Welcome AS YOU GET OLDER, IT SEEMS AS IF TIME SPEEDS UP. WHILE that’s provably untrue, it’s an inescapable notion as we near the end of a fantastic 2025 concours year that feels as if it began just a few weeks ago. It would be physically impossible to attend every event on the increasingly busy calendar, but we certainly did manage to get around the globe – from judging duties at the 21 Gun Salute in India, the London Concours and the second Concours d’Elegance Mariënwaerdt in The Netherlands, to covering the Concorso d’Eleganza Japan, the Cavallino Classic Modena, Salon Privé, the Concours of Elegance Hampton Court and the Monterey Car Week’s customary Quail and Pebble Beach events in the US. While increased concours exposure on social media and YouTube can often give a good idea of the flavour of an event, nothing beats the excitement of the real thing. Whether it’s an obscure rarity, an immaculately restored or preserved icon or a prototype jewel, seeing an incredible car for the first time in the metal is what first fired our automotive passions. And it’s still why we do what we do. Our experiences through the year have left us all in no doubt that the bar is being pushed ever higher and that the list of top-tier events is not only growing but is also diversifying geographically. Exciting new events in Slovakia and Bahrain testify to the scene’s enriched diversity. Wherever you are in the car-loving world, we hope you’ll enjoy paging through this, the seventh edition of The Concours Year, as much as we have enjoyed compiling it. Wayne Batty, editor

20 25 A year that saw the continued evolution of the concours from rare classic car show to luxury automotive experience

WOR D S WAY NE BATTY

2025 HIGHLIG HTS A N D T R EN D S

FROM TOP Pebble Beach, Reverie at The Amelia and the first Concours of Slovakia prove the strength and variety of today’s concours world.

FOLLOWING ON FROM A 2024 SHOW SEASON THAT SAW new additions alongside revitalised long-standing events, the 2025 concours scene continued to expand globally while – for the most part – evolving fairly rapidly into a collection of stillelegant but more exciting and more luxurious experiences. The year had its fair share of impressive debuts, with a good percentage of those held outside the traditional concours powerhouses of Italy, the UK and the US. By no means an exhaustive list, these included the UK’s Royal Automobile Club Concours d’Elegance, the Concours of Slovakia and the Royal Bahrain Concours. Underscoring the notion of a more global wave, the year also saw the successful return of the Concorso d’Eleganza Japan (née Kyoto) after a six-year hiatus. Alongside these new events, many premium but previously ‘under the radar’ gatherings such as the Concorso d’Eleganza Varignana 1705, Concours of Croatia, Concorso di Eleganza e Sportività Città di Trieste and Concurso Elegancia Costa del Sol are now receiving well deserved, wider exposure. Also notable was the successful second staging of ModaMiami, one of the new breed of concours that are showing up many of the more established events in terms of their food, drink and entertainment offering. For those newer events chasing a younger demographic, ‘stuffier’ black-tie gala dinners have been traded for chic fusions of art, design, fashion and gourmet cuisine, while DJs and chilled dance tracks have replaced piped classical music. Not to be outdone, Hagerty-owned and run stalwarts Greenwich Concours and The Amelia this year kicked off their respective weekend festivities with Reverie, a fresh take on the concours opening party. Marketed as “immersive hospitality”, Reverie offered fine culinary pairings, a hosted bar and a lively atmosphere complete with “a DJ spinning smooth rhythms, stylish lounge spaces and an ambiance of effortless sophistication”. It’s all part of a growing trend that’s turning the traditional classic car show into a luxury event by putting as much emphasis on the visitor and guest experience as on the presentation of spectacular cars. Although clearly an apex example, The Bridge is the epitome of a new automotive elegance event. Held in the grounds of the former Bridgehampton Race Circuit near Bridgehampton, New York, the gathering is characterised by a total lack of advertising banners, car info sign boards,

independent food vendors, judges, prizes or even winners. In what may be news to many enthusiasts, 2025 was the ninth edition of The Bridge; yes, the concept has legs. In 2025, the more accessible concours also continued to offer evolved formats, embracing more aspects of automotive culture – witness the rise of the restomod class. And, while the idea of a hypercar class is nothing new, it appears to be a staple of many shows now. The year also saw a wider adoption of ‘30 Under 30’ classes aimed quite obviously at attracting younger entrants. Along with these has come a move to include classes catering for unusual and oddball machines well beyond the pre- and post-war open and closed classics. This creative proliferation is not the sole preserve of the younger events. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance still showcases the greatest cars and yet is not afraid to innovate, with unexpected displays such as last year’s ‘wedge’ class and this year’s expedition Land Rovers as proof. Not only that: when Pebble Beach does an anniversary, it tends to go all out. While several other events celebrated 75 years of the Formula 1 World Championship with delightful dedicated displays, including at FuoriConcorso and the Concours of Elegance Hampton Court, the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links featured more than 30 significant Formula 1 racing cars. While on the subject of Pebble Beach, Casa Ferrari’s Concorso Ferrari deserves a mention for its spectacular display of Maranello’s finest machines of all ages. Most likely on the back of last year’s significant overall wins at Pebble Beach and Villa d’Este, preservation classes featured a little more prominently almost across the board in 2025. Overall wins for the Auriga Collection’s unrestored 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B (P3) Monoposto da Gran Premio at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and for Chris MacAllister’s 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 ‘Rimoldi’ Corto Spyder at the Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance suggest 2024 wasn’t an outlier. There was no such repeat at Pebble Beach this year, though, with the absolutely magnificent mahogany-bodied, aluminiumriveted 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo

shown by Penny and Lee Anderson Sr taking the spoils, fresh from a two-year restoration. 2025 again saw the expansion of the concours as a prime alternative to traditional motor shows for national, continental and global debuts of new concept cars, plus limited and full production models. Without doubt, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering has become the launchpad for top-end cars in the US. Morgan was there this year, marking its return to the US with a tiny stand that generated several sales and a huge amount of interest. Singer, Tuthill, Meyers Manx, Hennessey and RUF all have strong presences there alongside the big brands. We’d wager, however, that Gordon Murray’s new Special Vehicles division created the most viral content with the unveiling of its Le Mans GTR and S1 LM concept cars. Over in the UK, the new-car launch trend was exemplified by the opening of the Salon Privé Automotive Gallery, a huge glassy display area that facilitated the reveal of the RML Group’s first GT Hypercar, Thornley Kelham’s Jaguar XK European GT Roadster and comedian Jimmy Carr’s Electrogenic Aston Martin DB6, among others. For all 2025’s highpoints, there were a few disappointments, cancellations and postponements, too, although most for some very reasonable and positive reasons. The death of the Pope halted the much anticipated debut of the Anantara Concorso Roma, restructuring and expansion pressures were touted for the deferment of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, and building work caused the postponement of our own Concours on Savile Row; while the Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance has simply “outgrown” its long-time home at The Simeone Museum. The good news is that all of these are set to return in 2026. It is true that there has been a proliferation of concours-style events over the past few years, and that the calendar does look a little crowded, but it’s also true that the growth has been global and that geographically competing events have been willing to communicate and compromise, to the benefit of all. It’s all indicative, really, of a concours scene that’s in rude health at the moment. Long may it continue.

This year saw more bespoke cars launched than ever – from restomods to OEM hypercars – as the luxury market embraces individuality WOR D S NAT H AN C H ADW IC K

ONE-OFFS ALFA ROMEO 8C ZAGATO DOPPIACODA Making its debut at Villa d’Este, this one-off coachbuilt version of the 8C was crafted for a private collector by Zagato, and the design merges the classic Zagato ‘double tail’ (DoppiaCoda) with a rounded Kamm-type rear end. It keeps the 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 from the original 8C Competizione, churning out about 450bhp and 354lb ft of torque, dashes from 0-62mph in

approximately 4.2 seconds and hits a top speed of nearly 181mph. BUGATTI BROUILLARD This one-off hypercar was revealed at The Quail, as part of Bugatti’s new Programme Solitaire bespoke division. It uses the firm’s 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine (producing 1578bhp) with maximum torque around 1180lb ft. Power is sent through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox driving all four wheels. Styling nods to Bugatti esteemed history include equestrian themes

embroidered into the interior, a fixed ducktail wing and a glassroof spine. The chassis is made of carbonfibre and aluminium. CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONCEPT CX AND CX.R VISION GRAN TURISMO Chevrolet has been showing several Corvette concepts over the year, with designs appearing from its European and American design houses. However, The Quail saw the unveiling of the CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo.

The CX is a road and track concept powered by four electric motors, one at each wheel, in total delivering more than 2000bhp. A 90kWh lithium ion battery sits low in the chassis to aid balance. Meanwhile, the CX.R VGT is circuit oriented, with a high-revving twin-turbo 2.0-litre V8 running on e-fuel and three electric motors to produce a combined 2000bhp. Active aero includes a vacuum fan set-up and open-channel bodywork as well as an adjustable rear wing and front diffuser.

BELOW Zagato DoppiaCoda is a one-off based on an Alfa 8C.

LEXUS SPORT CONCEPT The Sport Concept made a surprise debut at The Quail: a wide, low two-door coupé that combines ‘dynamic and emotional’ styling cues. Lexus has not yet confirmed powertrain details, but those in the know suggest an evolution of its Electrified Sport Concept, pointing to dual electric motors or hybrid tech that will result in very low 0-60mph times.

LIMITED-PRODUCTION CARS GORDON MURRAY SPECIAL VEHICLES S1 LM The S1 LM is a bespoke road-legal supercar from a new division of GMA called Gordon Murray Special Vehicles. Revealed during Monterey Car Week as a tribute to the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR LM, it is based on the T.50 but dressed in new carbonfibre bodywork with a lowered roofline, split rear wing, large front splitter, diffuser and sculpted aero. ABOVE Lexus Sport Concept was a surprise debut at The Quail.

At the car’s heart lies a 4.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine producing more than 690bhp and revving to 12,100rpm, paired with a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Only five units will be built, all for a single client. Deliveries begin in 2026. GORDON MURRAY SPECIAL VEHICLES LE MANS GTR The Le Mans GTR was the second limited-run hypercar from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles revealed at Monterey Car Week. Its design pays tribute to longtail endurance racers such as the Porsche 917, Matra-Simca MS660 and Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/3, merged with McLaren F1 GTR DNA. It uses GMA’s naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V12 engine, which revs to 12,100rpm, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Aerodynamics are extreme, with a large front splitter, roof-mounted ram-air intake, deep diffusers, wide track and full-width BELOW Gordon Murray’s GMSV S1 LM references his McLaren F1.

LAMBORGHINI FENOMENO Built to celebrate 20 years of Lamborghini Centro Stile, and limited to just 29 examples, the Fenomeno is built on the Revuelto platform. It features the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini has ever made – a 6.5-litre unit tuned to 823bhp at 9250rpm – paired with three electric motors for a combined output of 1065bhp. It rockets from 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds and has a top speed of more than 217mph. The bodywork is full carbonfibre with forged-alloy wheels, bespoke Bridgestone tyres, CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes and a more elegant approach to Lamborghini design than we’ve seen recently.

homage to Lanzante’s 1995 Le Mans win with the no. 59 McLaren F1 GTR. Its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 puts out more than 850bhp and 649lb ft of torque through a sevenspeed dual-clutch gearbox. Target weight is 1250kg with the LM30 pack, which includes forged wheels, titanium exhaust and gold heat shields, and, as a nod to the McLaren F1, there is a central driving position; 59 will be built. MEYERS MANX X TUTHILL LFG Revealed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, just 100 examples will be made, each with access to six years of curated global driving adventures, beginning in 2027 with a Baja tour. A carbonfibre body and roll-over protection structure are features, along with optional engine specs that include a four-valve variant derived from Tuthill’s ‘K’ engine. Power goes through a six-speed sequential gearbox to a full fourwheel-drive system with front, centre and rear limited-slip differentials, while the suspension uses twin five-way adjustable

dampers with hydraulic bump stops. Brakes have four-piston offroad calipers, there’s a long-range fuel tank, and the Inconel exhaust is designed for harsh terrain. OTHER NOTABLE DEBUTS BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP This limited-production shooting brake was revealed at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Limited to 70 units, it’s based on the M8 GT car, with a 600bhprated twin-turbo V8 and the XDrive all-wheel drive matched to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The front end features a V-shape, shark-nose design with slim front lights and illuminated kidney grille, while the roof showcases a colour gradient from Floating Sunstone Maroon to Floating Sundown Silver. Inside, there are broguestyle leather accents and a divided luggage bay for multi-day trips. BOVENSIEPEN ZAGATO The 2025 Bovensiepen Zagato is a bespoke grand tourer born from the collaboration between the

BELOW Zagato’s Bovensiepen GT, Testarossa GTS by Niels van Roij, and Touring’s Veloce12 Barchetta.

GUNTHER WERKS PROJECT F-26 The Project F-26 is a radical reimagining of the Porsche 911, drawing inspiration from the 1980s Porsche 930 ‘slantnose’ and the race-winning 930. Launched at The Quail, the F-26 features a carbonfibre front end with fixed headlights, wide fenders

and a prominent rear wing. A 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six produces 1000bhp and 750lb ft of torque, transmitted through a sixspeed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Weighing 1225kg, the F-26 offers a power-toweight ratio of one horsepower to every 1.23kg. Just 26 will be made. NIELS VAN ROIJ TESTAROSSA GTS The Guida Touring Sport is a bespoke Targa conversion of the Ferrari Testarossa, designed and engineered by Niels van Roij Design. This one-off creation, which was unveiled at the Concours d’Élégance Wheels Mariënwaerdt, transforms the 1984 coupé into an open-top GT. The project involved more than 3000 hours of meticulous work, including the necessary structural

changes to maintain rigidity after the roof’s removal. TOURING SUPERLEGGERA VELOCE12 BARCHETTA Unveiled at The Quail, this Ferrari 550 Maranello-based model pays homage to classic Ferrari designs while seamlessly incorporating modern enhancements. Each of the 30 units planned features a full carbonfibre body, structural reinforcements and a refreshed 5.5-litre V12 engine producing approximately 500bhp. The six-speed gated manual transmission remains, but there is now adaptive suspension, improved cooling and Brembo brakes. The donor cars are 550 coupés, which are then turned into drop-tops via carbon-infused chassis-rigidity improvements.

Each one of the planned 250 carbon-bodied cars will take 250 hours to build and features Zagato’s signature ‘double-bubble’ roof.

What to expect in 2026

Significant anniversaries, a relinquishing of the helm, the return of revitalised favourites, an expanded calendar and more vibrant visitor experiences await WOR D S WAY NE BAT T Y

LEFT Sandra Button on Dawn Patrolgreeting duty – a Pebble Beach institution. RIGHT Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance since 2002, Sandra’s legacy is immense.

THE WORLD ITSELF MAY BE FACING VARYING LEVELS OF uncertainty, but a quick look at how the concours scene is shaping up for the coming year is cause for optimism. Many popular events – Philadelphia, Savile Row, Chattanooga, Concours d’Elegance Suisse – that were cancelled, postponed or rested in 2025 are set to return in 2026 in revitalised and expanded form. With its last-minute cancellation this year, out of respect for the death of the Pope, all eyes are likely to be on the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma in mid-April. Automotive marvels in the Eternal City has all the makings of a concours great. April also sees the introduction of the Cavallino Classic Monaco – the first concours d’elegance dedicated solely to Ferrari’s Formula 1 racing cars. Starting on April 23, the event adds an intriguing fourth element to the Cavallino Classic brand in the year of its 35th anniversary. First held in 1992, the 2026 Palm Beach Cavallino Classic will take place at The Boca Raton on February 14, due to building work at its traditional home at The Breakers. Excitingly, 2026 is an ‘event year’ on the biennial cycles of both the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille and The Oberoi Concours d’Elegance. Gatherings at Chantilly, just north of Paris, tend to exceed already lofty expectations, while The Oberoi Concours in Udaipur, India –the 2024 International Historic Motoring Awards’ Breakthrough Event of the Year – looks to build on its early success. Next year will be huge for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, as the crown jewel of the concours world celebrates its 75th anniversary, along with the legacy of highly influential, prolifically successful chairman Sandra Button, who relinquishes ownership and her position, but stays on as a

consultant. “It’s our big 75th celebration, so we are hosting a look back at great gatherings of cars that made history here, and also the road races that served as our beginning,” says Button. To be held once again at The Lodge at Pebble Beach, on August 16, additional focus points include the marque of Ferrari and the coachbuilder Vignale, along with Early American Speedsters, The Start of the Streamlined Era, Japanese Motorsports and Land Speed Record Cars. Speaking of significant anniversaries; if you are in the camp that recognises the Patent-Motorwagen of Karl Benz as the first automobile (that’s most of us, I’d guess), then you’ll know that 2026 represents the 140th year of the automobile. Expect Mercedes-Benz Heritage reproductions to be puffing about at various points during the year. What’s more, Mercedes-Benz as a standalone brand was inaugurated in 1926, so centenary celebrations are well in order there, too. A large number of classic sports cars, across a wide section of value points, celebrate various anniversaries next year – starting with the grand daddy of all extremely valuable collector cars, the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, which first emerged in 1936. Other nonagenarians are the Morgan 4/4 – the manufacturer’s first four-wheeler – and BMW’s 328. Cars celebrating their 60th anniversaries in 2026 include the Lamborghini Miura, Lotus Europa, Jensen FF, Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Camaro, while the mid-century heroes are the Ferrari 512 BB and the Lotus Esprit. Expect many special concours classes to focus on these, along with even more emphasis on youngtimers, supercars and hypercars. The growth in attendance figures seen in recent years has been widely attributed to the wholesale inclusion of these more contemporary marvels of speed and style. And don’t forget the restomods. Love or loathe them, more and more boutique outfits are springing up to take advantage of a growing consumer desire to drive modernised cars with more of yesterday’s visual character. We can also expect to see further elevation of the traditional concours opening gala as organisers incorporate design, fashion, art and luxurylifestyle elements. Other events may have pioneered the move, but the ‘ModaMiami’ effect has accelerated reactions. An example is ‘Reverie’, introduced this year at The Amelia and Greenwich concours events. Greenwich described its version as a waterfront soirée that transformed the harbour into a vibrant celebration of design, craftsmanship and culture, and as an exquisite culinary and bar experience, with guests encouraged to “dress to impress”. It’s no secret that most event organisers are chasing the holy grail of affluent younger enthusiast audiences. Whichever way you look at it, the concours scene is currently benefitting greatly from being in flux, for the most part at least. Depending on how dynamic their organisers are, events appear to variously be carving fresh niches, reinventing, adopting new trends or doing it the way they’ve always done it, just better. The result is a calendar richer in geographic spread, cultural vibrancy and automotive experiences. You couldn’t ask for more.

Celebrating the

Best Best of the

There can literally be no higher honour in the concours world than to win The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award

WHAT AN AWARD THIS IS! THE PENINSULA CLASSICS Best of the Best Award takes the Best of Show winners from a selection of the most highly esteemed concours around the world, and chooses an overall winner. It’s no easy task. The award was the brainchild of four of the greatest collector car enthusiasts of our time: Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (which is the owner and operator of The Peninsula Hotels), together with his great friends and fellow collectors William (Chip) E Connor II, Bruce Meyer and Christian Philippsen. Last year’s award, presented in Paris during Rétromobile week, went to the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM of Chris Cox, which won Best of Show at Cavallino Classic and so earned an automatic entry into 2024’s The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award. The nominees for 2025 are the Best of Show winners at the following world-renowned events: Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este; The Amelia; The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering; Salon Privé; Palm Beach Cavallino Classic; Goodwood Cartier Style et Luxe; and Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace. The biennial Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille wasn’t held in 2025 and the winner of Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance respectfully declined nomination for personal reasons. Among the judges assigned to the challenging task of picking the world’s greatest concours car were HRH Prince Michael of Kent, automotive designers Fabio Filippini, Ken Okuyama, Luc Donckerwolke, Ed Welburn, Ian Callum, Chris Bangle, Gorden Wagener and Peter Brock, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, Ford Motor Company director Henry Ford III, comedian, television host and collector Jay Leno, and many others. The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award 2025 will be presented at The Peninsula Paris on January 26, 2026.

Has concours culture in the Gulf started to change?

With Bahrain’s Crown Prince leading the charge, we may see more Middle Eastern car enthusiasts visiting concours both at home and abroad

PLENTY HAVE TRIED, BUT FEW HAVE SUCCESSFULLY put on a high-end concours in the Middle Eastern Gulf region; by which we mean Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. But all that might just have changed, thanks to the influence of the Crown Prince of Bahrain, HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa – the royal automotive enthusiast who was responsible for bringing Formula 1 to the region in 2004. It was the Prince, working with UK-based Thorough Events, who was behind this year’s Royal Bahrain Concours, overseeing every detail and persuading his friends and fellow car enthusiasts to take part. Many were influential sheiks, with truly vast collections and boundless enthusiasm. The inaugural running of the event in November wasn’t perfect, but it overcame many of the practical and cultural pitfalls that have stymied previous concours in the area. The first of those is that many car collectors across the Gulf are wary of appearing to ‘show off’, with the result that their vehicles often remain hidden away in private collections. Although some are driven, it’s been rare for such special machinery to appear at shows as widely as they would in other territories. On top of this, car culture in the Gulf is also famously biased towards modern limited-edition supercars and hypercars – but you might be surprised just how many classics are around. The

WOR D S DAVID L IL LY W H IT E P H OTO G R AP H Y T IM S C OT T FLUID IM AG ES / O NE S PAC E BAH RAIN

generally accepted thinking is that car culture in the Middle East started in the 1970s, and that is widely the case due to political changes during that era. There were exceptions, though: the Bahrain Car Club, for example, started in 1952 and held hillclimb events and shows several decades ago. More recently, we’ve seen concours-style events in Dubai and Riyadh in particular, including tour and event company Seven’s massive event in Saudi. However, few have been as international as the Royal Bahrain Concours or Canossa’s Cavallino Classic Middle East, although there’s a flip side to that: both Thorough Events and Canossa have been careful to ensure that these brand-extension events don’t simply become carbon copies of their concours in Western regions, with the same cars and the same owners dominating them. There’s a balance necessary here. It would look wrong for a concours in the Gulf to be all about international owners and their cars. Equally, many of the local collectors know each other: they’re keen to see vehicles that they’ve not come across before. Given the predominance of modern machinery, bringing in models from the UK, Europe and the US allows the organisers to provide a wider spread of ages. And then you have to consider the visitors. The hardcore enthusiasts, whether local or international, also want to see cars that they’ve never seen before, and of course they want those

M IDD LE EASTE RN CO NCO URS CULT UR E

vehicles to be of interest to them. Generally, the international visitors crave the older cars, while it was assumed that the locals wouldn’t be interested in the classics – but that assumption was blown out of the ornamental lake at the Royal Bahrain Concours, where the locals were enthusiastic about all ages of the concours cars (to the point that some were plotting to offer their own for display next year, or buy historic vehicles specifically for it). There were plenty of very special cars at Bahrain brought along by the locals. They included a unique Lamborghini LM002 built for the King of Jordan to use for falcon hunting, complete with a removable vinyl sunroof and an electrically powered seat that would raise the passenger through the roof aperture. Fresh out of a three-year restoration, the LM002 rightly won its class, voted for by other concours car owners. Then there was the famous 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV bought new by the Shah of Iran, only to disappear for 12 years following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The current owner, from Bahrain, bought it through Kidston SA and has had it restored to original specification under the supervision of legendary Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni, who also attended the event. It was no surprise that the Miura won Best of Show. Other cars with lesser provenances struck a chord as well. An Aston Martin DB4 looked different from any we’ll have seen in the West, with its monogrammed scarlet paintwork, white interior and whitewall tyres, but it looked absolutely right in the bright light of the Gulf. And who wouldn’t have been charmed by two truly surprising local cars; a 1913 Clement Bayard and a lovely little 1929 Model A Ford. A Low Chassis Invicta was another welcome surprise, as was a monstrous 27-litre Meteor-engined Bentley Special. The huge variety of local cars was even more evident in the Royal Bahrain Concours’ adjacent club display area, which had everything from a six-wheeler open-topped Range Rover in pearlescent white to an Alfa Romeo SZ ‘Il Mostro’ and an MGA now in the care of the nephew of the original owner, among the more obvious Porsches and Lamborghinis. We mention these to explain that it’s not just supercars and hypercars… but actually the important point here is that this acceptance of concours-style events could easily become a twoway street. International visitors will love the winter sun and the immense luxury and hospitality on offer in the Gulf region, as well as the relative lack of red tape involved in moving cars in and out. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern enthusiasts and collectors are now expressing an interest in visiting concours in the West, particularly during their scorching summer months. Perhaps it won’t surprise you to learn that the enthusiastic HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa has been one of the first to visit, taking part in the 2025 running of the Concours of Elegance Hampton Court. And, as we have seen, where the Crown Prince leads, many follow.

Temple of elegance The return of Japan’s foremost showcase of classic automotive elegance promised much. Would it deliver? We went a long way to find out

JAPAN, WITH ITS MELODIC ANNOUNCEMENTS, KEIcar cuteness, caricatured graphics and ritualised politeness, is already special. Throw in a deeply spiritual location with a 1300-year history and around 60 collector cars, and you get the Concorso d’Eleganza Japan. The event is founder Hidetomo Kimura’s vision for a world-class concours in his homeland rekindled after a six-year hiatus. Previously known as Concorso d’Eleganza Kyoto, it was held on three occasions at Kyoto’s Nijo-jo Castle, but has found a new home in the magnificent Yakushiji Temple complex – the centre of Hossō Buddhism – in the old imperial capital, Nara. When the story of the return of Kimura’s concours first broke, attending went straight to the top of my 2025 wish list. After much careful planning, I booked a flight to Narita airport, 45 miles east of central Tokyo. A late-night arrival provided the perfect excuse to try a pod hotel, a box I’d long hoped to tick. Surreal for people with minimalist tendencies, but clearly not for those who prefer living large. A problem with the express service meant switching to a local train on a notoriously busy line into Tokyo at rush hour on a Friday morning. I’ve been on packed trains before, but this was some expert-level human Tetris. Fortunately, a reserved seat on the half-empty Tokaido Shinkansen from Shinagawa to Kyoto awaited, followed by a final train south to Nara. Wary of Japan’s sometimes bewilderingly complex publictransport systems but also keen for a fuller experience, I booked a decent hotel a stone’s throw from the train and bus stations, and prepped for the following two days of concours activity by walking the streets of Nara’s expansive tourist zone fuelled up on matcha brownie and cheap coffee. With a little Google and a lot of grace, I boarded the right early morning bus and was soon en route to the temple complex, three miles but 29 minutes away. Locals, all using pre-paid IC cards, gestured to flummoxed tourists (me) to take a numbered ticket. These are linked to a zonal fare shown on a screen

OPPOSITE Temples, heritage and tradition: Italian, English, Japanese and German icons, plus hypercars, unicorns, a Bugatti Type 13 and many umbrellas – this was a splendid festival of celebrated cars.

upfront. The longer you ride, the more you pay. In my case, the bus trip cost a paltry ¥310 (£1.53) and offered yet more reasons to love Japan. It’s a personal observation, but public life here seems to come with sing-song instructions, quirkily translated for grateful English-speaking visitors. Among the very useful announcements and safety warnings on my bus were little gems such as: “Please be careful sound leakage of your music player.” I simply could not hope for a more charming aural accompaniment to the neck-straining task of spotting and identifying kei cars. Honda N-Box Joy, Daihatsu Canbus and Suzuki Hustler, you have my heart. Access to Yakushiji Temple, situated little more than four kilometres from the city centre, is dead easy: both buses and trains stop within a few hundred yards of the complex’s north gate. Media pass secured, I paused to take in the lines of a car I’d only ever seen in pixels before, the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante. Chassis 42956, completed in 2018, was one of the stars of a carefully curated display by title sponsor RM Sotheby’s. Sure, it could never match the enduring impact of the 1952 Alfa Romeo C52 original, but Touring Superleggera’s modern reimagining is still a wonderful creation, infused with just enough retro essence for the vital visual link but not too much to look passé. The official concours cars lined the large stone block walkways of the vast complex’s administrative HQ, its sutra-copying hall and Genjyoto pagoda. Despite this particular section being open to the public, the flow of intrigued spectators remained a trickle throughout, which resulted in a super-relaxed, leisurely atmosphere. As someone who grew up in sunnier climes, I never carry an umbrella, not even after living in England for seven years. Something told me to pack one for this trip, and I’m so glad I did: viewing and jury-evaluation sessions were conducted largely in a saturating drizzle, often accompanied by a biting wind. For lovers of classic and collectable cars, though, the line-up of machines more than made up for the slight discomfort.

CONCORSO D ’ E L EG A NZA JA PA N

Appreciation for Italian cars runs deep here – hence the event’s title. No surprise, then, to see a good number of Abarth, Alfa, Fiat, Maserati, Lamborghini and Lancia models, including a few Zagato-bodied examples, on show. These were followed closely by offerings from several British marques and Porsche. Overall, entries ranged from the docile and the dainty – Austin Seven Type B Coupé and aero-inspired 1948 Fiat 500B Zagato Panoramica, respectively – to the imposing 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental DHC by Carlton and the visually aggressive Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, a car so ballistic its very name sounds like an automatic weapon. Naturally, the line-up also included an assortment of Ferraris, the most significant being the 1988 ‘Taisan’ Star Card F40 Street JGTC, a fire-spitting, street-legal racer famous well beyond the Tokyo custom car scene. The event also attracted an impressive selection of contemporary hypercars, including a Lamborghini Centenario, Koenigsegg Regera, Ferrari Daytona SP3 and Singer-Porsche 911 DLS. Looking to escape the rain and replenish unusually low caffeine levels, I found trendy boulangerie Pas à Pas less than a minute’s walk from the entrance gates. I admit there are times when finding a bit of France in Japan is quite welcome. Right across the street, a small but popular restaurant offered more traditional mid-day Japanese sustenance. A special evening-into-night celebration in and around the majestic Kondo and Daikodo halls would have offered a fabulous opportunity to see the cars draped in ‘magic hour’ light, had the weather held. For VIP guests, though, the Pommery still flowed while collector car connections both new and old were made or strengthened among the mostly Japanese attendees. For insomniacs and serious enthusiasts, the following morning’s celebration offered a 5:30am start in the sacred temple grounds. Sadly, more precipitation kept many of the roofless wonders from removing their plastic raincoats. For those of us who stuck around, the reward was hearing cars such as an initially defiant 1991 Schuppan Porsche 962 LM fire into life with the ferocity of a methanol-fuelled chainsaw, while a little Abarth OT 1300 sounded almost as angry. With so few people about, great access to the cars and the sheer spiritual splendour of the environment, the morning celebration was a favourite aspect of the concours. A formal awards ceremony held in the Jikido dining hall was another indelible memory marked by a disarmingly intense rendition of a traditional Japanese play complete with primal

‘In the land of the rising sun, great cars, though often hidden in private collections, aren’t in short supply’ drumming and a dramatically masked main character. Hidetomo Kimura’s equally traditional attire again underlined the distinctly Japanese flavour of the event – a unique and vital differentiator in an increasingly crowded concours world. Character, culture, heritage and luxury are all desirable concours attributes, but they mean little without great cars. Fortunately, in the land of the rising sun, great cars, though often kept hidden in private collections, are not in short supply. Personal standouts included a 1951 Maserati A6G Vignale, a handsome 1951 Siata Daina Sport Coupé Stabilimenti Farina, the adorably dinky 1965 Toyota Sports 800, a stunning example of the Aston Martin C-type and a 1960 Lancia Appia Zagato GTE. Two unicorns, the Lexus LFA Spyder and the Toyota 2000 GT convertible from the film You Only Live Twice, played the perfect hometown heroes. A highly accomplished jury included such luminaries as Shiro Nakamura, Ken Okuyama, Andrea Zagato, Duccio Lopresto and Classic Driver CEO JP Rathgen. The overall winner of the Concorso d’Eleganza Japan turned out to be a visiting spaceship from California in the other-worldly shape of the 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero concept car. Owner Phillip Sarofim popped onto the stage and, after speaking a few very well received words in Japanese, said he felt “deeply honoured” and was very pleased with how “the charm of this car affects everyone wherever it goes”. This was the first time the 55-year-old concept had been seen in Japan. Clearly, it has lost none of its visual impact. The 2025 event was, as advertised, a “splendid festival of celebrated cars”. Kimura, event chairman Corrado Lopresto and chief adviser Shiro Nakamura will already be working on what promises to be an even better 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Japan. If you’re inspired to attend, plan early – and pack an umbrella.

THE ENTRA NT

“AN AMERICAN FRIEND ONCE TOLD ME: ‘WHEN YOU had ten or 20 cars, you seemed eccentric. Now that you have dozens, only Italian and one-offs, you’re a genius!’” chuckles Corrado Lopresto – one of Italy’s most prolific private collectors. “That was when I realised I had crossed the line from restorer to serious collector.” Today, the Lopresto Collection numbers more than 200 oneoff Italian cars, and this year is the 25th since Corrado’s first concours appearance. It’s been quite a journey from his roots in Calabria, southern Italy. “I’m from the same town as the Florio family (Bagnara Calabra), who created the Targa Florio,” he recalls. With relatives who raced in the event during the 1950s and 1960s, it’s hardly surprising that his passion for cars began early. “A few of my cousins were restoring a Lancia Aurelia, and I found myself fascinated by the process. That’s how I first came into contact with the world of classic car restoration,” he says. “At just 20 years old, I bought and restored my first car – a Fiat Balilla – with the help of the Giordano brothers, skilled coachbuilders in Calabria. Their craftsmanship and experience left a lasting impression on me.” What sets the Lopresto Collection apart is its uniqueness. “I was drawn to cars most collectors ignored: one-offs, prototypes, models that told a different story,” he explains. “Many people made fun of me for it. They would ring me up and say, ‘Corrado, I’ve got a car for sale that only you could possibly want.’ At times, I wondered if I was mad, but I knew I was doing something special – something not many others understood.” For a collection steeped in Italian history, Ferrari plays a surprisingly small role. “I’ve always wanted to celebrate the broader Italian story – marques such as Diatto, Isotta Fraschini, Ansaldo, Cisitalia and others that history has nearly forgotten,” he explains. “Ironically, in avoiding Ferraris that were prohibitive for me back then, I ended up owning the V12 Alfa Romeo engine that inspired the first Ferrari unit, and just recently an Alfa that could be considered Enzo Ferrari’s first true road car. Somehow, the circle always closes.” His first concours experience came in 2001, at Villa d’Este. “I didn’t know what to expect – I simply cleaned the car and brought it along. A friend suggested I should prepare more carefully, so I did, and the car won Best in Show… beginner’s luck,” he says. “That event opened my eyes to a new world: one where history, art and culture meet.”

OPPOSITE AND BELOW Restorer, collector and concours winner, Corrado’s passion for ‘different’ classic cars has served him well.

He’s seen the concours world change dramatically. “In the early days, it was filled with true enthusiasts. Today, there’s a lot of money involved – investors and dealers showing cars merely to raise their value.” It is an observation that’s inspired Corrado to collaborate with the LIUC University of Castellanza and its Business School in creating the first masters programme that unites business management with automotive heritage. The goal: to educate a new generation who see cars as cultural artefacts, not commodities. That philosophy was recognised in 2016, when his halfrestored, half-original car won the Preservation Class at Villa d’Este – a project later acknowledged by UNESCO for its contribution to cultural conservation. “It was a moment of immense pride for me and my son Duccio,” he says. Corrado also helps the Accademia Formativa Martesana in Gorgonzola, a technical school for young people aged 15 to 18, with a course dedicated to classic car restoration. “One of our graduates has just been employed in a big car firm – proof that this cultural legacy can still inspire and create new craftsmen, which we very much need today,” he says. 2025 has been another triumphant year: Corrado’s Alfa Romeo won Best in Show at the Varignana concours, and the Lancia Sibilo claimed a class win at Dinard. Yet for him, the trophies aren’t what matter most. “Many of my cars hadn’t been seen for decades. By exhibiting them, I’ve met designers, engineers and former owners who’ve shared priceless information — the kind of stories you never find if a car stays hidden away for decades.” Asked about what he’d like to add to his collection, Corrado says: “I bought what spoke to me, but what I regret are the cars I didn’t buy – the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 in South America, or the Bertone Maserati 3500 designed by Franco Scaglione.” Ever the innovator, Corrado wants to reimagine what a concours can be. “I don’t just want to repeat the same formula,” he asserts. “That’s why I’m working with the Italian Railway Foundation to bring a vintage train carrying all participants to a concours – a bridge between automotive and industrial heritage, and a beautiful journey across time.” Despite all it involves, he insists true collecting isn’t about money or prestige. “It’s about curiosity, culture and the joy of sharing beauty,” he says. “Cars are stories – and it’s my responsibility to make sure they’re never forgotten.” See more of the Lopresto Collection at www.lopresto.it.

THE JUDGE

PASSIONATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND IMMEDIATELY likeable – barely five minutes into a first conversation with Aniruddh ‘Ani’ Kasliwal, it’s easy to understand why this collector and businessman from Mumbai, India, is making waves in the world of international concours judging. Ani’s early passion for classic cars stems from his parents, especially his father, who would take him across the country to many regional car events. Having an uncle with a significant car collection was also instrumental. Growing up around the vintage and classic car show scene in India has had its drawbacks, as Ani explains: “Although India is a large nation, the number of marques and models imported back in the day was very limited. And so we didn’t have the edge in terms of first-hand experience and even basic knowledge of some car makes. There are times when you’re handed a class and the first effort required is to research the marque, then the model or type. But these challenges are welcome.” Aniruddh is quick to point out the many positives, too. “When you judge at an event in India, you do everything; you view a Ford, a Morris, a Rolls-Royce and then you do a Buick. Many times there are just one or two judges examining about 30 to 40 cars throughout the whole day. Sometimes you come across a preservation car that teaches you much more than a fully restored example. Because it’s never been touched, you learn exactly what nuts and bolts, and what kind of upholstery, the model came with. And then you can use that as a reference when you come across a similar, fully restored car.” As for the question of preservation or restoration, Aniruddh says that both clearly have their place – although it is very important to make the distinction between preserved and loved, and preserved but neglected. Like a rock band learning its craft by booking small gigs, judging at the regional shows is presumably rewarding but not always glamorous. Aniruddh agrees: “You’re not given a fixed 15-20 minutes per car; you’re not sent all the details on the classes, the cars, the owners or the history beforehand. No, here you’re thrown on a level field, and given a sheet of paper and 70 cars. ‘See you tomorrow.’ “It can be hard work, especially when you meet an enthusiastic senior owner of a vehicle who wants to tell their life story. We’re a very family-oriented people, so often an owner will bring the entire troop along. And because you understand

their passion, you can’t tell them that you need to leave because you’ve got another owner’s car to see. You also get the odd guy who’ll say: ‘Here are the keys, do what you want, I’m going to have a beer.’ An event in India is a lot of fun: full of colour, with dancing and singing as you evaluate the cars.” It’s all part of a culturally rich classic and collector car scene that has witnessed a meteoric rise in quality in recent years, currently epitomised by two world-class concours events: The Oberoi Concours d’Elegance and the 21 Gun Salute Concours. Aniruddh says it was the “proper format and international judges of the Cartier Concours d’Elegance held in Mumbai in 2008” that proved the catalyst for the step up in concours standards. “It wasn’t too long before that event that I first came across something called an authenticity manual. Before, it was a case of: ‘Okay, the car is blue. It should have a tan interior and a black top, and it should go.’ That was it. You never looked at the carpet or what pattern the wiring should have. So, when the judges came for the first time in 2008, they appreciated what we brought, but also spoke out and helped us understand the meaning of authenticity. It was a real stepping stone.” Ani’s own journey into international concours judging began over a dinner in Mumbai where he met Nigel Matthews and Richard Adatto. As a lover of select European makes with Royal provenance, and pre-war American cars – particularly Packards, for which he has long been roster keeper in India – there’s no prizes for guessing what the three talked about all evening. “It must have been my knowledge of various cars that spoke for me, as I was then invited by Mr Matthews to judge for the first time at Salon Privé in 2023. That changed my whole perspective.” Invitations to several top-tier events such as La Jolla and Amelia Island followed. Still, Ani counts an email from Chris Bock, asking if he’d be a shadow judge at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours, as his favourite concours moment. Returning in 2025 as a team judge for Pebble Beach’s FIVA Trophies was welcome affirmation. International judging hasn’t all gone perfectly to plan, though, as Aniruddh found out when he once failed to read a memo specifically stating that only khaki or grey trousers were acceptable. Asked what makes a great concours judge, his character comes to the fore: “Be humble, observe and listen. Respect your peers, vehicle owners and their restorers – they all have a depth of knowledge that they’re willing to share, if you’ll only ask.”

THE RESTORE R

AS COMPANY MOTTOS GO, YOU’D THINK KEVIN KAY Restorations’ (KKR) guiding philosophy – do it right, do it perfectly and do it with passion – would make life challenging for the team of dedicated Aston Martin specialists in Redding, California. But in fact, as KC Crawford, KKR’s engineering and parts manager, explains: “It makes decisions easy – you just have to make it perfect.” In 1991, Kevin Kay purchased an Aston Martin with the simple intention of restoring it for himself. When he brought the completed car to a show, an admirer asked him to take on another restoration. From that chance encounter, KKR was born – and what began as a passion project in a small workshop gradually grew into a fully fledged operation with a dedicated team. Today the company employs around 20 people, operates out of a 36,000sq ft facility and has recently expanded by acquiring a neighbouring building. “We have tonnes of rich history and photos,” says project manager Eric Boehringer. “We’ve got a huge database of cars we’ve worked on – and Kevin’s still around, so we can bounce ideas off him. That library of experience is invaluable.” Over the years, the shop has built a reputation for concourslevel restorations. Among the highlights is the complete restoration of a DB4 GT Zagato that won its class at Pebble Beach in 2019 and was nominated for Best of Show. More recently, the team restored a one-of-one 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Bertone Coupé, which took first in the Post-War Touring Class at Pebble Beach in 2023. “That was a fantastic car, very British, very Aston Martin, but with quirky, one-off prototype features,” says KC. “We had to use new tools and techniques, including 3D scanning and printing to recreate original damaged parts. It was intricate, but the level of detail paid off. My wife was at Pebble Beach and overheard the judges calling the restoration ‘simply perfect’. The team back here was thrilled that their work was appreciated.” It’s been a difficult time for the Aston Martin market over the past five years, largely thanks to an enormous Middle Eastern collection being offloaded in bulk. “Many cars have been sitting idle for years and require work, which has driven down the market,” Eric says. “Even high-end cars are affected, because buyers see low prices and assume issues, when in reality it’s just lower-end cars flooding the market. We’re nearing the end of that trend, and I expect the situation to bounce back.”

BELOW KC Crawford (left) and Eric Boehringer are key members of KKR’s 20-strong team.

KC sees the market for turn-key finished cars as remaining strong: “There’s less demand for fixer-upper or barn-find vehicles; people generally prefer cars that are ready to drive.” Although KKR is best known for its six-cylinder Aston work – alongside other marques from the ’50s and ’60s, and pre-war cars – the team is seeing an uptick in interest in the DBS and V8 models. “They were previously undervalued, but now enthusiasts are keen to restore and drive them,” Eric explains. “V8s can keep up with modern cars while maintaining their classic character, which makes them desirable,” KC adds. “Prewar cars are more for show, but the interest is still there for the quirky cars, such as the 1935 Voisin we recommissioned.” One of KKR’s most talked-about projects is the James Bond DB5 recreation, commissioned during the pandemic by a client who wanted to build a fully functional version of the movie car – complete with working gadgets: “He had the connections to make it happen. There are plaques hidden behind panels marking each gadget, labelled as if from Q Branch. Even things you’ll never see were done to that level of detail.” The Bond DB5 soon became a sensation, drawing huge crowds at concours from The Quail to Amelia Island. “Even the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, called it ‘the most fun I’ve had in a car in a long time’,” beams KC. The team is optimistic about the future of the restoration industry. “People crave authenticity and hand-crafted cars. Sports cars from the 1950s to the 1990s will remain desirable,” says KC. “We also see interest in recommissioning and subtle driving upgrades while maintaining originality.” “Cars from the 1950s and 1960s were engaging; you felt every bump,” adds Eric. “Modern cars have made driving easier, even autonomous, reducing the visceral experience. These classics provide the engagement and reliability customers want.” As such, the team predicts continued strength in post-war sports cars, with growth in 1980s and ’90s models as enthusiasts age and tastes evolve. KKR itself is preparing for that future by investing in talent, which is fast becoming a pinch point for many restorers. “We’ve been working with McPherson College in the US on internships,” KC says. “We’re seeing young people who want to work with their hands, learn a trade and build something beautiful. Once they get here and see what’s possible, they don’t want to leave.” kevinkayrestorations.com

THE ORGANISE R

“I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF WITH A LOT OF FREE time,” laughs Luigi Orlandini, CEO of Canossa and the man behind Cavallino concours events around the world. After selling his software business in 2010, his passion for classic car rallies – and a newly empty diary – inspired him to create the kind of event he’d always imagined. Fast forward to today, and Canossa owns Cavallino and runs events for manufacturers as well as the company’s own. It’s been a remarkable rise. Perhaps taking inspiration from the Italian queen who gave the company its name, Luigi has never been deterred by a challenge. “My first event took place in Emilia-Romagna, near Modena and Parma, in 2011,” he explains. “That year marked the 900th anniversary of the death of Matilde di Canossa, who ruled this area nine centuries ago and, for a while, became Queen of Italy. We called it the Gran Premio Terre di Canossa. It was a four-day, three-night rally with five-star hotels and dinners prepared by Michelin-starred chefs. It was an ambitious concept at the time, and it proved successful.” Luigi soon found himself running another event, the Modena Cento Ore, which has been under his stewardship since 2012. His first Cento Ore didn’t exactly go to plan. “I broke my ankle in 2012, the day after Terre di Canossa. I wasn’t confined to a wheelchair for long, but the timing couldn’t have been worse,” Luigi laughs. “Then a major earthquake struck Emilia-Romagna, and Modena Cento Ore was due to take place a month later.” Undeterred, he pressed on, donating the proceeds from the event to the disaster relief fund. “Every contribution helped, and one of the crews is still proud to carry the sticker from that event on his Porsche,” he says. The Modena Cento Ore has continued to grow, and it recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with a special five-day, five-circuit run from Rome to Modena. The next big step in Canossa’s story came through Ferrari. “In 2012 I invited Antonio Ghini, then director of communications at Ferrari, to attend the second edition of Terre di Canossa, and a few weeks later he invited me to Maranello,” Luigi explains. “Ferrari was launching its Cavalcade and looking for support. Antonio asked if I could help – and that’s how my collaboration with the marque began.” Since then, Canossa has organised a mixture of B2B events for manufacturers such as Ferrari and Koenigsegg, as well as its own. “Another key moment came in 2019, when I welcomed a new American partner into the company,” Luigi

OPPOSITE AND BELOW Luigi Orlandini set up Canossa Events to indulge his own passion for classic car rallies.

says. “I continue to lead the business as before, but having a base in the US has opened up many new opportunities.” One such opportunity came with the acquisition of the Cavallino brand from John Barnes in 2020. Strengthening the Maranello connection further, the Ferrari family took a stake in Cavallino in late 2024. “If you had asked me ten years ago whether I would one day run a business together with the Ferrari family, I would have laughed at the idea,” he says. “It’s quite an achievement, and I’m very happy and proud of it.” Luigi has experienced some of the world’s finest Ferraris and events, so pinning him down on a favourite is not easy. Two come to mind, however: the 250 GTO reunions in 2017 (Tuscany) and 2022 (US). “Both reunions had a wonderful atmosphere, relaxed, understated and full of genuinely kind people. Those two gatherings were among the most special, both for the cars and for the people who brought them.” There are big plans for 2026. The 35th Cavallino Classic Palm Beach will move to The Boca Raton due to building work at The Breakers resort, and there are several new initiatives in the pipeline, including the first concours for Ferrari Formula 1 cars, which will be held in Monaco. Further ahead, plans are already underway for an event in Japan in 2027. Luigi has seen dramatic changes in the collector world. “People in their 40s and 50s didn’t grow up dreaming of a 275 or a 250, because we weren’t even born when those cars were built,” he says. “For us, the icons were the Testarossa, the F40 and the F50, which is why values for those models are rising. I’m not sure what will happen to the older cars, but those of us involved in this world should make an effort to educate younger enthusiasts about their importance. More modern cars tend to attract younger visitors but, once they’re at the event, they discover the classics and start to appreciate them. We have also introduced promotions and discounts for younger participants.” This approach hasn’t pleased everyone. “We sometimes receive complaints from long-time followers of Cavallino who say it was once reserved for Ferraris from the Enzo era and earlier,” Luigi admits. “That’s true, but it’s our responsibility to attract and educate younger enthusiasts. This benefits everyone, including collectors of the older cars, because without new buyers the market cannot thrive.” canossa.com

IN A WONDERFULLY FESTIVE and celebratory atmosphere, an exquisite 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica belonging to American collector Kevin Cogan was crowned Best of Show at Cavallino Classic Middle East. “I’m truly delighted that, in just its fourth year, Cavallino Classic Middle East has reached the level and acclaim of an international concorso d’eleganza,” said Luigi Orlandini, chairman and CEO of Cavallino Inc. “The growth of such an event, even in countries without a deep-rooted tradition in this field, is a testament to the enduring interest and passion for automobiles in general, and Ferraris in particular.” Joining Luigi for the presentation of the awards were Ferrari’s vice-president

of commercial and marketing Enrico Galliera, and Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, a direct descendant of Enzo Ferrari and president of Cavallino Inc, who emphasised the cultural importance of preserving and celebrating all Ferrari models built from 1947 to today. In addition to the 19 vehicles that earned the coveted Platinum Award, numerous class and special prize winners were also honoured. Many of these models paid tribute to Ferrari’s 30-year history in the Middle East. The Cavallino Classic Middle East paves the way for even greater milestones in the years to come and has now firmly established itself as a premier marque-specific international concours of elegance.

There was a genuine sense of celebration at the Cavallino Classic Middle East.

UNDER THE SUNNY SKIES OF South Florida, the 2025 Motorcar Cavalcade once again delivered an unforgettable experience, blending luxury, history and artistry in a unique way. Held at the prestigious JW Marriott Turnberry Resort & Spa, the event showcased a stunning collection of rare, exotic and iconic automobiles, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of car aficionados, collectors and industry insiders. Celebrating the ‘Art and Evolution’ of the Automobile, the Motorcar Cavalcade included both classic and modern vehicles in a single exhilarating setting. From impeccably restored pre-war classics to cutting-edge hypercars, every vehicle on display told a story of craftsmanship, passion and innovation. The day’s festivities went beyond the automotive displays. Guests indulged in gourmet cuisine, sipped on fine Champagne, and enjoyed the company of fellow enthusiasts in a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, with interactive experiences and live entertainment making it as much about lifestyle and camaraderie as it was about the cars themselves. The judging process, which placed an emphasis on design, history and overall presence rather than just technical perfection, allowed for a broad range of vehicles – from a meticulously restored vintage Rolls-Royce to a one-of-a-kind modern concept car – to be recognised for their distinctive contributions. With its blend of elegance, exclusivity and electric energy, the 2025 Motorcar Cavalcade remains one of the mustattend automotive events of the year.

won by a 1962 Chevrolet C1 Corvette, owned by David Lane of the North Shore Vintage Car Club, while Ian Neary’s 1968 Plymouth GTX won the Modified Class. In the 30/40/50 Class – for cars over 30 years old, owners under 40, and less than NZ$50,000 spent – the judges singled out the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 2 of Michael Williams. With over 80 clubs participating, there was stiff competition for the Best Club Display. Under this year’s ‘Summer Holiday’ theme, it was the ‘lifesaving’ MX-5 Club that triumphed. The Classic Cover Ellerslie Car Show and Intermarque Concours d’Elegance will return to the picturesque Ellerslie Racecourse on February 8, 2026.

Mustangs scored highly at New Zealand’s premier classic show this year.

THE 11TH EDITION OF INDIA’S 21 Gun Salute Concours d’Elegance, the nation’s longest-running concours, was won by a 1922 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Open-Tourer Hunting Car by Windover. Exhibited by Mr Dhanraj Gidwaney, the Ghost impressed the judges with its beautiful condition, glamorous design and quintessentially Indian heritage. In second place was the 1955 Chrysler Imperial Limousine of Mr Viveck and Mrs Zita Goenka, with third place going to a 1930 Cord L-29 Cabriolet of Mr Gautam Singhania. On the lush lawns of the Ambience Greens Golf Course in Gurugram, amid live music, heritage fashion showcases and captivating cultural performances, 95 cars competed across 11 classes. These

ranged from Veteran & Edwardian and 100 Years of MG to Post-War American Convertibles and 120 Years of RollsRoyce, with the overall excellent presentation of the class winners proving a steady improvement in the standards of restoration in recent years. Organiser Madan Mohan’s efforts to establish the 21 Gun Salute Concours, and to build its reputation within the enthusiastic and culturally important Indian and global classic vehicle communities, have been immense. An international jury, a celebration of some of the greatest cars in India and the coming together of the major collectors, restorers, influencers and enthusiasts bodes well for the development of the classic car market in Southern Asia.

Performances of Indian dance celebrated the local culture of this concours.

WITH MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF motoring heritage on display, the seventh annual Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance celebrated timeless design, engineering excellence and craftsmanship – all set against the dramatic backdrop of Sydney Harbour. This year’s event, the second to be held on Sydney’s iconic Cockatoo Island, welcomed more than 2000 motoring and luxury lifestyle enthusiasts, and showcased over 80 rare vintage and classic cars, super- and hypercars, and cutting-edge new-energy vehicles. From the extraordinary display, three Best in Show awards were determined by a panel of international judges led by Alfa Romeo expert Alessandra Giorgetti from Milan. The prestigious winners, a 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS Figoni, a 1938 Bugatti Type 57 Aravis and a 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400, were announced at a gala dinner at the Royal Automobile Club of Australia on the Saturday evening of the concours. Event founder and curator James Nicholls called the 2025 edition “the biggest and best Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance in our seven-year history”, and said that it “marked a milestone in the event’s legacy”. He continued: “The extraordinary vehicles showcased, alongside curated luxury lifestyle experiences featuring haute couture, fine food, designer jewellery, Champagne Pommery and Château la Gordonne, continue to elevate the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance as one of the world’s leading luxury lifestyle events.

THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE Amelia saw a weekend of fine dining, wonderful driving experiences, live auctions – and, of course, the Concours d’Elegance. From more than 240 significant automobiles in 35 classes, a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B – the only one bodied by Farina – claimed the title of Best of Show Concours d’Elegance, while the 1967 Lotus 49 debuted by Jim Clark at Zandvoort in 1967 was Best of Show Concours de Sport. The weekend celebrations welcomed thousands of enthusiasts to The RitzCarlton, Amelia Island in Florida. This year’s event honoured racing icon and four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Hélio Castroneves, who presented a collection of significant race cars. New

to The Amelia this year was Reverie, an immersive hospitality experience that kicked off the event weekend on Thursday evening. Reverie featured exclusive automotive-themed culinary pairings developed by Zane Nesbitt, Ritz-Carlton executive sous-chef. “For 30 years, The Amelia has shown that, while automotive design and competition are always evolving, the enthusiasm for special cars remains steadfast – especially the very best of the best,” said McKeel Hagerty, Hagerty CEO, board chairman and chairman of The Amelia. “More than 100 years of classics were present this weekend, as thousands of people gathered on the showfields to honour automotive history and celebrate car culture.”

CONCORSO D’ELEGANZA JAPAN made a highly anticipated return in 2025 after a six-year hiatus. Previously known as Concorso d’Eleganza Kyoto, the event has found a new home in the magnificent Yakushiji Temple complex in Nara. While the weather did not always play along, a wonderful array of classic and collector cars more than made up for it. Underscoring Japan’s seemingly endless appreciation for European machinery, the display ranged from an Austin Seven Type B Coupé and a dainty 1948 Fiat 500B Zagato Panoramica to an imposing 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Drophead Coupé by Carlton and the ballistic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. A formal awards ceremony, hosted by event founder and CEO Hidetomo

Kimura in traditional attire, underlined the event’s distinctly Japanese flavour. Judges including Shiro Nakamura, Ken Okuyama, Andrea Zagato and other automotive luminaries selected winners for the 25 awards on offer, with the Jury Special Award going to Akira Sugahara and his 1947 Cisitalia 202 SC, while a 1960 Lancia Appia Zagato GTE took the prize for Best Restoration. The big winner, however, was the 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero concept owned by Phillip Sarofim, which won the Special Edition class, the People’s Choice Award and Best of Show. Buoyed by this year’s great success, Hidetomo Kimura confirmed that the Concorso d’Eleganza Japan will return to the temple complex in 2026.

THE 19TH ANNUAL LA JOLLA Concours d’Elegance drew over 15,000 guests to La Jolla’s sparkling coastline for a three-day celebration of incredible automobiles and coastal luxury. Sunday’s grand concours at Ellen Browning Scripps Park featured 122 meticulously restored automobiles, competing across 11 classes and 14 specialty categories, while this year’s Mascots in Motion theme paid tribute to the artistry of hood ornaments. The festivities kicked off on Friday with a VIP Opening Soirée featuring 20 of San Diego’s top restaurants, live entertainment and a preview of the best concours cars, while Saturday’s La Jolla Tour d’Elegance saw a scenic rally through La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe.

The grand concours event on Sunday featured standout marques including Bugatti, Delahaye, Packard, Porsche, Maserati and Rolls-Royce, with vehicles curated by an all-volunteer committee led by the concours’ co-chairs G Michael Dorvillier and Robert F Kerner Jr, alongside chief judge Nigel Matthews. Best in Show was awarded to the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing of John and Kimberly Word. Outside the concours gates, the public enjoyed the La Jolla Motor Car Classic, featuring a vibrant mix of modern and vintage cars. “We’re incredibly proud of what we accomplished this year,” said Dorvillier, “and we’re already looking ahead to an unforgettable 20th anniversary in 2026.”

The blues of the sky and the Pacific ocean complement La Jolla’s brilliant concours cars.

THE FIFTH EDITION OF LUGANO Elegance 2025, under new organisers Scuderia Classiche, attracted enthusiasts and collectors from Europe and beyond to the shores of Lake Lugano. A refined and welcoming concours d’elegance, the free-to-attend event was held once again in the extraordinary setting of Lugano’s city centre. This edition also saw the debut of a vintage market where registered cars were displayed with automobilia in a ‘Memory Lane’, a feature which is likely to grow in size and importance in future. A hallmark of Lugano Elegance is the quality of the judging. Led by Chris Kramer, the jury included such luminaries as GM’s former VP of Design Ed Welburn, international broker Max

Girardo and former Pininfarina design chief Lorenzo Ramaciotti. The line-up of automotive jewels on display during Friday’s parade on the Piazza Riforma and Saturday’s concours featured the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in Coupé and Roadster guises, along with icons from Duesenberg, Pegaso, Facel Vega, Talbot-Lago, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Alfa Romeo. Several class and special awards were handed out at an exciting ceremony that was followed by a gala dinner. Best of Show was awarded to Don Ghareeb’s 1929 Duesenberg J, which also won the Early Motoring – Pre-War Cars class.

HELD OVER A FINE WEEKEND in May, on the shores of Italy’s Lake Como, the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este was blessed with scorching weather and a similarly hot selection of cars. This year’s event saw a ‘home’ victory for Alfa Romeo: a much-storied Scuderia Ferrari-run P3 Monoposto entered by Germany’s Auriga Collection. The car also won its class – Sculpture in Motion: The Decade of the Automotive Arms Race, 1928-1938. The Coppa d’Oro went to Dirk de Groen’s 1957 BMW 507 Roadster. One of only 45 first-series models built, the 507 also won the Trofeo VrankenPommery for Best Iconic Car. Friday’s judging session and main reception took place within the palatial grounds of the Villa d’Este hotel, which were packed with a wide variety of entrants from across the world. BMW took the opportunity to mark the 70th anniversary of the BMW 507, while Rolls-Royce celebrated the Phantom’s centenary by showcasing the Phantom Goldfinger, inspired by the Bond film. With Saturday’s exclusive Villa d’Este concours event in full swing, nearby Villa Erba played host to a cars and coffee event called Wheels and Weisswürscht, which celebrated all facets of motoring enthusiasm, with 1950s and ’60s British sports cars parked next to heavily modified German and Japanese modern classics. Early Sunday saw the Concorso cars make their way through the narrow streets of Cernobbio to Villa Erba for the public display. The event coincided with Broad Arrow’s inaugural Villa d’Este sale, held in Villa Erba’s rotunda.

THIS YEAR’S FUORICONCORSO showcased the very best of Italian motor sport history, with two days of expert discussions, art and a broad array of stunning cars in the sun-drenched environs of the villas above Lake Como. This year’s theme – Velocissimo – was epitomised by a stellar line-up that included an Alfa Romeo Tipo 159 Alfetta, a 1954 Lancia D50, a 1954 Maserati 250F, a 1961 Ferrari 156, the Ferrari 499P driven to victory at the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours, an IMSA 1989 F40 LM and more. Alfa Romeo took over Villa Sucota, with a Giulia TZ and TZ2, a 6C 1750 Zagato, a 1933 short-chassis 8C Touring Spider, the 1975 Nürburgring 1000kmwinning 33 TT12 and a 155 V6 Ti, alongside the new 33 Stradale.

A major feature of the event is always the broad spread of cars. This year’s display incorporated everything from a Maserati MC12 GT1 and the MercedesBenz CLK GTR Straßenversion to the ex-Stirling Moss Maserati Eldorado 420M/58 and the 1981 Monaco GP Lamborghini Countach pace car. Visitors also enjoyed a dedicated rallying display built around significant Lancia stars, including a 1992 Delta Integrale HF Evoluzione, a 1986 Martiniliveried Delta S4, the Fulvia F&M Fulvietta and an 037 Evo II. The 2025 FuoriConcorso was bigger and better attended than ever. The beautiful setting, easy-going vibe and excellent manufacturer support mark it out as an event to watch.

THE VALLETTA CONCOURS – known informally as the Concours d’Elegance of the Mediterranean – has been an annual automotive delight ever since it made its debut back in 2017. Held in front of the Grandmasters’ Palace on Malta’s 16th-century main square, and surrounded by Baroque architecture, its setting is quite majestic. For the 2025 edition 65 vintage and classic cars, together with a number of motorcycles of the same timeframe, from local and international collections, adorned the venue. A 24-member jury consisting of well known automotive connoisseurs and experts was joined for the first time by three junior judges. Given the high standard of entries, deciding on the winners was no easy task. After hours of inspection and inquisition in the golden sunshine, Yohan Poonawalla’s 1949 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith was selected as the winner of the International Overall Best in Show Award, while Mark Borg’s 1968 Alfa Romeo Spider Osso di Seppia by Pininfarina was chosen for the Best in Show Maltija Award. Borg was also presented with the Best Restored Car Award for this immaculate machine. Class winners included Roberto Attard’s 1923 Riley Redwing Tourer in the Pre-War Class, Joseph Zammit Tabona’s 1961 Jaguar E-type Series 1 OTS in the Jaguar Class, and Willie Pace’s Preservation Class 1977 Renault 6, which also received the FIVA Award from FIVA president, Mr Tiddo Bresters. Preparations for the 2026 event are underway, with special celebrations planned for Pininfarina, Superleggera, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and an exciting addition in the form of a Maharaja class.

THIS YEAR’S LONDON CONCOURS drew record crowds over its three spectacle-filled days. Set within the Honourable Artillery Company’s fiveacre oasis of green, the event’s ninth edition played host to one of the most exceptional arrays of automotive exotica ever assembled in the Capital. An early example of the exceptionally rare Bugatti EB110 SS was awarded this year’s main prize, coming out on top in a field of over 80 exquisite motor cars – from jaw-dropping hypercars to bluechip classics. The victorious EB110, VIN 0001, was originally built for the Royal Family of Brunei. One of just 31 SS models, it was also the winner of an icon-filled Dream Cars class. Elsewhere, the Chairman’s Award was

presented to a glorious 1961 Maserati 3500 GT. Finished in Blu Sera, it also won the Wildcards category. Other competitive classes included Fast Fords, Youngtimers, 70 Years of Mercedes-Benz SL, 50 Years of Ferrari V8 and The Legendary AC Cars. A 428 Frua Spyder, one of three prototypes and the only example with a manual transmission, won the last of these. Beyond the cars, guests enjoyed gourmet food and the finest Champagne from Veuve Cliquot, as well as a range of boutiques from leading luxury brands. Andrew Evans, London Concours director, said: “The London Concours is now firmly established as the Capital’s summer automotive garden party and as a fixture of the London social calendar.”

Lawns of the Honourable Artillery Company are a green oasis in the heart of London.

FIRST HELD IN 1921 DURING THE golden age of automotive competition, the original Dinard Concours d’Elégance attracted the greatest motoring and fashion creations. Authentically revived in 2018 by enthusiasts Juliette and Denis Cohignac, the event continues to go from strength to strength, supported by the City of Dinard, loyal partners and a young team of highly efficient volunteers. For 2025, the fourth edition of the event since its revival, the line-up included 34 cars from 12 countries and three continents. Some real rarities were presented, such as a pre-war Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS Castagna, Italian design masterpieces in the striking forms of a Siata Daina Berlinetta by Bertone and a Miura, as well as Gandini

one-offs such as the Lancia Sibilo and the Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow. The weekend kicked off with the traditional Tour d’Elégance, a 40km loop that ended with the concours vehicles displayed along the beachfront, to the delight of spectators. In the evening, the Port Breton gardens provided a gentle, jazz-filled atmosphere with a live orchestra. Nearly two hours of entertainment were hosted by erudite former FIVA president Patrick Rollet, who warmly recounted the wonderful history of the cars presented. Sunday’s prize-giving ceremony saw a magnificent 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Open Tourer with body by Hooper crowned Best in Show and winning the Grand Prix d’Excellence FFVE.

As was usual pre-war, Dinard Elégance judges both the cars and their crews for overall style.

WITH MORE THAN 60 CAREFULLY selected vehicles from around the world, the 2025 edition of The Aurora again offered its signature dual-concours celebration of collector classics and modern hypercars. A ‘thin chassis’ 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 was awarded Best of Show in the Swedish event’s Classic Car Concours, while the first production 2025 Koenigsegg CC850 to be delivered to a customer took the honours in the Hypercar Concours. While the concours cars represented the highest global standards, the showfield provided a more accessible layer of car culture with approximately 400 cars on display, from enthusiastmodified icons to ultra-rare exotics. A 1948 Jaguar MkIV won the Best of Showfield title. Other highlights included the world premiere of the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear, the debut of the 2025 Kimera EVO38 Prototype 00 ‘Aurora’ and BMW’s presentation of four of its iconic Art Cars: Andy Warhol’s 1979 M1, Alexander Calder’s 1975 3.0 CSL, Roy Lichtenstein’s 1977 320i Turbo and Jeff Koons’ 2010 M3 GT2. Featuring only concours cars, The Aurora Tour was held on the Thursday of concours week and gathered more than 50 vehicles for a scenic and spirited drive from Båstad to Mölle. It’s not just about the cars, though: the debut of The Aurora Yacht Show brought Scandinavian marine elegance to the fore, while live interviews and collaborations with partners such as Vogue Scandinavia bridged the worlds of fashion, engineering, design, media and automotive culture. With record attendance, a world premiere and cars never before seen in Northern Europe, The Aurora 2025 cemented its status as Scandinavia’s premier automotive and lifestyle event.

THOUSANDS OF ENTHUSIASTS, collectors and guests gathered at Suffolk’s Heveningham Hall for one of the UK’s most prestigious and unique concours events: an elegant fusion of motoring and aviation excellence with a solid charitable purpose. This year’s meticulously curated lineup of cars, motorcycles and aeroplanes was judged by a distinguished panel, including automotive designer Peter Stevens, racing driver Marino Franchitti and former Aston Martin and Jaguar designer Ian Callum, among others. The Land Speed Record-breaking 1920 Sunbeam 350HP was awarded Best in Show, as well as being part of the spectacle; its 18.3-litre aero engine was regularly fired up to astonish

onlookers, spitting flames into the air. The Hanna Aviation Trophy was awarded to the 1939 Gloster Gladiator biplane, while in the ever-popular Horsepower Hill demonstration run James Nichols once again took the honours, hitting a top speed of 117mph in a Ferrari 296. Global debuts included the Wood & Pickett Mini by CALLUM and the carbonfibre Picasso OMT 450C flat-track racing motorcycle. “What sets Heveningham Concours apart is not only the extraordinary cars and planes, but the fact that it all gives back to our community,” said Lois Hunt, the event’s chairman and founder. Every ticket purchased and every vehicle entered raises much-needed charitable funds for projects across Suffolk.

Terraced lawns behind Heveningham Hall form a natural display area for entrants.

FOR THE 29TH RUNNING OF THE Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ Concours d’Elegance, Goodwood’s tranquil Cartier Lawn was graced with almost 50 remarkable vehicles for 2025, each one being an outstanding representation of one of the seven individual classes of rare and exclusive machines. A panel of 11 celebrity judges, including top industrial designers Sir Jony Ive, Marc Newson, Adriana Monk and Marco Capaldo, Pixar’s creative director Jay Ward, Renault Group chief designer Laurens van den Acker, fashion entrepreneur Alice Temperley and luxury editor Sasha Slater, had the unenviable task of selecting a winner for each of the vehicle classes, before crowning the Best of Show.

The classes for 2025 were arguably the most diverse yet seen, ranging from ethereal pre-war Rolls-Royce Phantom Is to a gaggle of more than half a dozen Bugatti Veyron 16.4s, in the year this extreme cult hypercar turns 20. Sprinkled between these automotive bookends were a brace of sporting ‘Low Chassis’ S-Types to mark 100 years of the invincible Invicta marque, the centenary of the sublime coachbuilding art of Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, with a gathering of its finest post-war GTs, plus 70 years of the svelte Facel Vegas. In addition, there were 60 years of the charismatic Alpina-tuned BMWs and a similar celebration for 60 years of the iconic Ford Transit van, with a collection of its light commercial rivals.

Facel Vega looks sublimely beautiful in the evening light at Goodwood.

BROTHERS AND CO-FOUNDERS OF this event, Jakub and Timotej Dostálek, chose the historic Château Gbeľany in Žilina as the venue for the inaugural Concours of Slovakia. The immaculately renovated Baroque château, set in the centre of an English-style park, provided a wonderful backdrop to a gathering that showcased the rich automotive heritage of the region. The multi-day event incorporated an Elegance Tour on the Friday, comprising a scenic drive through the surrounding countryside that included lunch and coffee stops at Eco Resort Vendelin and the Kunerad Castle. Saturday’s concours line-up consisted of a carefully curated selection of 30 automobiles ranging from pre-war classics to 1990s

icons, some having also competed at Pebble Beach, Chantilly and Villa d’Este. All the participating cars were placed into six thematic classes with neatly thought-out names such as French Revolution (Bugattis and a Facel Vega); Six Meters, Six Litres (for US ‘land yachts’); and a class for MercedesBenzes called Sky Full of Stars. The judges deliberated between six class winners before selecting a 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux as Best of Show. This remarkable machine comes from the Czech Republic and was meticulously restored by its owner. The first Concours of Slovakia set the bar high, with a compact, well organised and high-quality event that grabbed the attention of the concours world.

The beautiful Château Gbeľany hosted this very first Concours of Slovakia.

THE 15TH ANNUAL MISSELWOOD Concours d’Elegance, held at Endicott College’s stunning ocean-front campus, was a superb showcase of automotive excellence, history and design. More than 1200 enthusiasts, collectors and spectators marvelled at the automobiles and motorcycles that were vying for top honours in various categories, including this year’s featured classes: the Cars of Harley Earl, a Celebration of Jaguar, and Vehicles with Long-Term Ownership (of 40 years or more). Inaugural recipient of the brand-new Distinguished Patron Award, which was created to recognise individuals who demonstrate outstanding dedication to the automotive world, was North Shore native Brian Kelly, president and owner of Kelly Automotive Group.

Best of Show went to Mark and Carolynne Corigliano for their stunning 1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Phaeton (Tourer). Masterfully restored in 2016 by Vintage and Auto Rebuilds, this exquisite machine is celebrated for still having its original body and matching numbers, and for being the oldest extant Springfield-produced car. “Celebrating our 15th year was truly special,” said Bryan Cain, acting president of Endicott College. “The Misselwood Concours d’Elegance has grown into a premier event at an unrivalled coastal college. More importantly, the proceeds directly impact our first-generation students through the Inspire Scholarship, providing access to higher education and empowering future leaders.”

The Inspire Scholarship is awarded to high-achieving students who are the first in their families to pursue dreams of higher education.

YORKSHIRE ELEGANCE, THE North of England’s most prestigious collector car showcase, returned to the magnificent grounds of Grantley Hall for its fifth staging. The 2025 event featured a larger 71-car concours that boasted vehicles from 1886 to the present day. Of the 61 judged entries, Best in Show went to a stunning Ferrari Classicherestored 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB that is believed to be the first right-hand-drive example ever imported into the UK. An impressive 1931 Bentley 8 Litre took the Vintage class crown, while Classic-class entries, for cars built between 1945 and 1970, included a rare Maserati 450S, an early Chevrolet Corvette C1 and the first AC Cobra. John Day’s exotic 1968 Lamborghini Islero, however, emerged victorious here.

Another highlight was the David Brown-era Aston Martin class, which saw Mark Lewis’s 1964 Aston Martin DB5 come away with top honours. A 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren won the Future Classic category; rivals included a Bugatti Veyron and an Aston Martin Valkyrie. A Resto Mod class, celebrating classic cars reimagined with modern engineering, was won by a Fifteen Eleven Design 914 presented by Ben Mellors. Notable non-concours exhibits were the Wood & Pickett Mini by Callum, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti formerly owned by Eric Clapton and the Jaguar D-type Continuation showcased by Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works. The organisers have confirmed that next year’s event will celebrate 100 years of the Mercedes-Benz brand.

RETURNING TO THE STUNNING Gut Kaltenbrunn on the shores of Lake Tegernsee, the second edition of the Concours of Elegance Germany once again captured the attention of the global automotive world. From a field of more than 80 of the finest automobiles, a sublime AustroDaimler Bergmeister from 1932 was honoured with the coveted Silver Lion and Meissen hand-made porcelain vase as Best of Show. Steering committee chairman Richard Charlesworth MVO presented the Chairman’s Award to the exceptional 1939 Talbot-Lago T23 Baby Cabriolet by Chapron. In the Grand Prix Class, a spectacular pair of icons from two golden eras of racing claimed top honours: the 312 T5

driven by Gilles Villeneuve during Ferrari’s 1980 Formula 1 season, and the revered Alfa Romeo P3, one of just 13 built and originally campaigned by Scuderia Ferrari. Decade awards were also presented across all automotive eras from the early 20th century to the modern age. Highlights included the 1929 Mercedes-Benz 710 SS Roadster by Corsica, and the 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Convertible Vignale. Beyond the automotive excellence of the concours lawn, guests enjoyed the luxuries of fine hospitality, a curated Bond Straße shopping experience, Emil Frey Sportivo’s innovative Casa Ferrari structure and auction partner RM Sotheby’s world-class display of collector cars and automobilia.

THE 2025 EDITION OF THE ZURICH Classic Car Award (ZCCA) was held on the lakeside promenade of the town of Zug, just 25km south of the city. The new venue was a temporary measure necessitated by renovation works being carried out at the event’s usual home at the Bürkliplatz town square in Zurich. While it was new territory for all, the location seemed to go down very well across the board, with everyone from visitors to the concours entrants themselves enjoying the sunshine and the general atmosphere. The jury, led by Ulli Safferling, rose to the often difficult challenge of selecting winners from among the high-quality vehicles on display. With so much

beautifully restored, stylish and unique machinery to evaluate, there were no easy decisions to make. At the end of the day, Best of Show was awarded to the 1969 Ferrari 365 GTC of Adrian-Richard Michel, which also won its class. Another double winner was Andrea Wallimann’s 1935 SS Jaguar Four-light Saloon that took Pre-War Class honours and the Best Documented Car award. Although not an official title, the rarest motor sport jewel of the day was without doubt Dr Christian Jenny’s 1950s Classwinning 1953 Jaguar Hansgen Special. In celebrating another staging of the ZCCA, event chairman Stefan A Fischer thanked onsite partners, the jury and all who helped make the day such a success.

A temporary new home beside the lake at Zug proved popular with visitors.

This year, four featured classes supplemented the eight traditional classes. The 30th Anniversary of the Ferrari F50 was won by Museo Carde’s 1995 model, John Dwyer’s 1965 GT350R was first in the 60th Anniversary of the

The Quail also continues to be an automotive industry launchpad, with 18 global debuts including the Lamborghini Fenomeno, a brace of Chevrolet Corvette concepts and two cars from Gordon Murray’s new Special Vehicles division. “From esteemed collectors showing the rarest vehicles in the world to sponsors debuting the latest in automotive art and technology, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is the epicentre of automotive culture,” said Kai Lermen, senior vice-president of The Peninsula Signature Events.

THE PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS d’Elegance this year saw 229 cars – including 55 international entries from 22 countries and 174 entries from 31 US states – pull onto the competition field. After yet another remarkable gathering, the car named Best of Show was a unique aero-inspired 1924 HispanoSuiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo shown by Penny and Lee Anderson Sr. There were several rivals for Best of Show. They included the 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Zweisitzer presented by Dana and Patti Mecum; the 1933 Invicta 4½ Litre S-type Corsica Drophead Coupé shown by SBH; and the 1956 Maserati 200 SI Fantuzzi Open Sports Racer entered by Phillip Sarofim. As usual , this celebration of motoring elegance got underway on the Thursday

The Pebble Beach Concours raised more than $4 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $45 million to date. The 75th celebration of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will be held at The Lodge at Pebble Beach on August 16, 2026, and will feature the marque of Ferrari and the coachbuilder Vignale. It will also celebrate the automotive history that has been made at Pebble Beach, with curated classes for Pebble Beach Road Racing greats and a very special gathering that pays tribute to iconic groups of cars that were first brought together at this concours.

LACY PARK PLAYED HOST ONCE again to the 14th annual San Marino Motor Classic. The weekend began with the elegant Symphony of Cars Gala and the Automotive Fine Arts Society exhibit on Saturday; the sold-out Gala, in aid of the Cancer Support Community of San Gabriel Valley, was attended by over 675 guests, who enjoyed an evening of live music, a gourmet dinner and a rolling display of 20 exceptional classic cars. Sunday’s San Marino Motor Classic, Southern California’s premier concours, brought together more than 400 classic, exotic and historically significant vehicles. Robert Molino’s 1917 Packard Runabout claimed Best in Show – PreWar, while Mark Hyman’s 1952 Chrysler Ghia took Best in Show – Post-War. Other highlights included Bill Rooklidge’s 1955 Jaguar D-type, which claimed victory in the Jaguar class and also won the award for Best Sports Motif. A pillar of this event has always been the breadth of its classes, which, apart from several with an American theme, also included three Preservation classes plus others for Japanese, Italian Sports Cars, Hot Rods, Station Wagons, Police Cruisers and more. Fans of MercedesBenz, Ferrari and Porsche models were very well catered for, too. With so much variety and quality on display, it’s easy to see why this concours has become such a popular fixture on the calendar. Much more than just a static display, the San Marino Motor Classic is an automotive celebration enjoyed by enthusiasts of every age – and all for very worthy causes.

THE SALON PRIVÉ CONCOURS celebrated its 20th anniversary this year with a display of 60 incredible cars in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. The competing entries spanned 12 classes including Pre-War American Classics, Ferrari Racers of the 1950s, European GTs, Coachbuilding by HJ Mulliner and Supercar Pin-ups of the ’80s and ’90s. Shown by The Auriga Collection from Germany, the Pre-War Open classwinning 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial Roadster by Sindelfingen, which had not been seen in public since 1997, was judged Best of Show. It was crowned after two days of competition, with a team of international judges led by chief judge Nigel Matthews using the new M100 judging system. Runner-Up and The People’s Choice Award went to

the 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Coupé ‘Super Fast’ Prototype by Pinin Farina, shown by Anne Brockinton Lee. Salon Privé 2025 also saw the introduction of two new driving tours along with the Automotive Gallery, a predominantly glass structure covering 4460 square metres, which proved a superb (and dry) showcase for UK debuts from Thornley Kelham, RML and Electrogenic, plus a chance to see Chevrolet Europe’s Corvette concept. Elsewhere, a broad selection of scintillating green machines were lined up to celebrate Salon Privé’s emerald – that is, its 20th – anniversary. With great hospitality, a genial atmosphere and very high-quality cars throughout, this is an event that impresses more with each passing year.

A spectacular light show formed part of the event’s dramatic Best of Show presentation.

MORE THAN 28,000 VISITORS enjoyed sunny weather in the circular Baroque palace gardens while experiencing the fascinating breadth of automotive history at the 21st International Concours d’Élégance ASC-Classic-Gala Schwetzingen. Among the more than 180 historic vehicles from the years 1885 to 1990 were many unique automotive treasures, some of which were presented publicly for the very first time. The oldest was a Gladiator touring car built in Paris as early as 1903, alongside a collection of Adler automobiles up to 1915. The audience and the 40-member international jury of experts were all thrilled by the variety of classics on display throughout – such as the aerodynamic wonder, the 1936 Adler Trumpf 2-Litre, which won the Time Witness Award. A 1938 Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio Cabriolet won the Grand Prix Classic-Gala Schwetzingen, while a 1922 Rolls-Royce 40/50 two-seater owned by Swiss collector Cäsar Peier was awarded The Star of Classic-Gala Schwetzingen. Winner of the Youngest Participant award was 12-year-old Maksim Petrovski, who, together with his father, restored a 1957 Tomos Mopi microcar from Macedonia. Contrasting in size, top honours in the US Classic Car Concours went to a fine example of the Loewy-styled Studebaker Avanti R2, owned by Hans-Jürgen Röcker. In the end, the day and the Best of Show award belonged to the incredible 1949 Triumph TRX Roadster owned by Chris Cachia, which epitomises the type of unique world-class classics that this concours has always championed.

BEST OF SHOW ‘EXPERT JURY’ 1972 Citroën SM Opéra 3/7 (Dehaeck).

THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION of the Antwerp Concours d’Elegance, held once again at Belvédère Castle, took place in beautiful late-summer weather. This year’s theme was Cars & Comics. As beloved objects of popular culture, cars – and comic books – often have an ability both to transcend and connect generations. Given Belgium’s strong culture of famous comic-book heroes – Tintin, Gaston Lagaffe and Michel Vaillant, to name just a few – and the fact that many now-classic cars feature in numerous comics, the organisers figured it was an appropriate theme for this special anniversary edition. It certainly added another layer of nostalgia to the already enchanting display of 80 classic and collector cars. Apart from the main theme, where the ex-Louis Rosier, ex-Baron d’Huart 1950 Talbot-Lago T26C was crowned Best of Show Expo Cars & Comics, there were eight concours classes, including three anniversary categories. One of the many highlights was a 1953 Siata 300 BS Bertone that took first place in the Carrozzeria Italiana Post-War class. Among the winners favoured by the expert jury led by Erik Kinat was a 1913 Hispano-Suiza Alfonso XIII, which was awarded Special Mention. Overall Best of Show, though, went to the ex-1973 Barcelona Motor Show Citroën SM Opéra 3/7, built in 1972, as shown in Antwerp by passionate collector Thierry Dehaeck. The event comprised both a Tour of Elegance and the Concours d’Elegance, and for the first time included an intimate auction in aid of Bednet, a free online education service that enables bedridden students to connect via video with their classmates.

Lange & Söhne Charity The King’s Trust Next year September 4-6, 2026 Website concoursofelegance.co.uk

HELD OVER THREE DAYS IN THE gardens of Hampton Court Palace in southwest London, the 14th Concours of Elegance saw over 15,000 guests enjoy a spectacular display of competition and road cars representing more than 100 years of automotive history. Celebrating 75 years of the Formula 1 World Championship, a stunning line-up of F1 cars graced the front of the palace, book-ended by two Mercedes-Benz: the ex-Fangio W 196 R and the 2014 F1 W05. Adding to the visual delights were 14 of Stuttgart’s and Maranello’s finest road and race cars, all belonging to this year’s featured (private) collector. The Best in Show winner, voted for by the concours car owners themselves, was an extraordinary 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I known as ‘The Phantom of

Love’. Collector and broker Simon Kidston was awarded Spirit of the Concours for his dedication to restoring his late uncle’s 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C ‘Boulogne’ Short Chassis Saloon. Meanwhile, Decades and Special Award winners included a superb 1904 Peugeot Type 64B, which won the women-only Levitt Concours; the Bentley Heritage Collection’s 1930 8 Litre Weymann saloon (Manufacturer Award); and a svelte 1957 BMW 507 Roadster that triumphed in the 1950s class. With exceptional sponsor showcases and hospitality, and an incredible array of cars from F1 winners to nearmythical one-off bespoke commissions on display, there’s no doubt that the 2025 Concours of Elegance will live long in the memory of all who attended.

Hampton Court Palace is one of the most historic concours venues globally.

THE RADNOR HUNT CONCOURS celebrated the event’s 28th anniversary with a weekend of automotive entertainment that kicked off on the Friday night with a barbecue and a first look at the latest sports and exotic cars in the sponsor’s courtyard. Saturday’s programme included Cars and Coffee on the equestrian grounds and the Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally, which saw competitors split into Classic and Sports classes, with trophies and prizes awarded to both the driver and the navigator of each winning car. Evening festivities consisted of cocktails and a silent auction, before a black-tie dinner at the Radnor Hunt clubhouse. Sunday’s concours comprised a carefully curated display of 100 cars that included the first-ever gathering of all four marques manufactured by Moon: namely, Moon, Windsor, Diana and Ruxton. Best of Show went to Don and Patt Bernstein with their 1939 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet, while Irwin Kroiz took home the Best of Show Sport award for his 1969 Stars and Stripes BFG Greenwood Corvette. Thomas Amzynski collected Best of Show Motorcycle with his 1978 Ducati 900 SS. As always, the concours was complemented by a horsedrawn carriage drive to the show grounds, the MotorSport Park with over 200 specialinterest cars adjacent to the show field, a large display of vintage pedal cars and the popular running of the fox hounds with riders in full hunting regalia. Finally, the Best of Show vehicles were also fanfared by the hunt master with the traditional hunt horn, capping off the celebration in appropriate style.

MARKING ITS 11TH STAGING IN 2025, Canada’s premier automotive event, the annual Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance, was held in perfect conditions against the scenic backdrop of Georgian Bay on the Cobble Beach Golf Resort’s 18th fairway. The concours showcased 125 cars, many of which are seldom seen. They included the 1963 Buick custom-built by GM in Oshawa for then-Prime Minister Lester B Pearson, Bill Gates’ ‘Show or Display’ Porsche 959, and Peter Boyle’s 1938 Steyr 220 Roadster, which was declared Best of Show. One of just two surviving examples, the Steyr – with art deco body styling by Gläser – was a star of the 1938 Berlin Motor Show. Away from the display itself, the weekend was filled with additional activities such as a Tour d’Elegance,

open only to concours participants, where the cars travelled through regional roads to Owen Sound, Oliphant, Wiarton and Big Bay. A Cars and Coffee event on Saturday welcomed vehicles of 25 years and older in downtown Owen Sound, while the nearby Concours d’Lemons showcased the quirky side of automotive culture. “This was our 11th and best show ever,” said chairman and founder Rob McLeese. “The fully judged concours event has attracted the best collector vehicles from 12 US states and nine Canadian provinces. We are proud that the show has raised more than $1.125 million for charities, and likely raised another $100,000 this year.” Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance continues to impress with high-level organisation and quality entries.

Besides the concours, the event included a Tour d’Elegance on local roads.

In fact, it was a good year overall for Alfa Romeo owners, with a Falco-bodied 1914 20/30HP and a 1947 6C 2500 Sport by Pinin Farina winning the Evolutionary Pioneers and the Special Coachwork Post-War classes, respectively. The quality and breadth of vehicles on display was truly exceptional. Some of the many highlights included the 1904 White Steamer D RET that won the Most Original award, the 1913 HispanoSuiza 15T Alfonso XIII that won the Challenge Cup Autosport, and the Junior Jury award-winning 1949 TalbotLago T26 Grand Sport by Barou.

Among the ‘younger’ categories, a 1990 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary in original Arancio Miura paint won Sports Cars of the ’80s and ’90s, while a 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile took the German Engineering of the 1970s class. The event again saw the popular Pre-War Sprint, at which enthusiastic crowds enjoyed vintage cars ripping past in a flurry of mud and noise, while both vintage models and more modern rally machines took on the challenging Trial Experience section. Additional displays of road cars on the concours field and Spykers of all ages were an enthusiast’s delight, helping to make the second Wheels Mariënwaerdt a weekend of classic and modern motoring excellence.

A vintage Bugatti straighteight engine never fails to draw a crowd.

HELD ONCE AGAIN IN GOLDEN sunlight on the promenade of Lungolago di Ascona alongside Lake Maggiore, the 2025 Ascona Classic Car Award (ACCA) was an automotive treat. And, while the organisers try to downplay the competition, saying that just “being there and enjoying it is the most important thing”, going home with a prize ranks pretty high to most. Notably small gaps between the points awarded by the jury, led by Roberto Bernasconi, pointed to a highquality field, something confirmed by a glance around the promenade. From examples of Lancia’s legendary rally machines and unusual British sports cars to American C2 Corvettes and prewar jewels, the line-up was both eclectic

and intriguing – the ‘Special Guest’ was a 2008 Holden SV6 pick-up. Overall, the Best of Show award was presented to the 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi belonging to René Ruch, which also won the 1970s & 1980s Class. Urs Vollenweider’s 1913 Buchet C took the pre-war honours, while victory in the 1950s & 1960s Class went to a 1954 Sunbeam Alpine S Mk1, just ahead of a 1954 Porsche 356 Pre-A 1500. Hans Klauser’s popular 1962 Austin-Healey MkII was voted audience favourite. The ACCA and its ZCCA sister event don’t chase large entry numbers or pack their programmes with myriad activities; instead they create wonderfully relaxed days of automotive elegance that are easily accessed and enjoyed by all.

Sunshine and a beautiful lakeside location: what more could you want?

FROM ITS DEBUT IN 1996, THE Ironstone Concours d’Elegance has been about far more than a grand gathering of classic and vintage collector cars. Over the past 29 years, more than $1 million has been raised in support of Central and Northern California youth in agriculture, including Future Farmers of America and 4-H youth activities. The 2025 edition was held once again on the 1100-acre estate of the Ironstone Vineyards Winery and Historic Museum in the small Gold Rush town of Murphys, California. As usual, the show featured more than 300 pre-1974 automobiles including classic, vintage, antique and race machinery, vintage trailers and commercial/military vehicles, as well as agricultural engines and modern exotics.

In an exhilarating show of dust and daring, Ironstone’s unique quarter-mile dirt track again hosted a multiple-lap race of pre-1920s racing cars. Following the passing earlier this year of Ironstone Concours d’Elegance board member Wayne Craig, the circuit is now known as the Wayne Craig Race Track. Away from the excitement of the track, visitors enjoyed an Amphicar demonstration in the lake, great food and wine, and exceptional cars such as Paul and Tere Carrubba’s Best of Showwinning 1964 Aston Martin DB5. A quality automotive event with an enviable atmosphere, the Ironstone Concours continues to deliver. Next year’s 30th anniversary event is bound to be even more memorable.

No mistaking the location for this delectable display of 1960s Mustangs.

THE PALAZZO DI VARIGNANA welcomed collectors, jurors and enthusiasts for the third edition of the Concorso d’Eleganza Varignana 1705 in a celebration of automotive excellence, Italian lifestyle and cultural heritage. Thirty-seven rare and significant cars competed across six classes, evaluated by an international jury chaired by historian and author Stefano Pasini. Best of Show was awarded to the unique 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Berlinetta Pinin Farina. Owned by celebrated Italian collector Corrado Lopresto, it is reported to have been the very first car to feature dual headlights on each side. Elad Shraga’s 1955 Ferrari 121 LM, an ultra-rare Lampredi-powered racing car of which only four were built, received

both the People’s Choice Award and the Special Prize from the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, while the Chairman’s Award was presented to an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Cabriolet Pinin Farina owned by Björn Schmidt. The 2025 edition introduced Classic Car Talks, a forum of conversations on sustainability, motor sport tradition and the investment potential of historic cars. “In just three years, the Concorso d’Eleganza Varignana 1705 has grown into a true celebration of excellence, where cars, culture and lifestyle meet,” said Carlo Gherardi, founder of Palazzo di Varignana. “We are proud to have established an international stage where automotive artistry is not only preserved but also shared with new generations.”

Spectacular scenery makes Palazzo di Varignana the ideal location for a worldclass concours.

FORTUNATELY, THE HEAVY RAIN held off on Saturday until the grand finale of the St Michaels Concours d’Elegance Motoring Tour. It terms of entries, it was the largest one yet, with the cars stretching for an astonishing quarter of a mile. This spectacular event, masterfully escorted by the Maryland State Police, allowed the motorcade to explore historic sites while enjoying a scenic drive through the charming landscapes of Queen Anne’s County. A breathtaking dawn on Sunday greeted visitors for the 18th Annual St Michaels Concours d’Elegance on the shores of Chesapeake Bay, where RollsRoyce took centre stage as the Grand Marque. Despite a few scattered puddles, there were high spirits during the dawn

patrol. Along the magnificent waterfront grounds of the Kent Island Yacht Club, the iconic Rolls-Royce Phantom was showcased, along with a special class of De Tomaso supercars and an invitational line-up of illustrious racing Corvettes. Highlighting this superb collection of rolling sculpture was the Winners’ Circle, which honoured past Best in Show winners from St Michaels and other acclaimed events such as Cincinnati, Greenwich, Radnor Hunt and Amelia Island. The day peaked with a remarkable celebration of classic wooden speedboats, while locally sourced cuisine, fine wines and Champagne all helped to draw a record crowd eager to experience this most unforgettable of events.

Classic wooden speedboats added a fitting nautical aspect to the concours’ yachtclub location.

SPECTATORS AND EXHIBITORS unanimously declared the hugely successful 14th annual Boston Cup Classic Car Show the best edition to date. The goal for chairman Richard Doucette has always been to present a different kind of car event, and being fortunate enough to hold it in the historic Boston Common – the oldest park in America – is a great advantage. Another event differentiator is free entry for all visitors. You’ll pay to access the lunch menu, of course – which this year included lobster rolls – but there’s no charge to get close to the cars. On top of that, The Boston Cup awards process works differently to most. Each entrant votes for one car in each class, with the most popular car

then winning its class. It’s an approach that, for example, gives an entrant’s Volkswagen Beetle a stronger chance to compete against a prize Mercedes-Benz Gullwing for German class honours. Along with classes for Supercars, German, British, Italian and American cars, a Japanese class was added for 2025. Quite appropriately, it was Josh Sweeny’s kei car icon, the Autozam (also known as the Mazda) AZ-1, that proved most popular of all. Along with the Best of Show trophy, organisers also awarded Sweeny a bespoke blazer from Alan Rouleau Couture. With its great cars, strong organisation and family-friendly atmosphere, The Boston Cup remains the premier classic car event in this part of the country.

Jack Child’s gorgeous 1956 Corvette came second in the American class.

ONCE AGAIN HELD AT ‘THE Breakers’ mansion – the most famous of the ‘Newport Cottages’ and former home of the Vanderbilt family – the Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance featured 184 historic vintage vehicles from across the US and Europe. These rolling rarities were paraded onto the lawn at dawn and were evaluated by 70 prominent judges from four countries on a beautiful October Sunday. A magnificent, unrestored 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 ‘Rimoldi’ Corto Spyder, owned by Chris MacAllister, won its class before also securing Best of Show honours. “Owners like Chris play a vital role in ensuring that these remarkable vehicles continue to be celebrated for generations to come,” said Audrain Group president Nic Waller.

Another notable victory was the 1965 Triumph Spitfire Mk2 of Stephen and James Russell, which clinched the prestigious People’s Choice prize. Among several special awards given were the Most Elegant Award to Tom Maoli for his 1938 Talbot-Lago T150 C Lago Speciale Teardrop Coupé, the Timeless Luxury Award to Mary and Ted Stahl for their 1932 Rohr F8 Streamliner Sedan, and the Founder’s Award to Fritz Burkard for his 1937 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante Roll-Back Coupé. The Simeone Award for Historic Presence went to Rob Kauffman for his 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Brianza Le Mans Spider. The next Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance will be held on October 4, 2026, as part of that year’s Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week.

The 2025 edition featured an expanded line-up of judged classes representing a wide spectrum of eras, marques and craftsmanship. Bruce McCaw’s 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680S Barker Tourer was awarded Best of Show, Pre-War, while the 1951 Ferrari 212 Export of Brian and Kimberly Ross took overall honours in the Post-War category. Among the many outstanding class and specialty award winners, Jonathan and Wendy Segal’s beautiful 1955 Maserati A6GCS won the Maserati Trident class along with the Most Elegant Post-War Award, while a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster belonging to the William Lyon family was awarded Most Elegant Pre-War. Additional highlights included a 20th anniversary celebration gathering of no fewer than 46 Bugatti Veyrons, along with unprecedented displays of more than 40 Paganis and 230 Lamborghinis of all ages. There were also debuts for the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster, the McLaren Project: Endurance and the Lanzante 95-59, among others. Since its 2022 debut, Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has quickly become a benchmark event that is helping to redefine the modern concours.

THE KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN HAS a long history of motoring enthusiasm, with the region’s first motoring club, the Bahrain Car Club, formed in 1952. Five decades later, Bahrain Crown Prince and Prime Minister HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa was behind the construction of the Bahrain International Circuit, bringing Formula 1 to the Gulf. It was the Prince’s enthusiasm for cars that inspired the formation of the Royal Bahrain Concours, run by Thorough Events, which also organises the Concours of Elegance, the Concours of Elegance Tegernsee and the London Concours. The inaugural event took place at the Royal Golf Club, Bahrain, a 20-minute drive from the capital city of Manama. Although the local automotive culture is

more geared towards modern supercars and hypercars, there are still plenty of classics in the area, and at least 80 percent of the concours cars were from Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The rest were shipped in from the UK and Europe by Thorough Events faithfuls such as Fritz Burkard and Dr Jörg Wolle. In addition to the concours, a wide variety of classics of all ages and genres turned up for the club displays, different on each day, adjacent to the showfield. The Crown Prince was intricately involved in every aspect, right down to the locations of the various class line-ups. He, and many members of his family and government and special guest the King of Malaysia, all attended, enthusiastically chatting to owners and visitors.

Aerial view shows a portion of the expansive concours field, stretching well beyond the visible foreground area, plus a large field full of club cars to the right.
