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM as the Best in Show post-war car, while a 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II took the Best in Show pre-war prize.

Two further prizes, for Ladies’ Choice and People’s Choice, were announced on Sunday, when the Ferrari 250 LM also bagged the People’s Choice award.

Ladies’ Choice went to a 1951 Porsche 356 Split Window Cabriolet – the first ever right-hand-drive Porsche built.

Event founder and curator James Nicholls said this year’s Ampol Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance had attracted more than 1400 motoring and haute lifestyle enthusiasts and was a sold-out success. Plans for an even better event in 2025 are well under way.

THE 29TH AMELIA ISLAND Concours d’Elegance saw a record 27,000 visitors, two global vehicle debuts, several new auction records, incredible show field displays on Saturday and Sunday, and $185,000 raised for its chosen charities.

While The Amelia runs over several days, it’s Saturday’s RADwood array of modern classics and its huge Cars & Community show, along with Sunday’s more traditional Concours d’Elegance that really pull in the crowds. In 2024 there was plenty to see, including the largest-ever gathering of Ruf cars and a wonderful line-up of Ferrari 250 road and race machinery. In all, there were 32 classes, as varied as Cars of the Barn Find Hunter, Cars of Bryan Fuller, 100th Anniversary of Bugatti Grand Prix Cars and Indy Legends. The Japanese Performance Cars of the ’90s proved highly popular, along with the eye-catching Cars of Pikes Peak.

Best in Show, Concours de Sport was awarded to the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO shown by David MacNeil, with a 1947 Delahaye 135MS Narwal Cabriolet – the 1947 Paris Auto Salon show car – taking Best in Show.

With 250 RADwood vehicles, 375 for Cars & Community and 285 in the Concours d’Elegance, there was no shortage of automotive treasures on display. The striking visitor numbers were an impressive demonstration of The Amelia’s continued, and growing, appeal. Next year’s 30th anniversary event promises to be even more special.

Saturday’s Tour d’Elegance encompassed an Italian-style Mille Miglia parade route through the scenic roads of Rancho Santa Fe, culminating with a white linen lunch in the sand at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis club. This was followed by Porsches on Prospect, a

free event in the centre of La Jolla village that saw more than 75 Porsches take part.

Sunday was all about the concours, however, where a 1934 Packard Twelve owned by the William Lyon family took Best in Show. A 1941 Mercedes-Benz Model 770K – another Lyon family car – took the honours in both the Pre-War and American Elegance of the 1920s and ’30s Open classes.

Jonathan Segal’s 1956 Maserati A6G Zagato won both the Most Outstanding Post-War Award and the European Closed Sports Cars of the 1950s and 1960s class. People’s Choice went to Dennis McFarlane’s 1958 Corvette, while Doug DeMuro took home the Chuck Spielman Preservation Award for his 1983 Lamborghini Countach.

Over 125 cars from Europe, the US and Japan lined up at La Jolla Cove.

BEST OF SHOW GRAN TURISMO 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB4 (Ing. Piero Ferrari).

THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE Cavallino Classic Modena paid tribute to Enzo Ferrari, bringing a curated selection of 30 Prancing Horses to the historic park of the city’s Casa Maria Luigia. The vehicles vying for the Pininfarina-designed silverware included road and racing models built throughout the course of Ferrari’s 84-year history.

Significantly, members of the Ferrari family were in attendance, including Piero, daughter Antonella and grandchildren Enzo and Piero. Among the important guests were former Scuderia Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, Duccio Lopresto of RM Sotheby’s and the head of Ferrari Classiche, Andrea Modena.

A highly original and unrestored 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB4 (chassis no. 14405) claimed the coveted Best of Show Gran Turismo award. The Best of Show Competizione honour went to the 1954 Ferrari 250 Monza (0466M) that won on its competition debut at the Hyères 12 Hours with Maurice Trintignant and Luigi Piotti at the wheel. The Best of Show Ferrari Classiche Certified award was bestowed upon an immaculate 1997 Ferrari F50 (chassis 107125). The 60th anniversary of the 275 was celebrated with a special class this year, won by a 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS (07513), and other milestone entries included a Ferrari Testarossa and a pair of 288 GTOs – both models marking their 40th anniversaries in 2024.

The event also saw a parade of Ferraris tour the roads of Modena, stopping off at Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace.

The following day, the Ferraris traced the test drivers’ routes to Maranello, before ending their journey at Casa Canossa for Michelin-starred cuisine.

HELD IN THE PICTURESQUE CITY of Lugano’s Via Nassa and surrounding piazzas, this year’s edition of Lugano Elegance brought together classic car enthusiasts, collectors and experts from around the world to admire an exquisite selection of rare vehicles of considerable historical significance. More than 50 cars across ten specially curated classes competed for the Best of Show trophy, an exclusive creation of world renowned designer Marco Pagot.

Three exceptional finalists were selected, including a 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 MM Graber Cabriolet shown

by Matthias Metz, and Fritz Burkard’s 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Ghia Cabriolet.

However, it was the 1927 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8AS Roadster by Fleetwood of Nick and Shelley Schorsch that captured

the attention of judges and participants with its sporty elegance and exceptional condition. This car was originally commissioned by film icon Rudolph Valentino, though he died before its completion. Unsurprisingly, it also won the Pre-War Sports class.

In the special anniversary-celebrating 70 Years of Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé class, Eddy Leysmanns’ 1955 Gullwing emerged as the winner.

Claudio Mosconi, president of the Lugano Elegance organising committee, said: “We have managed to bring extremely important classic cars to Lugano, for the Lugano public and for the whole region. It is a success that we were able to show these works of art on four wheels for free and we are looking forward to Lugano Elegance 2025!”

Not all Ferraris are red: 275 GTB stars in a Lugano line-up.

THE THIRD EDITION OF THE Concours on Savile Row saw London’s most famous tailoring street lined with incredible cars and bikes ranging from a 1907 Mercedes 75 PS Spider to the global debut of the Callum Skye EV. The tailors, shoemakers and shops opened their doors to visitors and VIPs and put on special displays, demonstrations and talks, while outside, personalities from the car, tailoring and art worlds took to the stage, in between live-music sessions.

Two well-attended and high-interest seminars were held at the Royal Academy of Arts, the first on restoration and preservation in the art, automotive and tailoring worlds, and the second on the future of fuel and the road to net zero.

Gieves & Hawkes showcased a Spitfire

fighter ’plane fuselage, while Holland & Sherry showed a bespoke J40 pedal car created with Austin Pedal Cars. Henry Poole and Mercedes-Benz Classic hosted a Craft of the Gullwing display that showcased disassembled elements of the legendary car. Other highlights included a Joseph Cheaney & Sons shoe-making demonstration inside JP Hackett, men’s grooming services by barber Truefitt & Hill, bespoke cutting displays at Dege & Skinner, English sparkling wine tasting in the Nyetimber Routemaster bus – and much more.

A 1995 McLaren F1 formerly owned

by Michael Andretti was deemed Best in Show by the Hagerty Youth Judging students, while a 1956 Ferrari 500 TR was the People’s Choice.

THE GRAND HOTEL VILLA D’ESTE on the shores of Lake Como played host once again to a gathering of many of the world’s important collectors and their incredibly rare machines for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

This year delivered a few surprises, the first being the winner of the Coppa d’Oro Villa d’Este. Selected digitally by public referendum, and therefore likely indicative of a growing appreciation for younger classics, the trophy went to a 1995 McLaren F1. The second surprise came from the expert international jury who, after careful consideration of the 51 participating cars, singled out a preservation class Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 belonging to the HM Collection from Belgium as Best of Show.

Billed as il Festivale, and held in the park at Villa Erba, Concorso d´Eleganza’s public day is a car lover’s dream. This year, around 12,000 enthusiasts wandered through the various displays of stunning collector cars, competition machines, concepts and motorcycles, which also included a special tribute to the late, great Marcello Gandini. A day that was full of highlights concluded with a spectacular parade of all the historic cars competing in the eight award classes and the main prizegiving ceremony.

Lord Bamford’s 1933 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Phantom II Continental won the special class honouring the 120th anniversary of Rolls-Royce, while a 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Berlinetta owned

by Roberto Quiroz took top honours in the Maserati at 110 class.

CAR-LOVING FANS GATHERED AT the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park for the much-anticipated 28th Greenwich Concours where they were treated to a stunningly diverse display of more than 300 classic and contemporary American and European vehicles. As one of the top automotive events in the country, the three-day Greenwich Concours draws renowned automobile collectors and luminaries from all across the US. “We’re thrilled with the quality of cars and the number of people that came.

These events are what the car culture is all about and we’re honoured to be here,” said event organising chairman and Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty.

Top honours in this year’s Greenwich Concours d’Elegance went to Leigh Brent’s 1931 Cadillac 452A V16 AllWeather Phaeton by Fleetwood, while Tim McMann’s custom 1957 Chevrolet 210 ‘El Capitola’ was named Best of Show in the Concours de Sport – a separate concours for all cars that epitomise style, performance and innovation. El Capitola was the last car that legendary customiser Sam Barris completed before leaving the industry behind in 1960.

“The custom, Barris-designed 1957 Chevrolet 210 and elegant 1931 Cadillac 452A celebrate not only the quality of cars in the region, but the diversity of cars as well,” said Hagerty. “We are tremendously grateful for the support of our partners, sponsors, volunteers, judges and attendees who made this year’s event a success.”

STARTED IN 2017, THE VALLETTA Concours is known as ‘The Concours d’Elegance of the Mediterranean’, a freeto-attend event in the heart of Malta’s 16th century baroque capital.

This year’s 65-strong contingent of cars from both local and international collectors delighted the many thousands of visitors, while the high standard of entries ensured the 20-member jury had no easy task deciding on the winners.

In the end, Yohan Poonawalla’s 1928 Rolls-Royce Sports Phantom Prototype 17EX came out on top, winning Best in Show, the Elegance Class, and the RollsRoyce Award. The ex-Maharaja Bahador of Jammu and Kashmir car was making its first public appearance since its purchase by renowned Indian collector and Rolls-Royce enthusiast Poonawalla.

Emmanuel Darmanin’s 1935 Rover 14 Sports Saloon won the Pre-War Class and was runner-up for Best in Show.

Other big winners in 2024 included several Porsches entered from the extensive collection of local Maltese architect Chris Cachia, plus an ex-Mille Miglia 1951 Fiat Zagato 750 GT Derivata MM, owned by Japanese enthusiast Hidetomo Kimura but kept in Italy. The little Fiat won Best Historic Car Award, the LESA Award and the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) Award.

BEST IN SHOW 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30 supercharged prototype. Also won Purple Reign.

Location Honourable Artillery Company, London, UK Organiser Thorough Events Limited Chairman Peter Read Head judge Peter Read Judging process Formally judged by a panel of automotive industry experts Attendance figures 10,160 Marques celebrated McLaren, Jaguar E-type, Zagato, Corvette Next year June 3-5, 2025 Website londonconcours.co.uk

THE LONDON CONCOURS – THE eighth edition of the Capital’s ultimate summer automotive garden party – crowned its Best in Show winner in front of a record crowd. An ultra-rare 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30 prototype came out on top in a field of over 80 exquisite motor cars, from bluechip classics to modern day hypercars and motor sport legends.

The specially developed, 634bhp supercharged V12-engined prototype Diablo was conceived by the team at Lamborghini Hoecker in Landau, Germany, in collaboration with the Lamborghini factory. One of the most potent (and most purple) Diablos ever created, this one-of-a-kind automotive masterpiece was a very worthy winner.

Elsewhere, the Chairman’s Award went to an oh-so-’70s Formula 1 car: the Penthouse sponsored Hesketh 308E. Other classes with awards included the Legendary V12s category; a class celebrating British racing heroes from 1960 onwards; and a retrospective for the wonderful creations of Zagato.

Andrew Evans, London Concours director, said: “We’re in the privileged position of having already established the London Concours as a must-attend event in the summer calendar, but we never rest on our laurels. A rotating selection of automotive celebrations, in addition to nine classes and a live Lifestyle Auction by Iconic Auctioneers, drew in more visitors to the London Concours than ever before.”

A great event in one of the world’s greatest cities – London.

CELEBRATING ITS 46TH YEAR IN grand style, the Cincinnati Concours d’Elegance had something for everyone, from extremely rare Duesenbergs and an amazing GTP-era racing car to a spectacular selection of Ferrari road cars (including a NART Spider) and even one of the Welsh-built Gilberns. Almost 200 cars were on display, many celebrating Italian style – this year’s special theme – while the Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg marques were honoured with their own class.

A 60th anniversary Ford Mustang display featured rare examples from almost every era of the sports car stalwart, including Shelbys, the 1979 Daytona prototype and a rare Saleen SSC. With 23 classes, 25 specialty awards and two Best of Show prizes up for grabs, competition was fierce. In the end, a 1928 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS Boat-tail Convertible Coupé owned by noted collector Peter T Boyle took the William K Victor Best of Show Concours d’Elegance title, while the Roy O Sweeney Best of Show Esprit de Sport award was won by the 1935 Duesenberg Model SJ ‘Mormon Meteor’ owned by The Auto Place.

David and Lori Wathen’s 1961 Maserati Vignale Spyder won Best of Theme: Celebrating Italian Style, while the People’s Choice was awarded to a 1956 Packard Caribbean Hardtop owned

by Charles Roberts.

From a 1911 Oldsmobile Limited and a 1967 Amphicar Model 770 Convertible to a 2021 Ferrari Monza SP2, the list of winners underscores the diversity of a concours voted the Best Festival in 2024’s Best of the East competition.

e were so proud to be on the banks of Lake Como at Villa d’Este to witness the Figoni 8C Spider win Best of Show – becoming the first ever preservation car to do so.

Amongst the greatest cars we have ever sold, and certainly one of our favourites, the one-off short chassis Figoni spider had four years of light competition in France and Austria before finding her resting place of 77 years with a young 21-year-old naval graduate.

Incomparably preserved, the 8C was rediscovered by experts in 2014 still with her then 98-year old owner. Through Fiskens she now joins her next owner, also in his 20s who will cherish and protect her for another lifetime! From one young custodian to the next.

It has been our utmost privilege to have the Figoni here with us at Fiskens and after her record-breaking nomination at Pebble Beach last year, we are so proud she has been given the ultimate accolade she deserves!

THE EIGHTH EDITION OF THE Concours d’Elégance Suisse, the automotive spectacle celebrating 100 years of style, design and innovation, was held at the magnificent Château de Coppet. Each year the Concours pays tribute to a master of design and style of the 20th century. In 2024, the event’s Design Pavilion showcased the genius of Flaminio Bertoni with several displays dedicated to his four Citroën masterpieces: the Traction Avant, the 2CV, the DS and the Ami 6. In addition, author and collector Olivier de Serres shared anecdotes and historical facts relating to Bertoni’s inspiring career, at conferences held across the weekend.

Special concours classes this year included one dedicated to Flaminio Bertoni, two celebrating 90 years of the Citroën Traction, and a further two in honour of Maserati’s 110th anniversary.

A wonderful 1957 Citroën DS 19 from the collection of José Dula won the Bertoni class; Thierry Dehaeck’s 1971 Quattroporte prototipo Frua placed first in the Maserati 110th Anniversary – Quattroporte category; and an exceptional, privately shown 1953 Citroën Traction Avant 15/6 cabriolet Langenthal took the Citroën Traction – Swiss Coachbuilders class win.

In total, 14 class winners were announced at the awards ceremony, along with several special trophies and the event’s traditional Best of Show and Best of Sound awards, which this year went to William E Heinecke’s stunning 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Speciale Aerodinamico Pininfarina and the Mecanic Gallery’s 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi Spyder Vignale, respectively.

A 1935 SS CARS SS1 OWNED BY Eduardo Zavala took Best in Show at the Seventh Annual Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance. The SS1 model was the first car designed by Sir William Lyons for his SS Cars business, which he renamed Jaguar after the Second World War. Originally owned by Argentinian tango performer Ada Falcon, this SS1 spent its first 80 years in Buenos Aires.

Another big winner was the 1952 Jaguar C-type XKC-034 owned by Thomas Jaycox, which won the Dr Fred Simeone Heart of a Champion Award for most original race car.

The weekend began with a fundraising gala for nearly 200 guests on Saturday evening. The winning bids from silent and live auctions, benefiting Cool Cars

for Kids and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, raised nearly $30,000.

A panel of experts comprising former Jaguar of North America president Mike Dale, Jaguar collector/restorer Dean Cusano, and Group 44 Jaguar racing driver Chip Robinson discussed Jaguar’s history on stage during the Concours.

Historian Harry Hurst chaired the discussion, which was joined virtually by former managing director of Tom Walkinshaw Racing Tony Dowe, Group 44’s Bob Tullius, and author Neil Smith.

“This year’s Concours was a resounding success, both in terms of attendance and the number of amazing cars at all levels,” said Ian Krantz, MD, paediatrician and geneticist, and Cool Cars for Kids founder.

Philadelphia’s seventh concours featured a well-attended, Jaguar-themed panel discussion.

That evening, judges and guests gathered for the annual Start Your Engines kick-off party held at an exclusive, private vintage car club located in a historic building in Burlingame.

THIS YEAR’S HEVENINGHAM Concours attracted 10,000 visitors along with a broad selection of cars, ranging from an 1899 Panhard et Levassor to a 2024 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, plus endurance racing machines and rally stars. An expert panel of judges included legendary car designers Peter Stevens and Tony Hatter, racing driver Marino Franchitti and Prodrive chairman David Richards.

A 1961 Jaguar E-type Series 1 Roadster, formerly owned by John Coombs and loaned to Jim Clark, won Best in Show.

As well as legendary road cars, several competition icons were represented on the terraced lawns, from a 1932 Alfa Romeo Tipo B Monoposto that raced in the Indy 500 five times, and a Jean

Behra-driven 1956 Maserati 250F that collected four podiums in five rounds of the 1956 Formula 1 World Championship, to the current Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 WRC – winner of the superbly named Take Me Ohm class.

Another highlight of the competition cars was a 1968 Alpine A220 owned by Jakub Pietrzak. One of just five built, it was Alpine’s Works entry at the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours and is the only A220 registered for road use. The most impressive car on Horsepower Hill was judged to be the 2019 Ferrari SF90, alongside the 1934 Bentley BarnatoHassan Special in the ‘Jalopies’ category.

Top-tier entries and a relaxed atmosphere at this beautiful location made for a truly memorable event.

The terraces of Heveningham Hall’s grounds are perfect for a concours display.

THE FIRST-EVER EDITION OF THE Aurora Scandinavian Concours was a resounding success, welcoming over 10,000 guests, including 1100 young car enthusiasts aged 12 to 17, and thousands who lined the streets of Båstad ahead of the Tour d’Elegance. Attendees were thrilled by an extraordinary collection of cars, from pre-war icons to the latest hypercars, with around 350 vehicles showcased across various categories.

The Aurora was also proud to welcome HRH Prince Carl Philip and HRH Princess Sofia of Sweden. The Black Tie Dinner Gala raised significant funds for Project Playground, a foundation supporting vulnerable youth.

The Aurora Showfield created a space for guests to proudly display their beloved vehicles to fellow enthusiasts, while the Special Car Exhibition featured Koenigsegg, Lotus, HWA, Cyan, ChomeCars, Artcurial, SBX Cars, Tuthill, and an array of flying and movie cars.

Main event partner BMW Group displayed more than 20 cars, including its Vision Neue Klasse concept vehicles.

The Aurora Concours presented 69 exceptional cars, valued at over €200 million, divided into Hypercar Concours and Classic Car Concours. Nine prestigious awards were given, including five Decade awards and two Best of Show titles. The big winner on the day was Corrado Lopresto. Not only did his 1955 Lancia Florida Coupé take Best of Show in the Classic Car Concours, but he also received the Aurora Collector’s Award. Among the judges were Zagato chief designer Norihiko Harada, former F1 driver and artist Stefan Johansson, and JP Rathgen of Classic Driver.

With hugely positive feedback from guests, entrants, exhibitors and partners, the Aurora looks set to establish itself as the new go-to European Concours.

FOR THE 28TH RUNNING OF THE Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance, the Cartier Lawn was graced with almost 50 remarkable vehicles, each an outstanding representation of one of seven distinctive classes.

This year, the Concours honoured a diverse spread of machinery from Pagani Zonda and Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost to beach cars and tractors made by road car brands. There was also a selection of Marcello Gandini’s works over two classes, alongside a celebration of 90 years of the Bugatti Type 57.

A panel of 12 celebrity judges – Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Nicholas Foulkes, Hiroshi Fujiwara, David Gandy, Kenya Hunt, Mai Ikuzawa, Laura Kukuk, Marc Newson CBE, Marek Reichman,

Charlotte Stockdale, Adrian van Hooydonk and Michael Ward – had the unenviable task of selecting a winner for each of the seven classes. However, the 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Corsica entered

by Lord Bamford emerged as the 2024 Cartier Style et Luxe Best of Show.

Steven Bell’s 1975 ‘Periscopio’ Countach took the honours in the class that was appropriately named Jaw Droppers and Door Stoppers – Gandini’s Lamborghinis, while a Bugatti Atalante belonging to Fritz Burkard won Types of Jean-ius – Bugatti’s 57 Varieties.

As ever, the Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance’s celebration of elegance and design offered a delightfully tranquil moment of respite from the frenzy of hillclimb competition.

Cars by fabled designer Marcello Gandini were celebrated in two classes.

SET ON THE SHORE OF LAKE Tegernsee in Bavaria, and organised by the team behind Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace, the inaugural Concours of Elegance Germany showcased a superb array of cars from the world’s foremost collectors, spanning automotive history from the brilliant Bugatti Type 35 to the striking 2023 Alfa Romeo Zagato SWB. The overall Best of Show, as decided by the other entrants, was the sublime 1939 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet. Beautiful, rare and exotic, it was a universally appreciated winner.

The rarefied main concours selection was complemented by a 70th anniversary Mercedes-Benz Gullwing display and a Junior Concours. The Thirty Under 30

Concours celebrated the passion of younger enthusiasts and was won by a BMW Isetta bubble car.

Inspired by the iconic Bertha Benz, the well-supported Ladies’ Concours featured 15 rare vehicles, all proudly owned by women, including a Bugatti Type 57C. The spoils went to a 1977 Porsche 911 with an interesting history.

Official auction partner RM Sotheby’s hosted a sale at Gut Kaltenbrunn. Lots included a meticulously restored 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C by Scaglietti, a 2022 Ruf SCR, and a 1949 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupé.

Taking place in a calendar ‘sweet spot’, the event drew nearly 4500 visitors over the weekend – a superb achievement for a first-time concours.

The historic Gut Kaltenbrunn Estate courtyard proved an idyllic stage for a stunning display of rare classics.

HELD IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST on a Wednesday at the Bürkliplatz near the financial district, the Zürich Classic Car Award may be an unusual concours in some ways, but it always puts on an incredible display of cars.

This year, the mix of vehicles ranged from the smallest production car in the world – the Peel – via the most powerful road car of the early 1930s – the Bugatti T50 – to one of the fastest supercars of the 1990s, the Jaguar XJ220.

Around 100 cars competed, and the classes included 110 years of Maserati and 70 years of Mercedes-Benz SL. Sascha Bäggli’s 1951 Bentley MkVI bodied by Facel-Métallon won the PostWar until 1960 class and was also adjudged the overall winner. Originally,

the car belonged to Facel Vega founder Jean Daninos. The interesting and rare 1971 Trident Venturer V8 of Daniel Pfirter found favour with visitors, winning the Audience Award, and Christian Jenny’s completely unrestored SS Jaguar 100 just lost out to a 1938 Packard Super Eight with convertible body by Graber in the Vintage class.

The exquisite Maserati A6 CGS/54 of Gian-Pietro Rosetti won the Maserati class, while a 300 SL Roadster, complete with ultra-rare hardtop, was the clear winner in the special class celebrating 70 years of the SL badge.

For organiser Christoph Lehmann, this 13th edition was the last under his direction. However, he leaves the event in expert hands, its future secure.

CAR ENTHUSIASTS, INDUSTRY figures and other motor sport greats flocked to the 21st annual The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on the pristine greens of The Quail Golf Club. A 1937 Delahaye Type 135 won Best of Show; owned by Sam and Emily Mann, it was originally built as an open-wheel race car to challenge contenders from Mercedes and other European makers.

It was joined by dozens of individual class winners from a wide variety of marques and eras.

Four featured classes celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Koenigsegg, the 50th Anniversary of the Porsche 911 Turbo (930), 100 Years of MG, and World Rally Cars. The Quail also included seven traditional classes that

showcased vehicles from the past and present, as well as futuristic concepts.

Other award winners included Aaron Shelby’s 1949 MG TC, and Buzz and Julia Lynn’s 1963 Jaguar E-type FHC, which each won Spirit of the Quail and the Hagerty Drivers Foundation Award, respectively. In the MG class, Michael Dacre’s 1925 Morris MG 14/28 Bullnose Supersports proved very popular, while Andreas Wuest’s 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Croisette Shooting Brake by Felber, winner of Magneto magazine’s Art of Bespoke Award, turned heads.

“The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is the epicentre of automotive excellence and luxury, and this was the best one yet,” said Kai Lermen, managing director of The Quail Golf Club.

AT THE PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS d’Elegance this year, no fewer than 214 cars from 16 countries pulled onto the competition field, and for the first time in the event’s more than 70-year history, Best of Show was awarded to a preservation car – a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports presented by Fritz Burkard.

While preservation cars have appeared at the event for decades, competing in dedicated classes formally since 2001, in being the first Type 59 built and a rare, multiple Grand Prixwinning factory race car with royal ties that still wears all of its history to this day, the Bugatti clearly stands out as something very special indeed. With this win, Bugatti and Mercedes-Benz are now tied for the most Best of Show awards at Pebble Beach: ten wins each.

This year’s fierce race for Best of Show featured other strong contenders, including the 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Saoutchik Fastback Coupé presented by Robert Kudela; the 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve LeBaron Sport Phaeton presented by Harry Yeaggy, and Phillip Sarofim’s 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero by Bertone, winner in the extraordinary Wedge-Shaped Concepts and Prototypes Early class.

Not just a history-making, star-cargazing day out, the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance also raised more than $3 million for charity.

Plans for the 74th edition, to be held on August 17, 2025, include celebrations for the centennials of Chrysler and Invicta, the creations of Virgil Exner, and the 75th anniversary of Formula 1.

Location Lacy Park, San Marino, California, US Organiser Aaron Weiss Chairman Aaron Weiss Chief judge John Milliken Judging process ICJAG Attendance figures 3000 Marque celebrated Packard Main sponsor Rusnak Auto Group Charities Pasadena Humane, Cancer Support Community of SGV, San Marino Rotary Foundation Next year August 24, 2025 Website sanmarinomotorclassic.com

THE PRESTIGIOUS CONCOURS d’Elegance at the 13th annual San Marino Motor Classic in Lacy Park drew thousands of visitors to its exceptional display of 330 of the finest classic cars.

These were presented in 41 classes that included all the expected pre- and postwar open and closed categories, and American, European and Japanese sports car marques, along with the more unusual Police Cruisers, Station Wagons and European Motor Scooters.

The weekend began with the Symphony of Cars Gala and the Automotive Fine Arts Society exhibit on Saturday. Over 600 guests attended the Gala, in aid of the Cancer Support Community of San Gabriel Valley.

On concours Sunday, the cars were back in the spotlight. This year, the Best of Show award was split two ways, for pre-war and post-war automobiles. The spectacular 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Figoni et Falaschi Cabriolet presented by the Petersen Automotive Museum was declared the Best in Show – PreWar winner, while Rick Principe’s 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS took top honours in the Post-War section.

With so many other star cars on show, including a pack of impressive Packards, it’s hard to single out specific jewels, but the Academy of Art University’s 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Custom LeBaron Phaeton continued its successful concours season, taking the Chairman’s Award on this occasion.

Besides offering food, drinks, art, vendors and a superb line-up of classic cars, the entirely volunteer-run San Marino Motor Classic this year raised almost $440,000 for charity.

BEST OF SHOW

UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, more than 19,000 spectators were captivated by an impressive display of automotive history in the circular baroque gardens at the ASC ClassicGala Schwetzingen 2024 – Germany’s biggest, most traditional, and only Concours d’Elegance held in a palace garden. Nearly 200 historic vehicles, dating from 1885 to 1990, showcased a variety of rare automotive treasures, some appearing in public for the very first time, and judged by a 40-member international jury of experts.

In a departure from tradition this year, there were three top awards. The Best of Show winner was a 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Atalante owned by Albert Wetz.

In addition, the Trophy of the State of Baden-Württemberg was won by an ultra-rare 1952 Veritas Scorpion presented by Wolfgang Niefanger, and the Classic-Gala Grand Prix was awarded to the 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint owned by Ulrich Lüders.

Other event highlights included a special display of 14 Veritas automobiles in front of the Schwetzingen Palace and a parade and grand display of 45 meticulously selected Rolls-Royces spanning the past 120 years. Additional special exhibits honoured themes such as 125 Years of Opel and 70 Years of Mustang, as well as the marques Borgward and MG. Throughout the weekend, visitors enjoyed viewing the classic automobiles in the splendid circular baroque garden, along with live jazz, a broad selection of automotive memorabilia, culinary specialities, and an art exhibition.

As the only independent event of its kind, the Classic-Gala Schwetzingen has further solidified its position among international concours events.

BEST IN SHOW 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Convertible by Inskip.

Lange & Söhne Charity The Prince’s Trust Next year September 5-7, 2025 Website concoursofelegance.co.uk

THE 13TH EDITION OF THE annual Concours of Elegance saw around 15,000 guests enjoy a display of exquisite privately owned road and competition motor cars in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace.

The Best in Show winner, chosen by the Concours car owners themselves, was a sublime 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Convertible by Inskip. Out of 727 Phantom IIIs produced, only a few were made in the USA, including the victorious car, 3CP18.

Elsewhere, there were class awards given for different automotive decades – again voted for by the owners of the cars themselves. Celebrating female car enthusiasts and collectors, the womenonly Levitt Concours was won by a 1924

Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, while The Club Trophy, presented by the Royal Automobile Club, went to an exceptional 1950 Jaguar XK120. The ‘Thirty Under 30’ concours was also a great hit, with an exceptional range of machinery on show. The winner – chosen by automotive expert Francis Bourgeois and viral car design sensation, The Kyza – was a startlingly original 1958 AustinHealey Sprite supercharged rally car.

James Brooks-Ward, Concours of Elegance CEO, said: “Our world-class curatorial team again raised the bar, assembling a range of automotive treasures the likes of which has never been seen in the UK before. 2024’s show is one that will certainly live long in the memory of our guests.”

Fit for a king: Hampton Court Palace is the ne plus ultra of concours venues.

BEST OF SHOW

FOUNDED IN 1997, THE RADNOR Hunt Concours d’Elegance has grown substantially over the years, both in numbers and significance. In 2005, vintage motorcycles were included for the first time, and horse-drawn coaches and carriages were added in 2007.

This year, the 27th edition of the annual Concours featured a show field of 100 exceptional entries and a threeday programme that included a barbecue on Friday night, the Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally, a gala on Saturday including dinner, dancing and silent auction, and, finally, the main Concours d’ Elegance on Sunday.

At the afternoon award ceremony, three Best of Show machines were crowned. Starting with the Classic category, the 1931 Cadillac 452A V16 Convertible Sedan Fleetwood owned by Leigh Brent came out on top. Best of Show Sport went to the 1965 Shelby GT350 R of Irwin Kroiz. Jerry Romano’s 1963 BSA Rocket Gold Star was this year’s two-wheeled winner.

The featured classes for 2024 were Allard Sports and Racing Cars, Pre-War MGs, and Nickel Era Cars (c1912-1929), each won by incredible examples of their respective marques and genres. Apart from the many traditional car classes and special awards, one of the more unusual prizes was the Thorncroft Award for the Best Automobile for an Equestrian, which was won by a delightful 1912 Galloway Auto Transport owned by Jesse Krupinski.

Thoroughly enjoyed by visitors and entrants alike, this year’s Radnor Hunt Concours was another huge success, with proceeds earmarked for two local non-profit organisations: Thorncroft Equestrian Center in Malvern, PA, and the local Boy Scout troops.

Antwerp Concours d’Elegance

ANT W ER P CONCO U R S D ’ EL EG A N C E

AFTER FAIRLY NOMADIC EARLY years, the Antwerp Concours d’Elegance, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, is now very much settled in the beautiful gardens of Kasteel Belvédère in Wijnegem, Antwerp. The event is an intimate gem of a concours, one that never fails to reward its enthusiastic visitors with a great number of star cars and then surprise them with a few amazing rarities – such as the Maserati Quattroporte II by Bertone that featured in the special Tributo Marcello Gandini class. This year the many stars included two special Ferraris: a 1955 250 GT Boano Prototipo and one of only three 166 Inter Cabriolets bodied by Stabilimenti Farina.

It wasn’t just Porsche fans who enjoyed seeing a 1958 Porsche 356 A Coupé ‘Versuchwagen’ and a 1952 Porsche 356 SL Gmünd coupé, a car synonymous with the legendary LiègeRome-Liège Rally. Japan, too, was superbly represented by the increasingly desirable Toyota 2000 GT and its younger TA 64 Celica Homologation competition stablemate.

As for the obscure, look no further than Belgium’s own short-lived Zelensis Coupé Proto from 1957, or the superrare 1928 D’Yrsan Course Compresseur that won the Pre-War Cyclecars & Voiturettes class.

That was just one of almost 20 awards handed out by the members of the expert jury and their teenage counterparts. The Best of Show Expert Jury award went to the 1927 Avions Voisin C11 2-Door Cabriolet ‘Sulky’, while a Bleu over Senape 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 was the teenage jury’s Best of Show winner.

THE CHANTILLYARTS & ELEGANCE Richard Mille returned for 2024 in great form. Blessed with sunny weather, this magnificent concours d’elegance at the Château de Chantilly just outside Paris offered a diverse selection of classic cars and vintage delights, organised with a distinctive French flair.

The action kicked off on Saturday with the Arts & Elegance Tour, which culminated in a gourmet lunch at the Polo d’Apremont. In the afternoon the cars were judged, and in the evening a magnificent masked ball in the historic Château de Chantilly raised anticipation for Sunday’s concours.

More than 28,000 visitors attended, not just to enjoy the cars but also displays of equine agility from Mario Luraschi, sailboats, pétanque, giant chess, flower arranging, horse-drawn carriages and more.

Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille splits its concours winners into three: pre-war, post-war and concept. This year’s pre-war Best of Show winner was a 1928 Bugatti Type 35C from the Vesta Auriga Collection. It was competing in the 100 Years of Bugatti 35 class, which was dedicated to the late Peter Mullin.

The winner of Best of Show Concours d’Etat for post-war cars was an Antembodied, Jacques Saoutchik-designed 1949 Talbot-Lago T26 GS Coupé, while the striking 2023 Lancia Pu+Ra HPE won the prize for concept cars.

The two-day event allows guests to take in the Château’s glorious interiors, purchase exquisite art and appreciate the best that France’s eclectic car club scene has to offer.

THE 10TH ANNUAL COBBLE BEACH Concours d’Elegance saw some of the world’s most significant and historic cars displayed on the 18th fairway of the Cobble Beach golf course along the shoreline of the Georgian Bay. Only 100 owners are invited to show off their rare treasures at this concours, spread across 18 judged classes.

Voted Best of Show was John Shalhoub’s flamboyantly styled 1947 Bentley Mk VI coupé, the only post-war Bentley bodied by Figoni et Falaschi.

The Bentley also won its class and received the Rolling Sculpture Award.

The Most Outstanding Pre-War award went to Brent Merrill for his 1932 Marmon 16-cylinder convertible coupe, one of only 500 made. Vernon Smith,

who trailered his 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible to the event, won the coveted People’s Choice award and also claimed top spot in the Glamour Cars of the Space Age 1950s and ’60s American class.

The Margaret Dunning Spirit of Driving award went to 29-year-old Seamus Hnat for driving his 1914 Ford Model T Touring from the Detroit area, a trip that took six hours, proving that this event is not one to be missed.

Once again concours chairman Rob McLeese, with the aid of around 100 volunteers and Cobble Beach Resort staff members, organised a first-class event which has over the last ten years raised more than $1 million for its appointed charities.

FOR 2024, NETHERLAND’S MOST prestigious Concours d’Elegance found a new home at the centuries-old Landgoed Mariënwaerdt, a majestic, sprawling estate near Beesd. Organised

by Classics at the Palace, the Concours celebrated its 25th anniversary this year with a stunning display of premium historic and classic cars. In all, 95 vehicles competed for top honours in a number of classes ranging from Veteran to Sports Cars of the 1980s, along with special anniversary classes for Packard, Maserati, Facel Vega and the MercedesBenz 300 SL Gullwing.

A renowned international jury headed by Pieter Jan van Zantem selected a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Speciale Aerodinamica as Best of Show.

Unsurprisingly, the sleek Ferrari also

came out on top in the Special Coachwork Post-War class. The event’s group of younger judges handed the Junior Jury Award to an elegant Pinin Farina-designed 1935 Lancia Astura S3 roadster belonging to Piet Janssen.

As before, the Concours formed part of a broader automotive spectacle – now called Wheels Mariënwaerdt – that included aspects such as Pre-War Sprint parades, an exhibitor area, book market and pedal car race. The newly instituted Trial Experience, a race for sporting prewar vehicles around a specially designed circuit, proved a hit with visitors.

The move away from the beautiful but intimate Paleis Soestdijk setting to Mariënwaerdt not only enriches the event but also affords it the opportunity to grow in both scope and significance.

New location at Mariënwaerdt gives this event room to grow.

BATHED IN AUTUMN SUNSHINE, the 2024 Ascona Classic Car Award’s appeal was again underlined by its ideal quayside location on Lake Maggiore and the quality of its entries. A relaxed atmosphere that allowed visitors a high level of interaction with the cars and their owners played a key role, too.

As in previous years, the cars were judged on the Saturday afternoon outside the Hotel Castello del Sole by a team of industry experts headed by Reto Hosig. This was followed by a traditional Ticino dinner with local wines at the Romantik Hotel Castello Seeschloss. On Sunday, the cars were driven a short distance to the quayside for their public display and the award ceremony in front of the Biblioteca Lungolago di Ascona.

With a genuinely eclectic set of rare vehicles, including a lovely 1954 Aston Martin DB2, a Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Graber Cabriolet, several superb Ferraris, a Fiat Abarth Allemano Spider 750 and a Citroën DS 21 Cabriolet, all vying for a limited number of awards, a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Competizione was declared Best of Show.

A 1974 Ferrari 365 GTB/4-A in superb original condition won the 1970-’79 class, along with Best Unrestored Car. A 1935 Lancia Augusta and a 1989 Alfa Romeo SZ were the winners of classes at different ends of the age spectrum.

Not just a car show, the ACCA has become an intimate celebration of automotive heritage and elegance in one of Switzerland’s most scenic locations.

Visitors enjoy Ascona’s superb location on the shore of Lake Maggiore.

FOR 28 CONSECUTIVE YEARS, THE Ironstone Concours d’Elegance has been held on the 1100-acre estate of the Ironstone Vineyards Winery and Historic Museum in Murphys, California, heart of the famous 1849 California Gold Rush. This year, the show again featured around 300 automobiles built up to 1973, including classic, vintage, antique and race cars, plus vintage trailers and commercial/ military vehicles, agricultural engines and a display of modern exotic cars.

Adding to the spectacle, and unique to Ironstone, were pre-1920 race car rides on a dirt track, Amphicar rides in the lake and a race car engine start. New for 2024 were speaker forums, with industry leadership addressing the spectators.

In the battle for concours victory, the 1931 Packard 840 Waterhouse Victoria Convertible of Rob Hilarides took Best of Show and the Packard Automobiles class title. Another double winner was the magnificent 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Custom LeBaron owned by San Francisco’s Academy of Art University, which won its class and was also judged Most Elegant Open Car. Proceeds from the concours benefit Central and Northern California youth in agriculture, notably Future Farmers of America and 4-H, while the non-profit Ironstone Foundation has helped fund scholarship programmes in both California State and Calaveras County.

Over $1,000,000 has been donated since the inaugural event.

THE SECOND EDITION OF THE Concorso d’Eleganza Varignana 1705, hosted at the 18th century Palazzo di Varignana, celebrated the history and excellence of automotive design, showcasing 35 extraordinary cars built before 1973. Each vehicle was specially selected for its historical significance, design and engineering.

A judging panel headed by Stefano Pasini and comprising international industry experts voted a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB, chassis number 08795, as the Best of Show winner. The Ferrari, owned

by Giuseppe Matildi and fresh from a two-and-a-half-year restoration by renowned Ferrari specialist Autofficina Bonini, captivated the judges for its timeless elegance, authenticity and impeccable restoration.

There were exceptional cars in other categories, too. These included a 1925 Bugatti Type 35A, which won the prewar Before the Storm class, a 1950 Alfa Romeo 2500 SS Villa D’Este, winner of the post-war Italian Rebels class, and a 1964 Porsche 904, which took home the title in the category dedicated to German excellence. Winners of the various classes and special awards were all celebrated at a spectacular gala dinner at Palazzo Bentivoglio.

The event was enriched by the unforgettable backdrop of the Bolognese hills and the elegance of the resort, and this successful second edition suggests that the organisers have little reason to doubt that the Concorso d’Eleganza Varignana 1705 will become even more of a key event on the international stage.

Varignana’s select concours is nestled in the rolling hills of Bologna, Italy.

THE PICTURESQUE WATERFRONT lawn of the Kent Island Yacht Club was once again the backdrop for the 17th annual St Michaels Concours d’Elegance on Chesapeake Bay, a grand celebration of motoring excellence including antique and classic yachts on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Apart from the stellar lineup of magnificent automotive machinery, the day’s highlights included locally sourced cuisine, craft libations, vendor tents, live music and awards ceremonies throughout the day.

The Concours featured the debut of a special class of pre-1975 Porsche automobiles, which was won by Bruce and Shelley Menkowitz’s 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster by Reutter, and the return of last year’s world-famous Le Mans and Sebring-winning Corvettes. Chrysler

was celebrated as the Grand Marque of the show to mark its 100th anniversary.

Of the three Pebble Beach awardwinning pre-war motorcars that fought it out in the Pre-War American Classic class, it was David Landow’s 1931 Buick Model 8-96C Convertible Coupe that eventually came up trumps. Best of Show, though, went to an even grander old motor in the splendid shape of the 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50 Roi Des Belges Tourer Barker, which was shown by its owner, Jay Miller.

In showcasing such an artfully curated collection of classic boats and elegant motorcars, St Michael’s – the concours you’re encouraged to visit by boat – continues to create a distinctive and memorable experience for participants and spectators alike.

Classic yachts line the shore, bringing an extra dimension to the concours.

THE 13TH EDITION OF THE Boston Cup attracted around 30,000 enthusiasts from all over the New England region and beyond. The classic car show has matured over the years into a premier automotive event and is the only car show of its calibre in the American North-East.

The location, Boston Common – the oldest public park in America – has a charm all its own, with an added sense of historical significance. Throw warm, sunny weather and great food into the mix, along with around 100 valuable collector cars, and you have all the ingredients for a great day out.

Multi-award winning collector Joe Moccia said: “I have enjoyed many years of this wonderful show and have

often thought that it couldn’t get any better. I was mistaken. This year The Boston Cup was the best yet, with more cars on the field than ever.”

Refreshingly, the classes are kept simple, with cars grouped mostly by nationalities: German, Italian, British, American, and Modern Exotics, with a unique addition called Denton Drives.

Along with Best of Show, two special awards were bestowed this year. One, named after the event’s honouree, automotive celebrity Heather Storm, went to a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. The big winner on the day, though, was a 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT owned by David Piangerelli. A prime example of the first breed of raging bulls, it also won the Italian class.

Among the modern exotics on show was this Dutch-built Spyker C8.

A FANTASTICALLY SUCCESSFUL inaugural ICONS Mallorca has earned this Balearic island a spot on the international map of high-calibre classic car meetings. The event had it all: beautiful cars, rallies, lifestyle fun, an innovative concours, an evening charity gala and a well-attended public day.

With a philosophy built on mobile exhibition and driving dynamics, ICONS offered three rally options: Extravaganza, for super-sports cars and hypercars; On Tour, for classic cars; and La Vitesse, for women-only teams. The drivers spent 2½ days exploring roads on the west and east coasts. The Concours vehicles also took to the racetrack in a dynamic presentation, which was scored by the jury for the Premio Movemiento Award.

The week’s major highlight was the Concours d’Élégance The Grand on the Son Vida golf course near Palma, where 36 carefully curated vehicle icons were presented. In addition to the jury that included industry experts such as Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Urs P Ramseier, Jürgen Lewandowski and esteemed others, a Next Generation jury selected their own class winners.

The expert jury declared Yohan Poonawalla’s 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Experimental ‘17EX’ Best of Show – Pre-War, while the pre-production 1965 ISO Grifo GL365 received the award for Best of Show – Post-War. Featuring rallies, track and lawn concours, an evening reception on a superyacht, rally stops at exclusive wineries, a public promenade parade and much more, the ICONS programme created an unforgettable experience and great anticipation for 2025.

THE 23RD HILTON HEAD ISLAND Concours d’Elegance and Motoring Festival enthralled all who attended.

Held at the picturesque Port Royal Golf Club, this year’s event drew an unprecedented number of attendees.

2024’s honoured marques were RollsRoyce and Bentley, while the Concours also celebrated 60 years of Mustang and the 125th anniversary of Packard.

Concours entries were arranged in 28 classes from Brass Era and Barn Finds to Italian Micro Cars and International Prototypes, with two classes of supercars covering four generations from the 1980s to today. It really was a celebration of automotive excellence; where else would you be able to see Amelia Earhart’s 1937 Cord 812 parked alongside a Lockheed Electra aeroplane?

From an inspirational line-up of almost 200 cars and motorcycles, the impressive jury led by Gerald Greenfield selected the 1911 Oldsmobile Limited Touring Car, displayed by David and Patricia Peeler and the 1957 Ferrari 250 GT TdF shown by Frederick Fischer as, respectively, Concours d’Elegance and Concours de Sport Best of Show winners. Other major awards included the Paul Doerring Founder’s Award, which went to Nicolas Smith’s 1965 Shelby GT350, while the 1929 Ford Model A Roadster of Devon Cole took the People’s Choice Award.

The Hilton Head Island Concours, a dazzling success this year, is all set to raise the bar again in 2025 with a special focus on honoured marque Cadillac and the 100th anniversary of Chrysler.

Two vehicles from the judged Concours d’Elegance category were awarded Best of Show for Pre- and Post-War periods, alongside three honorary Helene recipients. In addition, 20 vehicles were recognised with various other designations.

Best of Show Pre-War was awarded to the 1931 Duesenberg Model J Taper Tail Speedster by Weymann, presented by the General William Lyon family. This 1931 Duesenberg carries a unique ‘Taper Tail’ speedster body designed by Weymann chief designer Gordon Buehrig. Built to

David MacNeil’s recently restored 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta by Scaglietti won Best of Show Post-War. This particular GTO was delivered to French racer Pierre Dumay and finished second in class and fourth overall at the 1963 Le Mans 24 Hours, and went on to win the 1964 Tour de France.

“This year’s Concours at Wynn Las Vegas was absolutely exceptional and attracted more attendees than ever before,” said Brian Gullbrants, COO North America, Wynn Resorts. “We are excited to continue building our event in the years to come, further solidifying Wynn Las Vegas as a premier destination for automotive enthusiasts.”
