Welcome IS IT JUST me, or have collector car events become even better this year?

Maybe it’s down to the pent-up demand, maybe the chance for organisers to have taken some thinking time during the pandemic, or perhaps it’s simply the joy of seeing old friends again, but every single concours I’ve been to in 2021 has been better than ever before. And I don’t think I’m the only one to have thought that.

I don’t want to sound glib though, because the terrible side to what’s been going on is that we’ve lost some good friends in this world to COVID-19, including Chattanooga’s Jim Pace, who didn’t get to see how successful the event he helped to launch before the pandemic has become.

We’ve also lost events that just couldn’t survive the enforced lay-up. In the UK, Paul Mathers was separated from his family in Australia for months during lockdown, only for the concours he’d worked so hard to launch – Auto Royale – to be canned at the 11th hour. Less importantly in the grand scheme of things, very few of us have managed to travel between Europe and the US for events this year, which has not only separated friends and colleagues but also kept important cars away.

But the events that took place... well, they’ve been amazing. Greenwich, Amelia Island, Salon Privé, Hampton Court, Zoute and many more have grown in size and innovation, and Pebble Beach finally got to mark its 70th anniversary in suitably fine style. All are celebrated in these pages. I hope you enjoy browsing through them and soaking up the remarkable cars on show.

Welcome WELCOME TO THE third edition of The Concours Year, the definitive yearbook for the world’s finest concours d’elegance events. As a long-time concours judge, an occasional exhibitor and a full-time car enthusiast, I am thrilled to introduce this year’s edition.

For us, 2021 was a welcome return to normal after a year that saw many events cancelled due to COVID-19. Many worried that our little slice of the car world would never again be the same. Fortunately, we were wrong – and in a big way. Events returned with a bang, as did fans. Pebble Beach celebrated its 70th anniversary with one of its best concours ever. Hagerty announced the acquisition of the Amelia Island Concours and the Concours of America.

Expect exciting updates to both for 2022 that expand their appeal while respecting their traditions. And in late October, Hagerty debuted as an events company, with a successful 25th-anniversary edition of the Greenwich Concours, twice delayed by the pandemic. The reviews were fantastic, and we learned a lot that we’ll apply to the next show, in early June 2022.

In The Concours Year you’ll find full reports on all of this and more, along with the usual superb photography. This edition also reflects… growth! Yes, the concours world grew this year, with the new St Moritz Motorsport Rendezvous and others. You’ll also find reports on a few concours not previously featured, including France’s Dinard Elegance and the Antwerp Concours.

I would say I hope you enjoy this year’s edition, but I already know that you will. Here’s to an even better 2022. Onward and upward!

2 021 HIGHLIGH TS

WELL THAT WAS quite a year, wasn’t it! Time seems to have both expanded and contracted during the pandemic; it certainly feels an inordinately long time since we were on the edges of our seats, wondering whether or not Pebble Beach would finally get to celebrate its 70th anniversary, Villa d’Este would really take place in October rather than its scheduled May dates, and if the UK Government would allow events such as the Concours of Elegance and Salon Privé to take place at all.

This year started with the by-then-familiar uncertainty about whether we’d actually even have an events season, although in Australia the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance was able to glide smoothly through its long weekend of activities.

The usual US season openers – Cavallino Classic, Boca Raton, Amelia Island et al – had no such luck, although some were able to reschedule to later in the year. And in the UK and Europe the same was happening, with a few of the premier events moved backwards in the calendar.

The result was an incredibly busy period from mid-summer to early autumn – and what was remarkable was that the majority of the events turned out bigger and better than ever.

Some of this was due to event organisers having used the enforced lay-up to plan bigger and better, or simply to put two years’ worth of improvements into one year.

One of the most significant upgrades was to Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace, UK, the former home of Winston Churchill. The organisers, headed by brothers David and Andrew Bagley, have progressively developed both the concours and the surrounding events. For 2021, the Supercar Sunday element expanded once more and this time included an all-new rally sprint – which next year will broaden into a full-blown rally stage. The Bagleys also announced an additional all-new London event to take place at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in April 2022.

Thorough Events’ London Concours at the Honourable Artillery Company HQ was also developed, with an extra day added to include a new influx of supercars. This proved so popular with the city crowd that it will continue into 2022. Thorough’s other major event, the Concours of Elegance Hampton Court, also grew, showing its biggest and best line-up of concours cars as well as a special display of models representing every year of HM Queen Elizabeth’s life to honour her 95th birthday.

In Belgium the Zoute Grand Prix, which incorporates rallies, a Bonhams auction and a concours, has also continued to grow, attracting the cream of European collectors. In contrast, the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este on the shores of Lake Como was a smaller affair this year, with fewer attendees due to COVID-19 restrictions – despite having moved from May to October. Despite that, it still attracted some of the very best cars from around the world, as ever. It was complemented by the neighbouring Fuori Concorso event, now in its third year and its second at Lake Como.

Canossa Events’ recent takeover of Cavallino Classic (and the Motorsport Network’s ownership of Canossa) has resulted in an expansion of the Cavallino brand. In addition to the longestablished all-Ferrari concours in Palm Beach, Florida, a new Modena, Italy edition took place in June and a planned UAE edition was due to occur after The Concours Year had gone to print. We’re sad to have missed that one.

The excellent Bernina Gran Turismo hillclimb, in the Swiss

Alps, was joined this year by a new concours, Motorsport Rendezvous, to form the basis of a revived St Moritz Automobile Week. The first event was relatively low key, but it is likely to grow for 2022. Perhaps the best news from Europe, though, is that the sublime Chantilly Arts & Elegance will return for 2022.

And in the US? Aside from the 70th anniversary Pebble Beach, the big news was Hagerty adding both the Concours of America and the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance to its expanding roster of events – having bought Greenwich Concours from the Wennerstrom family only months before the pandemic hit. For 2021, it was more or less business as usual for Concours of America and Amelia Island as the Hagerty team learnt the ropes – and for anyone wondering, everyone’s favourite concours organiser, Amelia Island’s Bill Warner, is still heavily involved and still performing the remarkable feat of introducing every judge and reading out the long list of winners.

Despite Hagerty having owned the Greenwich Concours since 2019, this was the first year it was able to run the event, and even then it had to be moved from its usual June slot to October. If you’re not on the US East Coast, it’s perhaps too easy to overlook Greenwich Concours, but it was always a huge show – and now it’s grown again under Hagerty’s stewardship, with this year’s event debuting a new motoring festival on the Saturday, including Concours d’Lemons celebrating the [cough] ‘less appreciated’ vehicles, RADwood bringing in younger owners with their classics of the 1980s and ’90s and Porschella by CarPark gathering up some of the region’s best modified Porsches. Hagerty says there’s more to come, including a move to a new location.

So there’s been a lot to celebrate, but there’s no guarantee all the events that had to be postponed this year will make it through to 2022 – it’s been touch and go for so many during the pandemic. As we mentioned in the Welcome page, Auto Royale in the UK came close to running in 2021 after cancellation in 2020, but the commercial response wasn’t quite there, and it had to be canned only weeks away from the planned event. Much, much worse was the death from COVID-19 of Jim Pace, who put so much work into 2019’s inaugural Chattanooga Motorcar Festival – for 2021 the event grew significantly and named the historic motor sport element as the Pace Grand Prix.

And, of course, throughout the first half of 2021 there was always the worry that none of the events would be able to run, with the biggest focus on Monterey Week and particularly Pebble Beach. Would it, wouldn’t it? There was huge pressure on the Pebble Beach team, because without the premier concours what would become of the others? When California’s strict lockdown eased, Pebble Beach announced that it would go ahead with its delayed 70th anniversary celebrations – although very few non-Americans were able to gain entry to the US, so certain classes that depended on European entries have been postponed until 2022.

Not that it was lacking in star turns; celebrations of Porsche 917, Countach, Pininfarina, the Pebble Beach Road Races and La Carrera Panamericana among others would have been enough – but the concours also brought together 38 previous Best of Show winners for arguably the greatest line-up of all time.

And for 2022? We’re all hoping for a good year, of course – and further on in these pages you can read about some of the expected highlights.

THEY SAY THAT good things come to those who wait. It certainly felt like that on the concours lawns in 2021. After a bleak couple of years for the entire events industry, not least the world of concours, the easing of restrictions in some locations meant that demand for tickets far outstripped supply for the events that did take place.

Many events weren’t so lucky in 2021, and we may have lost some for good – or at least until further notice. The good news is that many organisers who had to shelve their 2021 plans are raring to go for 2022, with dates already in the diary and minds full of ways to entice and excite.

The lure of the concours crowd hasn’t been lost on manufacturers and big business. Classic car concours are now seen as a must-attend for auto-makers as diverse as Volvo and Lamborghini. Hagerty, too, has increased its involvement in several concours. Despite the many challenges faced by the collector car world, these events are as popular as ever.

As you’ll see elsewhere in The Concours Year, a new, younger audience is bringing a different approach to the concours world. The likes of RADwood and LeMons are partnering more with traditional concours, prompting an increasingly diverse range of cars.

However, there are some traditional classics celebrating big anniversaries in 2022, with two of the most heralded supercars of their respective eras set to go head-to-head for concours judges’ affections.

The Ferrari 250GTO was Maranello’s answer to the GT racing competition from Jaguar, Aston Martin and Shelby, and would prove to be devastatingly effective on its launch, 60 years ago in 2022. Today, it’s the most valuable model in the world, with one example selling for $70m a few years ago. Just 36 were produced between

1962 and 1964 – expect to see a sizeable number of those on display in 2022.

Some 30 years later came a car built to similar perfectionist ideals, although its motor sport career was a by-product rather than its reason for being. The McLaren F1 held the title of the fastest road car in the world, but its shock win at Le Mans in 1995 catapulted the car to legendary status. Keeping things Le Mansflavoured, it’s also 40 years since Porsche’s famous 1-2-3 at La Sarthe with the 956.

Other cars celebrating notable anniversaries include two German models from very different ends of the automotive spectrum. Stuttgart’s engineering minds were on top form in 1972, evidenced by the Porsche Carrera 2.7 RS and the definitive W116-generation Mercedes-Benz S-class. Both would prove highly influential both inside and outside their respective makers, and the ideals each car expressed are still tightly woven into each manufacturer’s DNA today.

There’s plenty more on the anniversary front – 1952 saw the formation of Austin-Healey, while Shelby American roared into existence in 1962, and 1972 saw the competition debut of the Lancia Stratos; expect all three to feature highly on concours hit-lists across the world.

Individual concours will have their own specialities, too – the pandemic hit Pebble Beach’s plans for a Talbot-Lago Grand Sport class in 2021, as most of the cars were restricted by travel issues. That class returns for 2022 and should be a spectacular sight.

With the world opening up, major sponsors increasing their presence and an evolving concours demographic, 2022 could very well be a landmark year. Here’s hoping!

THE NEW BIZZARRINI 5300 GT REVIVAL CORSA CELEBRATES THE AUTOMOTIVE LEGACY OF GIOTTO BIZZARRINI The cars built by the engineer Giotto Bizzarrini have become synonymous with their era. Beautifully elegant, with a master’s sense of proportion and poise, the cars built by Bizzarrini were also hugely capable on both road and track.

The ultimate expression of race-bred engineering, these masterpieces possess the intangible spirit of the true sports car. Now the most iconic car to bear the Bizzarrini name, the 5300 GT, is being reborn for a new era.

The return of Bizzarrini is a new chapter in Italian automotive history. The reborn company is especially proud to be returning to small scale, highly specialised manufacturing to underpin the introduction of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Revival Corsa 24/65. Overseen by Chief Executive Officer Christopher Sheppard, also Director of Aston Martin Works Ltd., the company will use the original blueprint drawings to create an authentic model that meets FIA Specifications for international historic racing. Working in a dedicated new factory in Northamptonshire in partnership with acclaimed specialists RML, the 5300 GT

Revival Corsa combines original engineering drawings with new technology, including meticulous A-surface scans and new CAD imagery for remanufactured components.

True authenticity is an elusive concept in the world of working historic racing cars. Even the most famous and high-profile cars were subjected to a constant programme of changes, modifications, repairs and component substitutions, often on a weekly basis. Yet at some point in its life, a car’s identity inevitably becomes fixed and immutable.

Of the 133 examples of the 5300 GT built between 1964 and 1968, no two were identical.

Despite the existence of several Bizzarrini registers, no-one is 100% certain of the number of surviving cars; the only authentic truth is the brilliance and boldness of Giotto Bizzarrini’s original design. In addition to a meticulous nut-and-bolt deconstruction of the 5300 GT in our collection the company has been able to examine other surviving examples, including the most famous car of all, the class winner of the highly eventful 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.

It is this car, driven to victory by French drivers Régis Fraissinet and Jean de Mortemart, which forms the blueprint of the Revival series. “In a sense, our engineers have been peeling back layers of automotive history,” says Sheppard, “Many details have changed or evolved over the years.

For example, the first race cars had a single wing-mounted mirror to the driver’s side, the brake vent details were different, as were the reflectors.

We also discovered that, although the original race car bonnets were made from

moulded composite with racing bonnet latches, some were subsequently replaced with aluminium examples.” Bizzarrini’s engineers have been tasked with exploring and examining these myriad differences to create a limited series production car representing the essence of the ultimate 5300 GT. To create an authentic revival is to go back to first principles and focus on the mechanical and technological recipe that served as the basis for this timeless spirit. In his heyday, Giotto Bizzarrini was working at the very limits of contemporary engineering, in an age before wind tunnels or any digital assistance whatsoever. For example, the 5300 GT made extensive use of fibreglass, the strongest lightweight material of its day. The first version of the Revival Corsa will be built to FIA

Appendix K spec for Historic racing and includes a one-piece glass fibre body. However, had it been available, Bizzarrini would almost certainly have deployed carbon fibre in his racing cars, which is IN CLASS why the 5300 GT will1 also be offered with a full carbon fibre bodyshell for those customers who do not need to conform to Historic Racing regulations. Other modifications have been made with safety, and racing rules, in mind. The original car’s fuel tanks were located deep in the sills, as well as behind the driver. This arrangement has been amended so that a contemporary fuel tank system is placed behind the driver only, marginally reducing the overall capacity, but with a range that remains well within the requirements of a multiple round race series. st

Inside, the Revival car will reflect the purity of the original stripped-down racing machine, with painted roof and door cards, and a strictly functional dashboard, using a bank of duckbill toggle switches as per the original design drawings.

“The car will be engineered to meet Appendix K FIA regulations,” says Sheppard, “but we will also be able to respect the desire of some of our owners who want to drive these spectacular cars on the road.” For Bizzarrini, the process of creating the 24 examples of the 5300 GT Revival will be a true test of craftsmanship, but also a chance to demonstrate the far-sighted skills and intuition of Bizzarrini, the man who was central to the development of the Ferrari 250 GTO, and who went on to design Lamborghini’s first V12 engine.

The return of Bizzarrini is anchored by the newly formed company’s ownership of a substantial archive and heritage fleet. Consisting of a rare

aluminium bodied early Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada, along with a Bizzarrini P538 V12 and Bizzarrini P578 V8, the heritage fleet is also supported by the Fiat 684 racing transporter and Fiat 238 ‘Scuderia Bizzarrini’ van, finished in original Bizzarrini racing livery.

Giotto Bizzarrini did not build racing cars as vessels for feelings or emotions; he built cars to win. These qualities were simply the by-products of his designs, conjured into being by the lightweight body, the curvaceous Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed bodywork, and the tried and tested muscle of Chevrolet’s V8, not to mention the skill and dedication of the drivers who were committed to finding the limits, again and again and again.

Competitive motor sport has a vast accumulation of history, imbuing every racing machine with unique and irrevocable connections. An individual racing car becomes a finite object, defined not just by its performance, but by the races, drivers and results it has achieved.

To build a limited series revival of such an iconic sports car is a hugely intensive process. The reborn Bizzarrini is dedicated to ensuring the ethos of innovation, creation, sales@bizzarrini.com and competition will press@bizzarrini.com continue to endure : @bizzarrinidesign in the 5300GT www.bizzarrini.com Revival Corsa.

CONCEPT LAWN 2 02 1

CONCE P T L AWN 2 0 2 1 The past year has seen more manufacturers take to the concours lawns to display their latest wares. Here are some of our favourites WOR D S NAT H AN C H ADW IC K

THE CONCEPT CAR used to be the preserve of the indoor motor show, where each design house would scramble for attention next to the latest new hatchback.

However, with the decline of big motor shows over recent years further exacerbated by COVID-19, manufacturers big and small have taken to the classic world to show off their most extravagant creations. After all, the classics of the past are unburdened by increasingly tight legislation and prescriptive public appetites – where better to let imagination run wild with new cars?

Some are thoroughly of the now – models such as the Pininfarina Battista not only look cutting edge,

but use EV powertrains to deliver performance that truly staggers the mind. Alternatively, some, such as the Hispano Suiza Carmen, blend an older aesthetic with bang-upto-date motive power.

This year has also seen a raft of what might be called resto-mods – but these go far beyond a suspension kit and a loud exhaust system. Examples such as GTO Engineering’s take on the 250GT California display the work of true artisans, while Everrati goes one step further by bringing EV tech to the familiar shapes of the Porsche 964, Land Rover and Ford GT40.

Whatever your personal view of the future, there’s a concept car to suit you...

LEFT Everrati’s latest conversion to electric power is this GT40 replica.

AURA Funded by the UK Government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, the Aura’s aim was to create Britain’s first long-range EV, with the result being 400 miles from a pair of 44kWh battery packs. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) pinpoints usage accurate to within 0.5 percent of range.

and assembled with IMECAR Elektronik. The electric powertrain will feature four motors with a total peak power of 2040bhp and a range of 323 miles. The use of solid-state cells alongside lithium batteries helps to keep weight down to below 1500kg, meaning the Fulminea should blast from 0-200mph in less than ten seconds.

AUTOMOBILI ESTREMA FULMINEA The Fulminea aims to be the first street-legal hypercar to be equipped with a hybrid battery pack that uses a combination of Avesta Battery Energy Engineering solid-state cells paired with ultracapacitors, which will be engineered

BMW i4 The i4 is a vitally important car for BMW – its four-door Gran Coupé layout is a similar size to that of the 3-series, putting it into battle against the Tesla Model 3. A superslim 81kWh lithium-ion battery nestles beneath the passenger cell, and two versions are being offered

at launch. The rear-drive eDrive40 produces 355bhp, while the highperformance M50 has a rearbiased xDrive four-wheel-drive system and 537bhp. That allows the latter to fire itself from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. Both cars have a recharging rate of 200kW, which means the battery can be replenished from ten to 80 percent in as little as 31 minutes.

BYTON M-BYTE/K-BYTE This M-Byte is Chinese firm Byton’s pure-electric SUV. It comes with a choice of two- or four-wheel drive, with 268bhp and 402bhp respectively. The entry-level model has a 71kWh battery with a 224mile range, while the 95kWh

version increases the range to 286 miles. It lays claim to having the world’s largest in-car display for a production model, at 48 inches.

The M-Byte is just the start, with a K-Byte saloon in the works, as well as seven-seat SUV. CADILLAC LYRIQ Cadillac’s first all-electric EV has proved immediately popular – it sold out its US allocation for 2022 in a mere 20 minutes. A 100kWh battery pack powers the rearwheel-drive platform, with 340bhp and 325lb ft of torque. According to Cadillac, the 190kW fast-charging system can garner an estimated 122km in ten minutes, while its range is estimated to be more than

480km. Over 200,000 people have expressed an interest in the car, which will be built at GM’s plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

EVERRATI 911/ GT40/LAND ROVER Everrati restores classic cars and installs EV drivetrains, all without damaging the external looks of the donor nor the mounting points for the original drivetrain. The 964based 911 has 440bhp-500bhp, while the Superperformance GT40 model develops 800bhp. The Land Rover Series IIA is a little less potent, with 150bhp. This is still more than twice that of the original ICE vehicle – meaning you can get from 0-60mph twice as fast.

FISKER OCEAN Henrik Fisker, the man who made his name styling the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage, and pioneered the plug-in hybrid premium car with the eponymous Karma, has a brand-new project.

The Ocean is an all-electric SUV, built in conjunction with Magna Steyr. It uses an 80kWh battery pack, offering between 250 and 300 miles of range. There’s an electric motor mounted on each axle, which provides a combined output of 302bhp, although an entry-level rear-drive-only version is planned as well as a highperformance model. The car will be available via subscription service in some markets.

CONCEPT LAWN 2 02 1

‘Whatever your view of the future, there’s a concept to suit you’

GENESIS ESSENTIA Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury arm, has made waves with its SUVs and saloons, but the Essentia concept is somewhat different. Designed

by Luc Donckerwolke, whose CV boasts the Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago, has crafted this svelte, carbonfibre-bodied coupé with butterfly doors. Although there’s some debate as to whether we will ever have the chance to buy this EV, performance is said to be brisk (sub-three seconds to 60mph), and certain elements look production ready. Here’s hoping…

HISPANO SUIZA CARMEN Hispano Suiza is a name more readily associated with elegant classic cars, but the Art Decoinfluenced Carmen is definitely of the now. It’s an all-electric hypercar with 1180lb ft of torque – around the same as a Bugatti Chiron – and 1099bhp. The 80kWh battery pack uses nifty torque-vectoring tech to deliver power to all four wheels. It has a 250-mile range and can be recharged from 30 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Getting to 60mph is much quicker, in just two seconds.

BELOW C-type Continuation is based on the 1953 Le Mans victor.

ISO RIVOLTA GT ZAGATO Most cars go from physical reality to computer-game immortality, yet the Rivolta GTZ did the opposite.

It was originally included as a Gran Turismo downloadable car, but such was its popularity Zagato

and the Rivolta family joined forces to bring it to life. Although the exterior pays homage to the 1963 ISO A3 Berlinetta, the drivetrain is absolutely of the 21st century. A Chevrolet Corvette C7 has served up a supercharged V8 capable of 660bhp, 650lb ft of torque and a top speed in excess of 185mph.

JAGUAR C-TYPE CONTINUATION The C-type is a cornerstone of Jaguar motor-racing lore – although the marque had seen some success with the XK120, 1951’s victory at Le Mans made waves around the world. For 1953, the car was upgraded, lightened and fitted with Dunlop disc brakes so good that the Le Mans organisers considered banning them – they didn’t, and Jaguar won the race. Now the firm has announced 16 Continuation cars based on the 1953 Le Mans victor, built using the authentic drawings and engineering ledger, with 2000 parts detailed. The original car has been digitised in 3D, and each Continuation will take 1000 hours to complete.

JEEP WRANGLER MAGNETO EV The ever-popular Wrangler gets an EV makeover. Unlike many EVs, the Magneto EV’s 281bhp/273lb ft drivetrain is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, although this is likely to be replaced with a singlespeed auto. Power is stored in four

battery packs located in different locations around the drivetrain for optimal weight distribution, and encased in a waterproof enclosure – so no problems testing out the Magneto’s 30in wading abilities.

No range is quoted, but a 70kWh battery capacity would see 220 miles per charge – although this is dependent on the size of the tyres.

LAMBORGHINI HURACÁN STO Lamborghini has had a big year, with plenty of fresh carbon to tempt the eye. The STO is inspired by the Super Trofeo Evo and GT3 Evo Huracán racers, which means the marque has given the car a lightweight diet and added a trackhoned aero package to glue it to the asphalt. Power comes from a

naturally aspirated V10 engine that delivers 640bhp and a 0-62mph thrash in three seconds.

LAMBORGHINI LPI 800-4 The concept event of the year was Lamborghini’s Countach tribute on the model’s 50th anniversary.

Based on the Sián, just 112 of these 803bhp machines will be made.

The 6.5-litre V12 is augmented by a 32bhp electric motor that’s powered by a small supercapacitor, rather than a traditional battery.

The body features a carbonfibre monocoque whose aluminium subframes carry the suspension and axles. It’ll flick by 62mph in 2.8 seconds, with 124mph a memory after another six seconds and a 220mph top end. Power goes to all four wheels via a seven-speed

single-clutch automated manual ’box, and there’s rear-wheel steering, magnetic dampers for the pushrod suspension and a hyper-intelligent vehicle-dynamics system. Question is – would you rather have one with an LP500S-style rear wing?

LOTUS EMIRA Lotus says this will be its last internal-combustion-powered car, but what a way to go out. The stunning two-seater is powered by either a Mercedes-Benz AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo or a supercharged 3.5 Toyota V6. The architecture is a development of the Evora’s, but only the wheelbase is the same – the tracks are wider and the Emira is a strict two-seater.

The V6 is available with a manual or semi-auto, while the AMG is

paddle-shift only. Power outputs are said to range from 355bhp to 395bhp, with the 0-62mph sprint done and dusted in 4.5 seconds on the way to a 180mph top speed.

LUCID AIR With the Tesla Model S firmly in its sights, the 1065bhp Lucid Air claims to be the fastest-charging car on sale. Its 235mph top speed makes it the quickest production car, and it’s also said to cover the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds, an EV first. Power comes from a single electric motor to the rear wheels for the 395bhp base model with a 240-mile range.

The Touring offers 612bhp and a 406-mile range, while the Grand Touring has 789bhp. The full-fat 1065bhp model delivers power to all four wheels, and is said to have a range of 517 miles and a recharging rate of 300 miles in 20 minutes.

MASERATI MC20 Now released from the shackles of playing a supporting role to Ferrari, Maserati has struck deep into midengined supercar territory with the MC20. Its twin-turbo V6 pumps

out 621bhp to deliver 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds, with 124mph reached in less than five seconds. Its all-out 202mph is helped by a 0.38 drag co-efficient. This marks Maserati’s return to racing – GT3 battles with Ferrari will be fascinating...

MERCEDES-BENZ EQ RANGE Mercedes-Benz has made a big push into the EV space, launching the EQS S-Class-sized luxury car, and the EQV MPV and SUV in the form of the EQC and EQA. There is more to come with the EQB crossover and EQE E-Class, but the firm debuted two further EV concepts this year. First there was the Maybach EQS SUV, with a 373mile range and 650bhp from a pair of electric motors. For off-road fans, the ECG previewed an electric version of the venerable G-Class, which is due to go on sale in 2025.

MERCEDES-BENZ SLR MCLAREN BY MSO The McLaren Mercedes SLR was a thunderous meeting of automotive manufacturing minds – the ultraperformance Brits and the mighty

motive power of Stuttgart’s blown V8. This year MSO revealed this update, with a more aerodynamic bodykit, 30kg-lighter ceramiccoated exhaust, 2kg-lighter wheels and reworked intercooler. With 636bhp from the 5.4-litre V8, it represents ultimate GT excellence.

MORGAN PLUS FOUR CX-T Morgans are a fixture of Historic regularity and long-range rallies, but the brand shocked us all with its Salon Privé CX-T launch. The car is designed explicitly for overland adventures, with ground clearance raised from 120mm to 230mm, EXE-TC coilovers, bigger tyres and wheels, and a BMW xDrive fully lockable electronic diff with three drive modes. Although based on the Plus Four, it has a composite hardtop plus external and internal rollcages – yet it still keeps weight to a minimum, at 1300kg. Just eight are being built.

NISSAN 400Z The follow-up to the long-lived 370Z ups the ante considerably in its battle with the Toyota Supra

and BMW 2-series. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged V6 that kicks out 400bhp, transmitted to the asphalt by a six-speed manual gearbox or nine-speed automatic.

Body rigidity is much improved over the 370Z’s, while largerdiameter dampers and a new double-wishbone front suspension have been added to the mix, and the top-of-the-line model benefits from a limited-slip differential.

RADFORD 62-2 The brainchild of F1 champion Jenson Button, designer Mark Stubbs and broadcaster Ant Anstead, Radford is a US-based outfit that has revived the name of the British coachbuilder to deliver the 62-2, a two-seater coupé inspired by the Lotus Type 62 racer. Powered by a Toyota-derived supercharged 3.5-litre V6, the base model produces 430bhp, while the Gold Leaf version ups that to 500bhp. You have a choice of sixspeed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, with the power-to-weight ratio claimed to be 1:1. A mere 62 are being built.

RIVIAN R1S/R1T The Rivian R1T all-electric pick-up promises 300 miles of range and a 3.0-second 0-60mph sprint. Each wheel uses its own electric motor, with power pegged at 800bhp.

Adjustable air ride can move the suspension between eight and 14 inches, while the left wheels can be rotated in the opposite direction to the right ones, allowing the Rivian to spin on its axis. The R1S SUV shares many attributes, and is aimed directly at the Tesla Model X. SCUDERIA GLICKENHAUS SCG 004S James Glickenhaus took on Le Mans this year with a valiant attempt on the World Endurance Championship’s Endurance class.

Although Toyota won out in the end, Glickenhaus will still build you a supercar. The SCG 004S is powered by a 650bhp supercharged 6.2-litre V8 that’s matched with a six-speed manual gearbox, with drive being sent to the rear.

Weighing in at a mere 1200kg, this is a stunning tribute to the last great era of analogue supercars.

TOURING ARESE RH95 To celebrate its 95th birthday, coachbuilder Touring Superleggera announced the Arese RH95, a 710bhp mid-engined supercar with Ferrari F8 Tributo underpinnings.

With a carbonfibre body, scissor doors and functional, dorsal-style air intake, the newcomer blends performance with beauty to great effect. The trip from 0-62mph takes a scant three seconds, while all-out you’ll be doing 211mph. Just 18 cars are being built, with each one taking six months to complete.

ZENVO TSR-S The TSR-S is the roadgoing version of the TSR track-only car, and gives truly eye-widening performance from a twin-supercharged V8.

How does 1177bhp sound? It’ll hit 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds and twice that just four seconds later.

To keep the car in place the rear wing pivots in the centre to move its effect across the back axle, lifting its inside as the car corners to act as an aerodynamic anti-roll bar. Top speed is an electronically limited 202mph…

E-type at 60 Ve n e ra t e d E-type at 60 Respected Gorgeous Renowned E-type at 60 E-type at 60 Never forgotten The Jaguar E-type has captivated the world since it broke cover in 1961. Nathan Chadwick delves into what makes this automotive icon’s appeal so enduring

E-TYPE AT 60

F FOR ALL THE talk of the swinging 1960s, for automotive enthusiasts with an eye for glamour the playing field was rather bleak in 1961. The windswept but wonderful roadsters from Austin-Healey, MG and Triumph offered thrills with few frills.

For a heady mix of both, Aston Martin was the answer – but its models often cost the same as the average UK home.

Even the Mini Cooper was six months away when Jaguar E-type 6000 HP’s snout poked out into the Swiss gloom in front of the waiting international press on March 15, 1961. The world had never seen anything quite like the E-type, and more importantly, certainly nothing at the price Jaguar wanted for it – £2098, fixed roof or not; around half the price of an Aston DB4. It was a Geneva Motor Show sensation, with everyone from racing drivers to musicians – and almost everybody in between with the requisite two large – clamouring to get a piece of the action.

It’s a passion that has persisted over the intervening six decades, with E-types taking a starring role at concours across the world over the past year to celebrate the model’s 60th anniversary. Exquisite restorations have rubbed shoulders with beautifully preserved originals, and rough-and-tumble survivors

with great stories have shared lawns with full-bore racers.

“The heritage is enduring whether at launch or in 2021,” says Phillip Porter, Jaguar E-type Club founder and author of many books on the car. He owns 9600 HP, and this year published its life story via his Porter Press International imprint. “Even 60 years on, the E-type remains superb to drive, especially when pressing on. The performance is still exciting, the ride excellent and the reliability, if well maintained, first class, making the car very usable today. As for the sculptural beauty, that is timeless.”

Jaguar itself has long recognised the importance of arguably its most loved road car. In 2016 it built six Continuation Lightweight E-types to finish off the run of 18 proposed back in 1963. This year, Jaguar Classic announced the creation of six limited-edition matched pairs of restored 3.8 E-types inspired by 9600 HP and 77 RW, the roadster driven by Norman Dewis overnight to get to the Geneva Motor Show.

Each one features custom-designed centre consoles and other trim elements, while a specially developed close-ratio gearbox has been mated to the 3.8-litre straight-six. Inside there’s a Jaguar Classic infotainment system with satellite navigation and Bluetooth, and running has been made easier with a stainlesssteel exhaust system, electronic ignition and cooling upgrades.

In summer 2022, the six customers and their guests will take part in a Coventry-to-Geneva drive, aping the trek undertaken

by Bob Berry in 6000 HP and Norman Dewis in 77 RW. Nowadays, Coventry to Geneva is a fairly simple drive, save for traffic jams and speed cameras. Perhaps it’s easy to forget just how advanced the E-type was – built to a unitary-construction philosophy inspired by the Le Mans-winning D-types, the car was relatively light. It had independent suspension fore and aft, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and a 0-60mph time of less than six seconds and claimed top speed of 150mph. It sparked a revolution in the way cars were designed, built and marketed.

However, all of that pales in comparison to the way it looks.

“The first thing that grabs you when you see an E-type is the

pure style. It has influenced other cars, but there is nothing to compare with the original,” Porter says. It’s a view echoed by Jaguar Land Rover Classic director Dan Pink. “The looks contributed to it becoming an icon of 1960s British style, on the international stage, at a time when there was rapid social, political and cultural change in Britain. E-types were owned by ’60s icons such as Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra and Britt Ekland, and appeared in decade-defining films like The Italian Job, cementing its popularity today. There’s a cultural reference for everybody.”

However, it’s not just about looking back – it’s a car that still stands up as a driving experience, according to Porter. “The great thing about E-types is that they combine the sensual beauty with practicality,” he says. “You can use them, have immense fun and not just polish them. In the past the Jaguar E-type Club has run the Round Britain Coastal Drive, supporting Prostate Cancer UK. I did the full 4000-mile ‘lap’ in my roadster over 18 days, and it could not have been more satisfying. The car coped admirably with all conditions and all types of road.”

Pink agrees. “At launch, the E-type was well ahead of the competition – including Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, both still running drum brakes on their cars,” he says. “This modernity means it can still be enjoyed on today’s roads.”

To prove that point, several very special E-types attended concours across the world in 2021, with many being driven to their respective events. For example, the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, UK, saw chassis number 860005 (1600 HP) in attendance. The fifth fixed-head coupé to be built, this pre-production prototype was possibly originally intended for motorcycling champion John Surtees, who was wrapping up his second season in the Cooper T53 Formula 1 car at the time.

At the last moment the Jaguar was sent to New York, to be used

by Jo Eerdmans, president of Jaguar Cars North America, although it’s believed the E-type was to be driven by Surtees while in New York for the Watkins Glen round of the Formula 1 season. It later ended up in Pennsylvania, where its subsequent

owners flirted with the idea of turning it into a hot rod. That didn’t happen, and it was treated to a ten-year restoration, before later calling Japan, the US and, more recently, the UK its home.

Then there’s the Lindner Nöcker Low Drag Lightweight, as spotted at Salon Privé. The sole Low Drag Lightweight designed and built by the Jaguar factory, and one of only 12, it had the marque’s most powerful 3.8-litre XK engine produced in period, at a romping 344bhp. It was built for German Jaguar importer and keen racer Peter Lindner for his assault on the 1964 Le Mans 24 Hours, and Malcolm Sayer himself cleaved 16 percent of the drag from the standard E-type through extensive wind-tunnel honing.

The car was due to be co-driven by Peter Nöcker, but tragically Lindner was to lose his life behind the wheel of the car at the Paris 1000km at Montlhéry. The Jaguar was impounded by the French authorities for many years, and would be restored only in 2007.

Classic Motor Cars’ extensive rebuild took 9000 hours, more than half of which was spent reshaping the original metal; 90 percent of the authentic materials made it to the finished restoration.

“In the E-type’s 60th year we have been spoiled with a plethora of gorgeous or historically significant E-types on display or in magazine features, including some of our first E-type 60 Collection customers showing their celebration pairs at events such as Salon Privé, Lime Rock and Dream Rides,” Pink says. “It’s been excellent to see the ex-Equipe Endeavour roadster, ECD 400, at many events this year. As the first competition-winning E-type in the hands of Graham Hill, it was

or otherwise, were 20 years before their birth, if not more?

“The E-type is our most popular model, and Jaguar Classic is always receiving enquiries for restored E-types,” says Pink. “The E-type 60 Collection, announced in March 2021, garnered more than 250 enquiries in the first 48 hours, and all six pairs sold out in days. Meanwhile, our customers span a wide age range, proving that demand for the E-type and the vehicle’s enduring legend are as strong as ever, and should continue to be.”

Porter is similarly optimistic due to the car’s unique status. “I have been saying for years that if they had been built in the same quantity as, say, 250GTOs they would be the most desirable and valuable cars in the world,” he says. “In fact, they are relatively plentiful and can be enjoyed by rather more people. They have the virtues stated above, the parts-supply situation is well covered and they have an aura that has endured for 60 years.

Invariably the E-type tops every poll worldwide, whether it be for the sexiest car, most beautiful car or greatest sports car.”

part of a competition programme called Project ZP. The ZP build spec was signed off the day after the E-type launch at Geneva.

“Meanwhile, it has been a pleasure to display at both the Summer Jaguar Festival and Goodwood Revival a 1967 Series 1 2+2 fixed-head coupé from our collection. At first glance it may look like any other unrestored E-type. However, there are certain anomalies and non-standard parts that make it one of the most significant E-types ever built. It was the only example to leave the factory with a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The car was built by the Jaguar Cars Experimental Department for Frank ‘Lofty’ England. It was essentially the development E-type that paved the way for the Series 2 and 3, with features typically found only on later cars.”

Porter’s own favourite might upset the purists. “The most exciting E-type I have seen this year is the old Rob Beck EGAL, the car Geoff Richardson built with a full-race Holman-Moody Ford Galaxie 427ci V8 for Rob to race,” he says. “It might sound sacrilegious, but this was a proper period racer that dear old Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams drove brilliantly. I interviewed Rob in the 1980s when writing my definitive history of the E-type, and a few years ago his widow gave me all his trophies. As the EGAL lived in the States for many years, I had never, ever seen this hairy monster until it was bought by a UK collector. CKL Developments kindly brought it to our E-type Club E60 celebrations at Shelsley Walsh in June 2021.”

But can the E-type’s appeal endure? A new generation of enthusiasts love their six-cylinder sports GTs, yet Coventry might not pull on the heart strings quite as strongly for some. For many, those emotional tendrils are tugged from Regensberg, Musashimurayama and Zuffenhausen. The BMW M3 E36, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Porsche 911 dominate social media and are already generating a buzz in collector-car circles. Can the E-type, whose shape was first formed by Malcolm Sayer and William Heynes in the late 1950s, maintain its appeal for future generations for whom the 1960s, swinging

ALTERNATIVE CO NCO URS story about a Delahaye, but everyone has a story about a Volkswagen Bug – it’s a little bit more relatable.”

While there is a lot of good-natured mockery going on, some car clubs see it as an opportunity to share the stories of their cars and take pride in them, because they’re not accepted at traditional classic events.

“One year I invited the Cosworth Vega owners – cars you don’t see that often, which are kind of cool but have a semitragic story and are worth absolutely nothing,” says Galbraith.

“The Cosworth owners love them, and have preserved and restored them – they were all-in and made it a national event.”

LeMons is not just a show for the humdrum but hoarded – you’re pretty much guaranteed to see something from the hinterlands of automotive experience. “Every year something turns up that I’ve never heard of, and they’re often awful – our first Worst of Show was a KV1,” laughs Galbraith. “Somebody once brought along a Fiat 124 Cabriolet, which I didn’t know existed; they baked a cake in the shape of the car and used it to bribe the judges – it was a really good cake so it made the car memorable. Then you get things like the Leata Cabalero – basically somebody took a Chevy Chevette and put a load of glassfibre on it to make it look luxurious, and it’s just terrible.

Still, it’s the most beautiful car to come out of Post Falls, Idaho.”

T “THE BASIC PREMISE of it is that I’m a snarky jerk,” laughs Alan Galbraith, the man behind the Concours d’LeMons. “The very first time I attended the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance I noticed a back way in, and I said: ‘I bet I could drive a Pinto station wagon out onto the green before anyone would stop me.’ That was the genesis.”

The Concours d’LeMons is just one of a new breed of event that takes a very different approach to the concours scene – think Delorean rather than Delahaye, spandex rather than Louis Vuitton, and reverie rather than reverence. Actually, in some cases you can substitute reverie for light-hearted revulsion.

Shows such as LeMons, RADwood and The Festival of the Unexceptional in the UK have proven wildly popular with a new, younger audience, to the point that established events are teaming up with them to create curated displays for alternative concours.

For Galbraith, the story begins in 2009. The Pebble Beach Pinto idea had stuck with him for decades, and having set up several car events and got a handle on the mechanics of doing so, he set about turning the idea into the reality. “Because nobody stopped me, I went ahead and did it,” he laughs. “From my first time at Pebble Beach, the event had grown from a single day to a week-long event, with all the attendant pomp and circumstance – it just seemed ripe for something that was intentionally downmarket, punk rock and stick it to the man.”

The first Concours d’LeMons took place in 2009 in California, celebrating the humdrum, the horrendous and the hilarious, and everything in between. “It was wildly successful beyond my expectations – it hit a note on so many levels,” says Galbraith.

However, the event threw up a few surprises – not least in the audience make-up. “I figured it would just be the counterculture types, the hardcore Corvair fan. What I hadn’t expected was for it to be a release from everything Pebble Beach had become; rather than a self-important, aspirational event for people trying to look richer than they were, LeMons was an event where you could be yourself – nobody cared.”

Since then the show has grown and grown, and it now shares the same bill as events such as Pebble Beach and Amelia Island.

But rather than feel threatened by Galbraith’s downmarket interloper, concours participants warmed to his citrusy theme.

“We’ve found that there are quite a few participants in the high-end concours who will specifically bring a car to LeMons just for a bit of release – there are some collectors who want something goofy and want to have fun with it,” says Galbraith.

“As much as people appreciate the high-end cars, they appreciate the low-end cars just as much, if not more. Not everyone has a

‘These models touch everyday lives, and that’s why people are so attached to them’

OPPOSITE The fashions, trends and music of the relevant decades are celebrated alongside the cars at RADwood.

While LeMons takes a sideways glance at the weird and the not so wonderful, RADwood is a broader celebration – and evocation – of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Cars will range from Ferrari F40s and Porsche 959s to 1990s Buick Rivieras and third-generation Chevrolet Camaros, but where RADwood differs is that its events celebrate the fashions and the music of the era, with dressing up encouraged. “It was definitely inspired by the Goodwood Revival – we thought it was such a great concept, we should adopt it and make it our own thing,” says Art Cervantes, one of the founding members of RADwood.

The event grew out of a podcast called Driving While Awesome, and was a response to a lack of opportunity to integrate their own cars into the classic scene. “We had put on multi-day curated road rallies for this era of vehicles because we couldn’t join similar events for older classic cars, or ones for modern supercars – at the time I owned a Porsche 993, and friends had 944s and BMW E30s and E36s,” explains Cervantes. “We decided to put on our first RADwood in San Francisco as a litmus test – there was no marketing, other than mentioning it on our podcast: ‘Bring your 1980s or 1990s car, we’re having the period-correct music and dress, and there’ll be a boombox on top of a car.’ We ended up with around 150 cars and 500 people.”

A follow-up event was held in Los Angeles to coincide with the LA Auto Show, and numbers swelled again, with 400 cars, sold-out pitch space and 1500 visitors. The traditional classic

scene sat up and took notice. “We got a tremendous amount of interest from auction companies and concours organisations that want to tap into this new wave of ’80s/’90s enthusiasm,” says Cervantes. “What’s happening is a generational shift for those in their 30s, 40s and 50s. They’ve maybe owned a few and/or are in a position to really pursue these cars, seeking out what they couldn’t afford when they were younger – Honda Integra Type Rs, Toyota Supras and BMW M3 E30s have really sky-rocketed. We’re also seeing a lot of interest in Ford Escort RS Cosworths, Japanese-only models and rare German performance cars from the likes of AMG and Alpina that we didn’t get in the US back in the day.”

However, it’s not just younger enthusiasts taking an interest in this era. “Hagerty is a partner of ours, and it’s told us there are large collectors reaching out to it, asking about these cars,” explains Cervantes. “People are seeing a lot of buzz, and they want to tap into it from an investment point of view.”

It’s not just the more jewelled elements of the modern classic scene that pique showgoers’ attentions, though. “A lot of what we call the RADwood chic or appeal comes from nostalgia,” Cervantes continues. “Even if the car isn’t great, there’s a certain aesthetic – the shape, the design – and it’s a time and place, and different to what you see on the street now. At one show we had a Toyota Tercel wagon, a small and tall 4WD wagon with a plaid interior that you can imagine being bought by a grandma in a mountainside town; they’re impossible to find because they rusted so easily. We had one parked 50ft away from a Porsche 959, a Ferrari Testarossa and a couple of pre-merger AMGs, and they were ignored in favour of the Tercel. Such cars are cool in a weird way – not because they were great, but because they were preserved and are still around.”

That’s the driving force behind the Festival of the Unexceptional (FOTU), a UK show set up by Hagerty in 2017 to celebrate the non-sporty, non-luxury 1966-1996 cars of the everyday that have somehow survived – its latest winner is a 1989 Proton 1.5 GL Black Knight Edition.

James Mills, editor of Hagerty UK, explains: “The idea came from a group of people within Hagerty, who spotted that while there were shows and concours for everyman classics such as Triumph Stags and Rover P5s, and for more prestigious marques, there wasn’t anything dedicated to ‘ordinary’ cars. We call them ordinary, but these models touch everyday lives, and that’s why people are so attached to them. They remember their mum, dad, aunt, uncle or whoever owned one having it – there is a lot of love for these cars.”

From its 2017 start, which saw 25 vehicles turn up, the 2021

44

event at Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire saw 2000 cars in attendance. It’s so popular that the organisers are thinking of launching separate events for the north and south of the country. “While there’s plenty of the historical, looking-overyour-shoulder element, we’re seeing a lot of young people come to the scene,” says Mills. “People in their teens and 20s are seeing it as accessible; they can buy a car for £500 from Facebook marketplace, work on it, tidy it up and stand a chance of winning something.”

However, don’t go thinking these models are lash-ups – quite the opposite. “I couldn’t get over just how well turned out the cars were,” says Mills. “They were in truly concours condition.”

Much like FOTU, expansion is the name of the game.

RADwood is supplanting its big regional events with smaller pop-up shows and collaborations with bigger concours, such as this year’s Greenwich Concours. There are also plans to head back to Europe, with mooted events in the UK and in Germany in association with the DTM – and then there’s a plan to head to Australia.

LeMons has already made inroads into the land down under.

“I had a gentleman walk up to me at Pebble Beach and say: ‘Oi, what’s it take to do one of these in Australia?’ I said it takes a first-class ticket to Australia. He thought about it for a minute and countered: ‘I can do business class!’” says Galbraith. “The Australians totally get it; they love a good joke, and there are some really terrible cars down there. They’re a practical folk, very rugged, as is the country – they’ve had to do a lot of ‘shadytree mechanic-ing’ just to keep their cars together with what they have to hand. It leads to some absolutely horrible stillmoving wrecks, but they’re fun and people enjoy them.”

Fun is the main focus, and it can be best expressed in one of Galbraith’s favourite show attendees. “Some cars are fairly pedestrian by LeMons standard, but have great stories behind them,” he explains. “There’s a lady who brings her lemon yellow Triumph TR3 to the Florida event every year; it’s not a terrible car, but it’s a family car. Her father bought it new, and she has memories of being driven around in it as a child and drives it everywhere. She comes dressed in a yellow jumpsuit and serves Limoncello to the judges – that’s fantastic.”

For LeMons the march continues, with events held in connection with the Greenwich Concours, as mentioned, as well as the Amelia Island Concours. There are also shows in the Pacific North West, with plans for more in Texas and the Midwest. However, Galbraith has an even bigger dream: “I’d love to ruin Villa d’Este,” he laughs. “If my sponsor pays for a trip to Lake Como, that’s the major win.”

THE FUTURE OF CONCOURS… AND THE HOBBY How to keep the collector car scene alive for future generations

BY M C KEEL H AG ERT Y, C EO, H AG ERT Y INT ERNAT IO NAL

IF YOU’RE LIKE me – and I bet you are – you probably understand, maybe without consciously realising it, that cars are about far more than just sheet metal and horsepower. For those of us who really embrace the value that automobiles bring into our lives, it’s the people and the experiences associated with them that matter most.

This has become more apparent the older I get. I collect cars, and always have. And, yes, I still get that tickle of excitement when I discover that something I’ve always wanted is for sale.

But these days, when I’m debating whether or not to buy it, I ultimately make the decision based on what experience I think it will bring me and who I can share it with.

I think the late, great John Campion, the Lancia collector who passed last year, was a kindred spirit in that regard.

Concours d’elegance events are typically ‘look but don’t touch’ affairs. But John, who was also a long-time supporter of youth motor sports in both the US and his native Ireland, felt the best way to engage kids in the hobby was to get them up close and personal with cars, not leave them to stare at the machinery from behind velvet ropes.

46

OPPOSITE Getting kids engaged with classic cars is key for the future.

BELOW Youngsters on Hagerty’s Youth Judging Program.

So, at the 25th anniversary of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, John not only let kids touch one of his prized Lancias, he also let them get behind the wheel and start it.

The impact on the kids was priceless, and on one girl in particular. She was about 12 years old: blue jeans, hooded sweatshirt, glasses, braces. When John said: “Do ya wanna start it?” her eyes widened. And when she gave it a little gas and the engine roared to life, her expression said: “Wow, did you hear that?”

“She got tears in her eyes,” John told a film crew recording the moment. “That will make an impression on her for the rest of her life. And I think that type of thing is really, really, really important. If you don’t engage young people, the hobby is going to die. We need the younger generation to appreciate these cars.

And we want the younger generation to have this memory, and if the memory can be created by sitting in this car, hitting the start button and putting their foot on the floor and hitting the gas, the whole hobby will move forward.”

How right he was. It’s for that same reason that nearly 18,000 kids have taken part in Hagerty’s Youth Judging Program at concours and car shows across the country since 2007. And why we’ve taught thousands more the (sadly) dying art of driving a stick. It’s even why Hagerty has bought three major concours events in the US in the past year – the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance and the Concours d’Elegance of America.

Our goal as a company is to save driving. And by ‘driving’, we mean far more than just the act of driving. We mean preserving and, yes, expanding the events, happenings and rituals that make up the car world.

It’s a big task. Too big for us alone. We need your help. And the best way you can help is simply by sharing the car experiences that give you joy with others, particularly the young. If you’re a concours fan, for instance, take a son, daughter or grandchild along with you to the next one. You’ll get the joy of watching their eyes light up. And this hobby of ours will have gained a new convert.

That’s a pretty neat deal.

Onward and upward, my friends. The future is bright.

“I’D BEEN GOING to concours with my mom and dad for ages,” recalls Dr Cici Muldoon. “I began to make notes about cars, becoming interested in their history and how they worked; being a ‘passenger’ on someone else’s hobby.”

Fast-forward to today, and Cici is at the heart of the concours scene in Europe and the US. She is part of the judging panel for her beloved Ferraris at Pebble Beach, and is involved with the organisation of the Concours of Elegance in the UK, and has been a member of the International Chief Judge Advisory Group (ICJAG) accreditation process. It’s all very different from her day job as a physicist-turned-entrepreneur.

“I’ve pursued a career in something very different, but one day at a dinner at Cavallino someone said to me: ‘You should judge.’ I’m there anyway, taking all the notes, so I might as well,” Cici says. “I did think I couldn’t possibly do well – these guys are all in their 80s, saw these cars when new, and know everything.”

However, the lure was impossible to resist. “I started doing small concours, eventually getting the hang of it. It’s about doing a bit of detective work ahead of time, knowing which cars will be in a class. Part of the challenge is that they are sometimes not in the right class, so you end up comparing apples and pears.”

For those new to the intricacies of judging, there are broadly two types. ‘French rules’ are generally concerned with design and aesthetics, with a restoration or preservation quality factored in. The US style used at Pebble Beach is on a much deeper level, one appealing to Cici’s studious nature – that and her affinity to Ferrari. “It’s the marque I’m most passionate about,” she says. “I have a Ferrari-obsessed father, a godfather with a Ferrari racing team – it’s in the blood.”

This affinity brings the US judging style into her orbit, as the ICJAG rules are similar to the Ferrari Club of America’s – but the appeal of judging beyond the subjective had a deeper appeal: “I’m a scientist and physicist, so I want to understand how things work – I like the idea of preserving things and keeping the original bits, really breaking them down. I’m just very nerdy – I was interested from an intellectual point of view.

“It’s important we don’t lose the thread [of history].

This is a problem we have with, say, pre-war Bentleys; very few people know all the details – and that’s a famous marque. With something less well known, you have no record.

Doing this type of judging in the era I’m focused on, the 1950s and ’60s, means that in the future there’s a record of how things were.”

LEFT & BELOW Cici judging at Pebble Beach, all serious, but having fun away from her role at Hampton Court.

However, although the judging can get very serious, Cici is down to earth about what concours are all about: “This is meant to be fun. You can’t take it all that seriously – this idea that your car will immediately go up in value if it wins its class might be somewhat true at Pebble, but I don’t see that anywhere else.”

The nature of concours has changed, too, with Cici noting that ‘shrink-wrapped’ restorations aren’t necessarily what judges are looking for. “We do dive into the nitty-gritty – a number missing on the distributor cap may be enough if it’s a tight competition – but by the same token we’ve had cars with a bit of rust. It’s been acceptable because it showed the car is used,” she says. “A car that’s driven onto the field by the owner is increasingly prized. I see a move toward less trailer queening, less perfection.”

Cici is also pleased to see improvements in class placements, and trying to compare pre- and post-war for Best of Show. “That’s one I’ve never really understood – how can you compare, say, a Bugatti Atalante with a Lancia Delta Integrale?” she laughs, before noting that the move to preservation is getting ever stronger.

Then there’s the nature of the cars making an appearance: “Slowly but surely the decades are moving on, and the cars of the 1980s are coming on to the field. We’re moving away from pre-war cars, sadly, but that’s the onward march – if you were born in the 1970s, ’80s cars are the ones you’d have had on your bedroom wall.” Yet Cici points out that the scene doesn’t have to follow a one-size-fits-all approach. “There’s space for everybody.

I’m on the steering committee for the Concours of Elegance, and we have a very high selection standard but a relaxed vibe during the concours. If you want to be at Pebble Beach, then you have to have cars at Pebble standard, and that’s okay,” she says – but she’s quick to add that shouldn’t be the case everywhere.

“I often get asked why is it that cars and car collecting is an old, white, male hobby? It’s clearly because those are the people who have the money to afford it. One of the things concours can do to get younger people who don’t have the same means is to champion ‘smaller’ marques and cheaper cars – but still, that doesn’t mean all concours should be like this.”

She does, however, believe that concours should be a little less serious: “Of course the events have to make money, but for the rest of us it’s not life or death; this is about having a good time. So I’d like to see a move towards concours taking themselves less seriously and making it about having a great time – more about the party. That’s the whole point.”

“I’VE SEEN ALMOST the whole evolution of Pebble Beach,” says Don Williams, founder of the Blackhawk Museum.

“I remember when Lorin [Tryon] called me – he and I were partners in our early years – and said: ‘Are you going to come to Pebble Beach?’ I asked: ‘What’s that?’ and he said: ‘It’s the greatest show in California!’ [Organisers] J Heumann and Lorin were the Pied Pipers of Pebble Beach…

“And so the first year I came up to Pebble Beach was 1972.

I brought a Lincoln; it didn’t win anything but I had fun. It just so happens that it was beautiful weather – there was no fog.

And I thought: ‘My God, I’ve died and gone to heaven.’”

It was the start of something special for Don, who not only continued to attend Pebble Beach every year but also entered more and more cars into the concours, as well as building up a huge showcase of models for sale at the event as his collection and business grew in size. Now he’s best known as the founder of the world-famous Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, alongside the Blackhawk Collection of collector car sales.

“I kind of kept that feeling for the rest of my life,” continues Don. “The following year I brought the Alfa Romeo 1750 Zagato; I came to have fun, not expecting to win anything, but I got Second in Class.

“There weren’t as many cars back then, about 125, and then it grew to 150 and then 175, and now there are over 200. It’s hard to absorb that many great cars, so I used to get there first thing in the morning to watch every car come onto the field. We used to call it the Don Patrol – now Hagerty does it as the Dawn Patrol!

“My dream was to touch all the great cars of the world. I can’t afford to own, nor would I want to, the same car forever. There are so many great cars. So I dreamt of having a little showroom place at Pebble Beach where I could display my cars.

“I did an expo first, next to the tennis courts. Christie’s did the auction then, not David [Gooding], and it thought that was a better spot, so it ended up moving me over towards the horses. That spot was infested with flies, though, so the next year I didn’t do it.

“But I had created a place to showcase other cars, so they [Pebble Beach] asked me if I’d be interested in the Peter Hay Golf Course [now The Hay], never realising that it was always my dream to have the Peter Hay Golf Course as my showroom. I said yes, on one condition: that you’ll never throw me out!”

on the way down from 17 Mile Drive into the concours, where the car manufacturers now have their imposing stands.

Says Don: “I had 90 cars at my highest. I actually had people who were handing tickets to me, thinking they were already at Pebble Beach. But just trying to move 90 cars was so expensive.

“I got tired of doing all of that, because I could never go see the show; I couldn’t go anywhere because it was such a commitment to be at the stand in case somebody wanted to come buy a car. So 17 years later I decided not to come [as an exhibitor] because of the expenditures.”

He continues: “I only came back this year, with a little, well, I call it a ‘boutique expo’. I had 12 cars, all very, very high grade.

And it was fun. But I realised I don’t want to do that every year.

I want to enjoy the show as the main thing, as a place to enjoy each others’ cars and saying hi to fellow collectors.

“I’ve always tried to have at least one or two cars on the lawn each year. I think I put six in one year, but I put a couple under somebody else’s name so I wouldn’t look like a pig. In the earlier years, they used to call me if someone cancelled at the last second or if a class wasn’t big enough. And so I would bring another car. I’ve given parts of my cars for people to win the class, and I’ve broken down more times going across the ramp than anybody who ever went.

“You know, I think that I’ve seen every car that I could. One year, probably 40 percent of the cars on the lawn had gone through my hands at some point. I’ve had 1000s of cars, and I’ve probably had close to 200 at Pebble Beach – entered into the concours, I mean.”

So does Don have a favourite of all these cars, we asked.

“I fall in love with a lot of cars and I’d feel guilty if I say just the one. I’ve had a Figoni Boat-tail Duesenberg, I’ve had a Voisin, I’ve had a multitude of great cars that now no one could own unless they were a multi-billionaire. I was fortunate to get into this hobby as it grew. I was able to chase the very best cars; I travelled the whole western part of the world doing that.

“So I can’t say which is my favourite, but there’s one car I have not had: that’s a Ferrari Testa Rossa. I’ve had a 250GTO, I’ve had everything below.

“Really I’m just a glorified used car fanatic. I love cars as much as any human being in the world. I love Pebble Beach.

It’s my favourite show.”

THE ORGA NISE R

THE PHRASE ‘A bruising experience’ doesn’t come close to covering the ravages the events industry has faced over the past couple of years. Despite all this, Canossa Events appears to have gone from strength to strength, with two Cavallino events and the restarting of Modena Cento Ore – and it’s expanding its remit, too.

In October 2021, Canossa announced it was taking over the running of Italy’s Alfa Revival Cup, just as it was preparing for a new event in Dubai, a matter of months before its big Cavallino staging in Palm Beach. Then there’s a return to Modena, Italy, on the cards after a highly successful last-minute event in 2021.

So, how does CEO and chairman Luigi Orlandini do it?

“I strongly believe that the enjoyment of the participants measures the level of an event. For certain events, people ‘have to’ be there; for others, they ‘want’ to be present,” says Luigi. “The best recipe is the one that combines good cars, great opportunities to drive them, good people, serious rules, great venues and food, and some entertainment, too, in order to create unforgettable moments.”

If that sounds simple, then of course the past few years have done their best to throw a spanner into the works and enforce a different approach to organising events – and not just accommodating a raft of ever-changing safety rules. “This year has been better than 2020, although we have not been at full speed,” says Luigi. “The biggest difference was the impossibility to plan in advance. We always knew the COVID-19 situation was temporary, so we continued to look ahead and sharpen our blades for the moment of the restart. Even if we were not allowed to run our events, we used the time to make a couple of good acquisitions, the most important one being Cavallino.”

Canossa has not only taken over the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic event, but has taken it international in 2021.

“Cavallino in Modena was a ‘boutique’ event, announced very late – as soon as we had the green light from the Italian government. But despite it being the first event, we ended up with beautiful cars, great people and a truly fantastic atmosphere.”

Luigi concedes that the biggest challenge has been the various travel restrictions around the world, along with the uncertainty around the rules. “Despite that,” he says, “we had an incredibly good response from the collectors in Modena, and we are seeing a lot of interest for Dubai.”

New frontiers are part of the reason Luigi sees a bright

BELOW CEO Luigi Orlandini has big plans for future events and attractions under the Canossa banner.

future for concours events. “The interest in collecting cars is growing in new parts of the world, and in younger generations too,” he explains. “What better way to enjoy a newly restored vehicle than by bringing it to a concours?”

However, Luigi believes bringing new people to the hobby is still the major challenge that faces the collector event community. “We have to be creative, fresh and somehow ‘pop’, while continuing to be very careful as to the quality of cars and judging. Part of Cavallino’s mission is to spread the culture and attract young people to the collectors’ world – that’s why we’re planning to dedicate attention to younger Ferraris, too.”

With Cavallino intrinsically linked to Ferrari, does the growing appreciation for Japanese and German brands with a younger audience (see page 40 for our feature on alternative concours) present an opportunity for Canossa to develop other, more wide-ranging events?

“We see the younger generation more attracted by new brands and different models, but we see the same passions as before,” Luigi says. “We love cars in general, we love those that are in perfect condition, as well as those that carry the signs of racing on their body, from Europe to America and Asia, even though our preference is Italian cars.”

There’s no doubting that Maranello will always be the go-to focus for Cavallino, unsurprisingly. “Cavallino will, of course, be always dedicated to Ferrari, no doubt.”

With concours events spread over three continents, Luigi believes that’s enough for now, but he still has his eyes on the future: “I have a dream for another step – hopefully we will be announcing something in 2022.”

Still, even as the Canossa email inbox bulges at the seams, there is a little bit of reflection on 2021’s best car – unsurprisingly, it wears a rather familiar little yellow badge: “Excluding Cavallino for obvious reasons, I’d say the beautifully restored 1964 Ferrari 250GTO, chassis no. 5573, which won its class at Pebble Beach.”

You can see more of that car on page 158. It finished first in class at the 1964 Nürburgring 1000km with Mike Parkes and Jean Guichet behind the wheel, before taking sixth in class at Le Mans the same year with Fernand Tavano and Bob Grossman on driving duties for Luigi Chinetti’s racing team.

However, Luigi has the last laugh: “Of course, if you want to see the most special cars, Cavallino is the place to be.”

THE RESTOR E R

“I’D SAY TO anyone new to collecting cars, or who has never completed a restoration before – don’t do it, buy a good one instead.” This seems like an odd thing for a restorer to say, but then David L George III is part of a restoration dynasty that has always done things differently.

Over 40 years, DL George Historic Motorcars has built an enviable reputation for its show-winning restorations, with its primary specialty being pre- and immediately post-war Italian sports cars. However, as we take a tour around the workshops, a gleaming Bentley 3 Litre shares space with one of its 4½ Litre brethren, while a one-off replica of a Touring-bodied BMW, built to compete in the ill-fated 1939 Berlin to Rome road race, shimmers in another corner.

Then there’s a line-up of one-offs, including the Avalle ALF, which competed in the Mille Miglia several times. However, it’s the multitude of Alfa Romeo 8Cs and 6Cs, including a glistening 6C bare chassis, that really command your attention.

Back in 1982, it took quite a leap for David’s father, David L George II, to move into restoration full time. “He was a manufacturing engineer making catalytic converters for Johnson Matthey – a really good, steady job. When he told his parents he’d like to leave to pursue a career in restoration, the announcement was not well received.

“Restoration had been a hobby for my father since the mid1960s,” continues David III. “Restoration wasn’t a career; the cars weren’t an asset class. It was just never about money, it was about the love of the cars – and that continues to this day.”

Which brings us back to David’s advice for anyone thinking of restoring a car to concours standard. It really depends on the person, but the fundamental truth is the same. “It shouldn’t be about money for the collector; it shouldn’t be about money for the restorer. It doesn’t make financial sense to do this – no matter how efficient you are, the equation still doesn’t work.

For that reason, it has to be passion driven.”

Passion might not be enough, however. “For someone who has never restored a car before, and particularly if they’re not a seasoned collector already, I would tell them not to do it. Forget the restoration – buy a car that’s finished.”

Even for seasoned collectors, there has to be a commitment that would crush the spirit of many. “You definitely shouldn’t do

BELOW David L George III: restorations must be driven by passion, he says.

it for investment, even if you have a multi-million-dollar car – if you’re not excited about it, you shouldn’t do it.

“Most of our clients are not only interested in having a restored car; they’re interested in the restoration process itself and participating in it, working together with our team to build something truly spectacular and exquisite in every detail.

“A concours restoration could take 3000 hours, it could take 10,000 hours. You just need to know that, going into it – it’s going to be a multi-year process.”

For David, they are happy hours – and the more challenging the job, the better. “Our favourite cars to work on are anything unique and challenging,” he says. “It’s just nice to work with cars we don’t see every day. You can’t just buy parts, you have to search extensively to source or fabricate what you need, which keeps it really fascinating. When we restore production cars, it’s just not a challenge – you buy the parts, they arrive a couple of days later. It can become more of a process and less of an art, compared to the restoration of a hand-built car.”

The artistry is what draws him to pre- and immediately postwar cars. “When you see the amount of fine detail, the amount of care that went into these cars before the onset of mainstream production, it takes your breath away,” he says. He’s not concerned about a slight trend away from pre-war cars on the concours lawns. “What we’re finding is that clients often start with a newer car from one marque, and then get into the groove and move back to the older cars as their interests develop.”

His personal taste is for Amilcars, the first of which he received as a gift from his father, aged six. “I know they tend to be small and not especially quick, but they have a lot of the wonderful characteristics of the blue-chip collector cars – they offer that really cool analogue experience, yet they’re still attainable for normal people.”

David’s worked on some amazing cars, but when asked to pick his favourite, he can’t narrow it down to just one. “I love so many cars that we’ve restored, but I am most proud of particular details of individual cars and the culmination of those details as they come together to form the beautifully completed restorations – things that are exquisite to the point that you don’t realise how nice they can actually become until you’re deeply ingrained in restoration.”

THE TRANSPO RTE R

MARTIN E BUTTON is more than just a car-shipping expert – he’s experienced concours from either side of the VIP rope, having entered automobiles into the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance since the late 1980s. “I’m proud of my two Third in Class awards,” he says. “Quite quickly I became ‘The International Shipping Guy’ and handled vehicles for Pebble Beach, Cavallino and Villa d’Este, among others.”

However, shipping cars wasn’t the first fruit of his labours – it was, well, fruit, nuts and dehydrated vegetables in the early days, following his 1982 purchase of Cosdel International Transportation: “One day I was in Fantasy Junction, a classic auto dealership in the Bay Area, and Bruce Trenery asked if I could ship a Ferrari 250 Lusso and a 250GT SWB to The Oldtimer Garage in Bern, as Al Guggisberg had just bought them. That was the beginning,” explains Martin.

Since then he’s built up an enviable reputation for shifting cars around the globe. To an outsider the logistics might boggle the mind, but Martin takes it all in his stride. “Preparing a car for a concours is pretty straightforward,” he says. “Once we get the order from the client, we arrange to get the title to clear it through customs for export, send a truck to collect the vehicle, and book it with the airline or ocean carrier.”

The physical handling of the cars has changed little over the decades, but in recent times the biggest change has been the appetite to ship vehicles worldwide. In 2019, Cosdel shipped 56 international entrants to Pebble Beach’s manicured lawns.

Computerisation has done much to make things easier, although it has come at a price. “Everything is done online now, so person-to-person communications are few and far between.

It is rather sad really,” Martin laughs. “I don’t see many sales reps with boxes of Krispy Kremes these days.”

Despite years of experience, there are certain vehicles that are perennially difficult to move about. “Cars with endto-end belly pans are difficult to secure, because there is no chassis or axle access,” he explains. “Those with large wheel covers or spats can be difficult to secure by the wheels, and while McLaren F1s are easy to move if they have the travel wheel knockoffs, without them the wheels have to be tied down as there is nothing under the car to attach things to.”

The potential issues don’t end with the vehicles – certain ports and airports can be more troublesome to work with than others, especially when a car is titled to an engine number. But

BELOW Martin’s speciality is international shipping, moving precious automobiles around the globe.

it’s the Caribbean that provides the most headaches. “There is so little container service, and only from a few ports,” Martin says. “We always cringe when we hear that there will be a car event on one of the islands.”

However, one of the biggest logistical challenges Martin has faced also happens to be one of his most satisfying. “We shipped about 40 cars to The Holy Land Tour in Israel a couple of years ago, and one entrant had lost his house to a California wildfire,” he remembers. “His automobiles were fortunately saved, but all his titles burned up. It almost took an act of Congress to get him a duplicate title in a timely fashion, but he did it, and we shipped the car alone at the very last minute. It was touch and go for the whole voyage, yet we got it to Tel Aviv the night before the event started. Cutting it that close is not advisable, but it did give us a lot of satisfaction that we made it.”

It doesn’t always go smoothly, although Martin says nothing is unresolvable. “Many years ago, two UK clients bought Austin-Healey BJ8s at the auctions during Monterey Car Week.

Unfortunately, our packing facility in Oakland did not check the serial numbers of the vehicles when they loaded the containers, and we accidentally shipped the barn find to the client that had spent a fortune on a 100-point restored car, almost giving him a heart attack when it rolled out of the truck. The buyer of the barn find was obviously delighted when he saw ‘his’ 100-point example emerge from his own truck. Luckily this was easily rectified with some additional transportation.”

Martin gets to see some of the world’s most beautiful and expensive automobiles close up, but he’s quick to answer with his favourites – firstly, the Pebble Beach Best of Show-winning Daimler Double Six Roadster owned by the Robert Lee Collection. “That car is a stunning, masculine machine, and the engine is a piece of jewellery,” he says. “I have also enjoyed shipping three of the six Bugatti Royales – super-cool models with amazing engines.”

As a member of the selection committees of the Pebble Beach Concours and the Concours of Elegance and Salon Privé in the UK, Martin gets to see a lot of car applications – something he says is an honour and a privilege. His advice for anyone thinking of entering a concours is simple: “Have something unique. We are a lot less interested in a perfectly restored production car of which many were made, versus a one-off – even if it is in poor or unrestored condition.”

OFFSET YOUR AUTOMOTIVE CARBON FOOTPRINT IN THREE STEPS FROM TWO PENCE PER MILE

The NET-HERO platform is a new carbon-offset initiative for classic and modern cars, in association with worldrenowned historic rally and event organiser HERO-ERA 58

THERE’S NOW A way to carbon-offset your classic and modern car use, using an innovative platform that calculates greenhouse emissions for a huge range of models of all ages, worldwide. Available in five languages, the platform uses a three-step process to assist environmentally responsible drivers to play their part in addressing climate change.

NET-HERO is powered by a worldwide database of millions of registered vehicles. First, motorists enter their vehicle’s details and estimated annual mileage to calculate its carbon footprint. Secondly, they can contribute to high-quality carbon projects by purchasing from the NET-HERO offset basket, developed with decarbonisation specialist BeZero Carbon. Finally, motorists will receive an email certificate and a custom vignette to showcase their status as an environmentally friendly driver.

With this platform, climate awareness can rapidly turn into climate action. NET-HERO’s AAA+-rated programme helps motorists offset internal-combustion engine emissions for as little as two pence per mile. Each carbon credit contributes to high-quality projects around the world, including afforestation, restoration of peatlands and grass protection.

This rating has been developed using a proprietary methodology for assessing the efficacy of certified carbon projects called the BeZero Carbon Rating.

Tomas de Vargas Machuca, chairman of HERO-ERA explained how the initiative came about: “HERO-ERA was the first classic and vintage car event platform to become carbon neutral for 2020, offering all our competitors an environmentally responsible platform in which to enjoy motoring. It was only natural that we were to become a strategic partner with NET-HERO, which allows the individual to offset emissions outside our events.

“The teams of NET-HERO and BeZero Carbon have made it quick, simple and affordable for motorists to offset their vehicle emissions by launching the easy-to-use platform. Whether the vehicle of choice is a Ford Focus or an E-type Jaguar, users can offset the environmental cost of their driving from as little as two pence per mile, and play their part in addressing the challenges to strengthening net-zero targets.”

Celebrating the

Best Best of the

A Ferrari 750 Monza with a fabulous racing history, now restored to its full former glory, was a worthy winner

WITH SO MANY great winning cars across the globe’s concours events, the recipient of The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best has to be special, and 2020’s victor was certainly that – a 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza that had taken Best of Show at the Cavallino Classic Palm Beach.

Chassis number 0428 MD, bodied by Sergio Scaglietti, got off to a winning start in its racing career, Umberto Maglioli taking it to victory at the inaugural Imola Grand Prix in June 1954 under the Scuderia Ferrari banner. It would be upgraded from a 2.0-litre engine to a 3.0-litre unit for its remaining races that year, which included a win at the Monsanto GP. It would also take a first place and two second places at the Nassau Race Week with its first owner, Alfonso de Portago, at the wheel.

California would largely be the car’s playground for the next two years, new owner Sterling Edwards taking the 750 to four victories and two podiums in the Pebble Beach Road Races – an event he founded. However, the death of his friend Ernie McAfee caused Edwards to abandon racing, and he sold the car to engineer Bob Whitmer. Whitmer would race the car with some success for the rest of the 1960s, although by this point the original engine had been replaced with a Chevrolet V8.

Fast-forward around five decades, and the car’s chassis, body, engine and gearbox were found preserved in a San Francisco warehouse. New owners Tom and Jill Peck commissioned Bob Smith Coachworks to oversee a complete restoration, which called on the expertise of Ferrari historians such as Marcel Massini, Alan Boe and David Seielstad. Sterling Edwards’ son Hammond and Bob Whitmer also aided the restoration.

OPPOSITE The restored 750, wearing the livery with which it raced in the 1954 Carrera Panamericana.

They were able to draw on a wealth of original documents and photographs. Also preserved were the authentic instruments, owner’s manual, build sheet, toolboxes and more, while 3Dprinting technology was used to create parts that were no longer available. The restoration would take three years.

Resplendent in the livery with which it competed in the 1954 Carrera Panamericana race, the fully restored car won the Enzo Ferrari award at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

It then won the Best of Show at the Cavallino Classic, and was awarded The Peninsula Classics 2020 Best of the Best Award in February 2021 by a judging panel including F1 designer Gordon Murray and collector Jay Leno.

“It is a true honour to be recognised by the venerable judges of The Peninsula Classics,” said owner Tom Peck. “Like so many classic cars, this one has been both a labour of love and the product of dedicated teamwork. The Best of the Best Award is a crowning achievement for everyone involved.”

Launched in 2015, Best of the Best celebrates the engineering and design of classic cars built by internationally renowned manufacturers. The judges choose from an exceptional shortlist of winners from the most exclusive concours.

Reflecting on the award, Sir Michael Kadoorie, chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels and co-founder of the Best of the Best Award, said: “With such a prestigious collection of nominees, choosing one winner was especially challenging.

However, it is always a great pleasure to spotlight the remarkable achievements of the automotive industry, and to create a small spark of joy in the current challenging times.”

THE 21 GUN Salute International Vintage Car Rally and Concours d’Elegance will be back for 2023, ready to kick off the concours year in style. It’ll be co-hosted

by HH Maharaja Samarjitsinh Rao Gaekwad of Baroda and HH Maharani Radhikaraje Gaekwad of Baroda.

The previous event, held in 2020, was a highly successful showcase of India’s best cars. That event took place at Karma Lakelands, Gurugram, whereas one of India’s finest palaces, the Lukshmi Vilas Palace in Baroda, will host the next event.

Given the quality of previous entries, which numbered around 150, it’ll make for a spectacular concours. Adjudicated by 30 internationally acclaimed judges,

the 2020 event saw classes dedicated to pre- and post-war European and US vehicles, as well as dedicated trophies for VW, Bentley, Jaguar, Daimler, MG and Rolls-Royce. International Best of Show came from Italy – a 1961 Maserati 3500GT Spyder Roadster. Overall Best of Show went to a 1949 Bentley MkVI Light Touring Sedan. India’s rich cultural heritage was reflected in displays of royal horse carriages and Maharaja vehicles, while Indian classical dance performances complemented motoring-themed talks.

For those seeking to delve into India’s countryside, a 2500-mile rally took place after the concours, paying tribute to India’s diverse cultures.

The 21 Gun Salute reflects India’s rich cultural heritage as well as features stunning cars.

AS WITH SO many other events, Arizona’s premier car show Concours in the Hills was cancelled in 2021 due to COVID-19 – but it’ll be back for 2022 and is set to be better than ever.

This casual, informal show is held in a spectacular location on the gently rolling grass hills of the beautiful Fountain Park in Fountain Hills near Scottsdale. Against a backdrop of mountain peaks, the event has always been blessed with southern Arizona’s famous sunny weather.

The show is arranged by categories: European, Domestic, Asian, Race Cars, Military, Off-Road and Motorcycles.

Military and civilian helicopters are on display, with Cobra and Viper sports cars

arranged around Cobra and Viper attack helicopters from the US Army and USMC. The show is supported by the leading car clubs, and exhibitors and spectators come from most neighbouring states. In 2020 more than 100 sponsors took part, including new and pre-owned car dealers, race tracks and driving schools, aftermarket suppliers and installers.

Best of Show was a tie between a 1956 Watson-DeBisschop and a 1962 Lesovsky Indy Roadster, both owned by Tom Malloy, while the Best Club Display was by Citroën enthusiasts. Best Domestic Car was Al Meehan’s ’71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda, and Best Imported Car was Terry Larson’s ’35 Jaguar SS90 Prototype.

Premier Arizona car show attracts exotica from all over the desert states.

THE INTERMARQUE CONCOURS d’Elegance is New Zealand’s premier such event and a key part of the Kiwi car lovers’ calendar. First held in 1972, it takes place at Auckland’s Ellerslie Racecourse, and attracts thousands of visitors.

Cars can be entered individually or via club teams. This year the Porsche Car Club won the Team Shield with Martin JW Rees’ 1959 356A T2 Coupé and Allan Shanahan’s 1957 356A Speedster; the latter would also scoop Best in Show.

Meanwhile, the 50-50-50 starter concours is for younger enthusiasts who haven’t performed a costly restoration.

Both the entrant and the car must be less than 50 years of age, and the total cost must be under NZ$50,000. The model’s

underside isn’t judged, there’s less of an emphasis on originality, and the owner needn’t belong to a club. The winner was Tim Wood’s Datsun 1200 SS. The Survivor Class for unrestored cars over 35 years old was won by Murray Biddick’s Jaguar E-type S3 after a close battle with Karl Shields’ 1972 Chevrolet Camaro RS. And the Masters Class was won by Penny Webster’s Mercedes-Benz 230SL, with Paul Sharp’s 1974 Holden HQ Premier coming second.

Next year will see a line-up of hot rods, and Rust Alley, a display of unrestored cars and partial builds. Cars will range from the 1900s to new exotics, while a range of modified classics will precede a potentially new competition in 2023.

AFTER SITTING OUT 2021 due to the worldwide pandemic and the loss of its founder, Rick Case, the 15th Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance returns for 2022 with what’s set to be a great line-up of cars and entertainment.

It will all kick off at the Boca Raton on the Friday night with the VIP Sponsor Party, while Saturday night sees the Gala Dinner and Show with a live auction in which guests will have the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind trips, experience packages, luxury jewellery and much more. Previous entertainers at the show have included Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Jeff Foxworthy, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, Bob Newhart, Billy Gardell and Wayne

Brady, and for 2022 Howie Mandel will make a star appearance.

Sunday is the day of the concours, led by grand marshal and TV host of Chasing Classic Cars, Wayne Carini. Chrysler and Imperial will be given special attention, while a variety of antique, vintage and classic automobiles and motorcycles will be on show. This year’s Special Display Classes include 30 Under 30, Tuner Cars, 1963-67 Corvette Coupes and more.

Automobile Collector of the Year will be Guy Lewis, debuting models such as a 1937 Horsch, 1914 Stearns-Knight and 1963 Porsche 356. Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is among those who will be honoured at the event.

THE ICE: THE International Concours of Elegance St Moritz returns after a two-year hiatus to take over the frozen lake at St Moritz, Switzerland.

The event combines the stark beauty of the Engadin winter landscape with around 50 classic, Vintage and modern cars. This isn’t a static event – there’s the opportunity to see some machinery get very sideways on the snow, before warming up with gourmet delicacies from Badrutt’s Palace Hotel.

A virtual event took place in 2021 to preview the kind of cars visitors can expect to see in 2022. A Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Porsche 911 GT1 took to the tiny, snowbound streets around the

lake, and the interior of Badrutt’s Palace Hotel provided the backdrop for a photoshoot featuring a Ferrari 275GTB and an Alfa Romeo Formula 1 car, while a Lancia 037 Stradale took to the slopes.

The 2019 event saw a Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary drifting, complete with a toboggan on the roof.

Cars more traditionally used to the slippery stuff were also in abundance, with a Stratos and 037 being joined by a Martini-liveried Delta S4. For Vintage car fans, a Bugatti Type 35 could be seen indulging in similar sideways action.

Expect even more glamour and spectacle in 2022 – just remember to pack your thermals.

Vintage cars join classics and moderns on the frozen lake for a concours with a spectacular twist.

WHILE EVENTS AROUND the world were still being postponed and cancelled into early 2021, the third edition of the AXA Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance in Australia was able to go ahead as planned, much to the delight of the participants.

The three-day event at Swifts, the Victorian Gothic mansion and gardens of Dr Shane and Mrs Penny Moran, started on the Thursday afternoon with the Southern Hemisphere launch of the McLaren Elva show car in Gulf livery.

On the Friday the concours started with 300 people watching the 60th anniversary E-type parade. On Saturday another 300 guests witnessed the arrival of 25 more cars in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive, to complement the

vehicles from New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia on the lawns. All were competing for the Prix d’Honneur for the AXA Best in Show.

One of the stars of the concours was the 1966 Brabham BT19 that Sir Jack Brabham took to victory in his third Formula 1 World Championship, and in doing so became the only person ever to win the World Championship in a car of their own making.

Saturday afternoon saw the auction sale of a 1961 Maserati 3500GT Spyder

by Vignale, which reached the price of AUS$733,225. The winning concours cars were announced that same evening at the Pommery Champagne black-tie gala awards dinner.

Swifts’ lawns were ablaze with sophistication and style during Sydney Harbour Concours event.

WHAT STARTED AS a small event for 50 hot rods has grown into one of the must-see shows on the California car scene, if not internationally. The La Jolla Concours d’Elegance brings some of the US’s finest classics to the lawns of the Ellen Browning Scripps Park, and over 16 years has grown to offer three days of classic car-related indulgence, including a free show that’s open to the public.

The last event was 2019, when a 1935 Duesenberg Gurney Nutting took Best in Show. Other notable accolades included Scott Bullock’s Preservation Award-winning 1972 Pontiac Trans Am and Bill Ceno’s 1985 288GTO, which scooped Ferrari Class honours. Yet this

doesn’t come close to illustrating the sheer breadth of vehicles on display at La Jolla. All are welcome.

For 2022, 125 cars spread across the decades will line up. Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Ferrari, Pininfarina, Corvette, Packard, Jaguar, Porsche, Austin-Healey and Mercedes-Benz all have specific classes, while there are wider categories for US and European classics from 1925-1948 and modern supercars. There will also be classes for Italian, British and German models, and a dedicated racing class. Any car entered into these classes is eligible for a Preservation Award. Money raised goes to the La Jolla Historical Society.

La Jolla Concours offers three days of classic car-related indulgence.

THE 30TH CAVALLINO Classic Palm Beach took place in April, having been postponed from its original January slot due to the pandemic. Enthusiasts descended on The Breakers to see more than 100 rare and historically significant Ferraris at the world’s most important marque event. The standard was as high as ever, despite overseas collectors being absent because of travel restrictions.

Several key models were represented by two cars each, including the 250GTO, 250SWB, 275GTB/4, 288GTO, F40 and SF90 Stradale. This year also marked the 50th anniversary of the 12-cylinder boxer’s usage in road cars after the 365GT/4 BB’s arrival at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. The Cavallino Classic paid

homage with a display of 12 stunning 365, 512, 512i and Testarossa models that all featured this type of engine.

The most powerful Ferrari present was the FXX-K hybrid with its dizzying 1036bhp, while an ex-Schuey F2001b Formula 1 car was unarguably the fastest car there. However, the winner of the coveted Scuderia Ferrari Cup went to a 1957 250GT TdF that won the Rally Jeanne d’Arc in 1957, before taking eighth place overall in that year’s Tour de France Automobile.

The prestigious Gran Turismo Ferrari Cup went to an extremely rare 1952 212 Inter Cabriolet Pinin Farina that took third place at the inaugural Nürburgring 1000km back in 1953.

Event’s 30th anniversary saw a stunning display of rare and historically significant cars.

THE GREENBRIER CONCOURS has been running only since 2018, but it has already gained a reputation for drawing out some of the finest cars and most interesting stories. The elegant resort in West Virginia is the perfect backdrop for exceptional examples of motoring art.

This year, 20 awards were up for grabs – but the event was about much more than the concours. It was a three-day celebration of all things automotive, with Friday’s Summit Drive taking entrants over the mountains to Roanoke’s Virginia Museum of Transportation.

Saturday’s Cars & Cocktails hosted 100 vehicles on The Greenbrier’s golf courses, while a charitable dinner raised $60,000 for The Mountaineer Autism Project, AACA Library and Research

Center and the First Responders Children’s Foundation.

Sunday was all about the concours, however, and the Best of Show went to Stephen Plaster’s 1933 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Sports Tourer. Its 7.3-litre straight-eight made it the world’s most powerful mass-produced car in period.

With its Ercole Castagna-designed body, it would feature at the 27th Salon de l’Automobile Paris in 1933, before becoming a Hollywood star that was even driven by James Dean in the 1956 epic Giant. The car has more recently been treated to a full restoration by Evergreen Historic Vehicles.

Plans are already in place for next year’s Concours, which is scheduled to take place from May 6-8, 2022.

Greenbrier’s relatively new concours has swiftly gained world-class status.

MOVED FROM MARCH to May in light of the global pandemic, The Amelia was grateful to return to the Golf Club of Amelia Island and the Ritz-Carlton to host a world-class motoring event.

Among the many highlights, the Best in Show Concours d’Elegance Trophy was awarded to a 1926 HispanoSuiza H6B Cabriolet displayed by Jill and Charles Mitchell, while a 1974 Shadow DN4 displayed by James Bartel took home the Best in Show Concours de Sport Trophy.

DN4-1A is the title-winning Shadow from 1974. It was driven by Jackie Oliver, and won four out of five races in the final shortened season of the original Cam-Am. Bought by its current owner in 2014, it has competed in Historic races from 2016 to the present, finishing first in every Historic round entered.

Central to the weekend’s festivities was the celebration of The Amelia’s 2021 honouree: racer, writer and broadcaster Lyn St James. The event team gathered 11 of the cars that Lyn drove throughout her racing career, including the 1985 Ford Mustang displayed by 3 Dog Garage: Lyn’s first Daytona 24-Hours class victory came behind the wheel of this classic pony car in 1987.

Elsewhere, the event celebrated Chevy Thunder, the all-conquering Porsche 935 and electric cars in the It’s Electric class, which included the 1895 Morris and Salom Electrobat IV. This is believed to be the oldest electric vehicle in existence.

THE VALLETTA CONCOURS returns for 2022 after two cancelled years, with the city’s superb mix of excellent weather and ornate architecture providing the perfect canvas for automobile art.

Each year around 80 cars take part, and Best in Show winners have included Chris Cachia’s immaculate Jaguar E-type Series 1 Roadster and Peter Mullin’s rare Citroën Chapron Le Paris. However, each year there special classes, and one recent example was a tribute to US cars built between 1945 and 1973, which saw the likes of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air lock horns with a 1956 Packard Patrician.

The Valletta Concours is just as fascinating for its European classics,

with exhibits including the 1976 Renault 6 TL that won the Preservation Class in 2019 through to the 1936 Fiat Topolino 500 A that took the Pre-War Class in the same year. Modern classics are also celebrated, with a Ferrari 308 narrowly stealing victory from a BMW 320i.

Jaguar is the chosen marque for 2022, so expect a great selection of Coventry’s finest, along with the high standard of cars we’ve come to expect. If you have greater interests than simply classics, a trip to Valletta has much to offer – such as Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s largest and only signed canvas, depicting the beheading of St John the Baptist, which hangs in St John’s Cathedral.

Jaguar E-type and Citroën Chapron Le Paris grace Valletta’s baroque main central square.

THE LONDON CONCOURS presented

by Montres Breguet once again took place at the Honourable Artillery Company, a five-acre oasis of green in the heart of the City of London. Now stretching over three days, the event hosted around 100 cars across 11 classes including The 200mph Club, Young Timers, Great Marques – Porsche, Great Marques – Lotus and The Italian Berlinettas. Each was packed with rarities, from the Ferrari 250GT SWB Competizione SEFAC Hot Rod to the Bugatti Chiron and Jaguar XJR15.

The expert committee of judges picked an extraordinarily well preserved Lotus Eleven LM50 as Best in Show.

Chassis no. 11-332 was a Team Lotus

works entry, which raced at Rouen and Reims in 1957 driven by American Herbert ‘Mac’ Mackay-Fraser, who sadly became the first Lotus works driver to lose his life in competition.

Outside of the main classes, special features celebrated the Jaguar E-type and Great British Design Icons, and the show welcomed collector Harry Metcalfe, co-founder of EVO and presenter of YouTube channel Harry’s Garage.

The final day saw the launch of the inaugural Supercar Day, in association with the Drivers Union. The exclusive club brought along 50 of its members’ finest models, which graced the HAC lawns alongside those rare and collectable cars that made up the main attraction.

City skyline never fails to impress as cars gather for the London Concours.

AFTER THE CINCINNATI Concours d’Elegance had to take a year’s sabbatical because of the pandemic, neither the warm weather nor cicadas could dull the enthusiasm on the weekend of June 11-13, when thousands of car enthusiasts once again made their way to Ault Park in the Hyde Park part of the city. For the 43rd running of the event, the organisers gathered together 200 automobiles and motorcycles from across the country and abroad, but they gave special prominence to their featured theme: An Exhibition of Motorsport Excellence.

The contending models were displayed in six different racing classes, and exhibits included such rarities as a 1958 Jaguar HK Special, 1937 BMW Competition and 1968 Ford GT40 Mk1, as well as the 1965 Ferrari 250LM

that won the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours.

There were further stand-out Indy cars displayed by chosen Honoured Collector Bob McConnell of Urbana, Ohio. This display included historically significant Indy 500 participants such as the 1960 Watson Offy Roadster, which ran in the great race five times (1960-1964) and was the 500 winner in 1960 with Jim Rathmann behind the wheel.

This year’s Best of Show was a 1929 Duesenberg J-118 Bohman & Schwartz Sedan owned by Greg Ornazian of Troy, Michigan, while an international collector from Madrid, Spain walked away with the Best of Show Esprit de Sport with his superb 1961 Chaparral 1.

Owned by Jose Fernandez, it was displayed by restorer Bruce Amster of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

A perfect vantage point from which to view the Cincinnati Concours.

112

THE PANDEMIC THREATENED to curtail many an event this year, and the Concours d’Elegance Suisse faced much uncertainty. However, the Swiss government’s relaxing of events rules allowed the organisers to host a gathering, if not quite a full concours show.

Within just 15 days, Mathias Doutreleau, the co-founder of the event, gathered 90 cars via invites to local collectors. The message was simple – bring the automobile you love most.

Proper judging and prize giving had not been approved by the authorities due to the risks of groups of people in close proximity, so instead cars were collected in different classes, owners free to chat to like-minded enthusiasts in the grounds of the Château de Coppet.

Among the highlights were a 1937 Bugatti Type 57 SC (chassis 57502) and a 1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Playboy two-seater with a body from Brewster of New York – a rare find in Europe. There was also a colossal 1935 Maybach SW38 and a two-tone Chapron-bodied 1938 Delahaye Coupé Sport.

Post-war cars included a wonderfully proportioned Viotti-bodied 1957 Fiat 600 Coupé and a 1955 Bristol 405 with a rare four-seat drophead coupé body by Abbott of Farnham. There were further delights in the form of a Vignale-bodied 1967 Lancia Flavia Cabriolet and a Graber-bodied 1963 Alvis TD21 DHC. With the worst of the pandemic hopefully behind us, a full return for this fine concours is planned for 2022.

THE HEVENINGHAM CONCOURS in Suffolk will return for summer 2022 with its fifth annual motor sport and aviation event. The well loved fixture on the European concours scene was forced to sit out both 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each event hosts more than 50 of the world’s most beautiful cars, while the aviation concours features around a dozen rare propeller planes. The judges award Laurence Edwards-designed bronze trophies in the Post-War, Pre-War and Supercar Classes, plus the Hanna Aviation Trophy. There’s also a separate prize for the winner of Horsepower Hill, a timed sprint along the estate’s main

drive. The 2019 event hosted 60 stunning cars from an 1898 Panhard et Levassor M2F to a Ferrari Monza SP1. Williams Heritage also sent four Formula 1 cars.

In the concours, a 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B Monoposto won the Pre-War Class, while the Post-War Class was taken by a 1967 Ferrari 275GTB/4. The Supercar Class crown went to a 1993 Jaguar XJ220S, and a 1931 8 Litre Roadster by Corsica won the Bentley Trophy.

All proceeds and profits go into the Heveningham Hall Country Fair Trust, which funds the Air Ambulance and many other local cases of need, schools and sports groups. It also provides a full ‘i-mobility’ design scholarship at the RCA.

Other notable entrants were a Fiat 850 Shellette Spiaggina, which took the Registro Fiat Award, and the Mauto Award-winning Panda-Stola Destriero.

One of only two built, the latter was the tender for the Destriero, the boat designed to conquer the Nastro Azzurro record from New York to England.

The new Back to the Future award shone a light on cars with ‘nonconservative’ restorations. The winning Maggiore 308M based on the Ferrari 308GTS made famous by Magnum PI held off strong opposition from a Datsun

240Z. Maranello would also be victorious in the Forever Young class, with a Ferrari 208GTB Turbo taking first place.

A celebration of the 30-year career of Fabrizio Giugiaro saw his early 1991 BMW Nazca M12 sit alongside his latest GFG Vision 2030 Desert Raid. The Giugiaro Prize for his father’s work went to a rare ASA 1000GT Coupé, while another Giugiaro-related design – a Fiat Panda Mondiali Cabriolet Italia 90 – would take the Hetica Klassik Fund Trophy, representing the best investment.

Fiat’s 1100 Sport Barchetta MM took Best in Show as well as the Spirit of 1000 Miglia Award, having competed in the 1948 road race. Elsewhere, the glamorous St Moritz Prize went to a Fiat 600 Jolly Ghia, while a Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible won the La Dolce Vita class.

Sardinian sun, sea and sand set off a spectacular array of classics.

THE CAVALLINO CLASSIC Concorso di Modena is a new concours set up by the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic organisers. In the 30th anniversary year of that event, the team decided to bring the concours to the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari and, along the way, gather cars and collectors from four continents.

Held during the Motor Valley Fest, the Concorso di Modena was originally planned to be a one-off, but such was its success that it will return in 2022. One of the highlights was a parade of Ferrari’s finest through the streets of Modena.

The GT Class winner/Best of Show was the 1954 250 Europa exhibited at that year’s Brussels Motor Show, while top prize and Best of Show in the Competition Class went to a Touringbodied, ex-Le Mans 1951 340 America.

Elsewhere, there were awards for the 410 Superamerica 1959 Geneva Salon car, 1966 275GTS ordered by Steve McQueen, 250GT Cabriolet 1957 Frankfurt show star and 250GT LWB Berlinetta Scaglietti TdF that competed at the Mille Miglia and Monza between 1956-1958.

Massimo Bottura gave a special award to the 1951 340 America that won the Competition Class, while Cavallino chairman Luigi Orlandini bestowed the 1963 275P (originally a 250P) ex-Le Mans racer with a further prize as well.

Fifteen cars received the Platinum Award after being judged according to the rules established by the International Advisory Council for the Preservation of the Ferrari Automobile (IAC/PFA).

THE ANNUAL CARTIER Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance has been a major attraction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed since 1995. Over the past 26 years, more than 1300 exceptional vehicles have competed on the Cartier Lawn, with a 1937 Delahaye 135M by Figoni et Falaschi, a 1932 Isotta Fraschini Sedanca de Ville and a stunning 1937 Alfa Romeo 2.9 Spyder by Touring in the very first 1995 Cartier setting the tone and standard for the many editions that have followed.

Past Cartier judges have numbered artists, sports stars, designers and performers, including Star Wars creator George Lucas, Apple chief designer Jonathan Ive, Royal Ballet principal dancer Darcey Bussell and royal

furniture maker Viscount David Linley.

Judges this year included car designer Gordon Murray, model and presenter Jodie Kidd and the Earl of Snowdon.

For 2021, the overall winner was Marc Newson’s stunning Lancia Stratos, with a Lamborghini Countach LP400 ‘Periscopio’ taking the class victory for wedge designs. It wasn’t all exotica, because to celebrate the Renault 4’s 60th birthday ‘people’s cars’ such as the Mini, Citroën 2CV and Volkswagen Beetle rubbed shoulders with the supercars. The class victory here went to Dave Rippard’s 1959 Morris Mini-Minor.

The nominated charity for 2021 was the local Chichester St Paul’s Church, and specifically its work caring for the needy in the community.

Roadgoing Stratos owned by industrial designer Marc Newson was the overall winner.

THE GROUNDS OF the elegant Copshaholm mansion played host to the third running of this concours, hosted by the Studebaker National Museum and underwritten by LaVine Restorations and The JBS Collection. Burt Levy, author of the acclaimed Last Open Road series, was 2021’s featured guest.

Over 70 vehicles graced 11 classes.

Featured marques included Cadillac and Buick, complemented by custom-bodied Full Classics, Brass-Era automobiles, American sports cars, British sports cars and an exquisite collection of tailfinned luxury cruisers from the 1950s.

US motorcycles, muscle cars and vintage racing cars rounded out the show’s slate.

The Best of Show went to a glorious 1914 Rolls-Royce 40-50 Silver Ghost, and People’s Choice to a 1954 Kaiser

Darrin, one of just 435 built. A similarly rare 1952 Muntz Jet won Chairman’s Choice, and the President’s Choice went to a 1954 Swallow Doretti.

A supercharged 335bhp 1964 Daytona was declared the Most Outstanding Studebaker. A 1957 Eldorado Brougham won the Standard of the World Award for Cadillacs. The Burt Levy Digs This Car award went to a 1957 Tanner T6, and the Master of Ceremonies award went to a 1961 Imperial LeBaron Southampton.

Next year will celebrate Hudson and Nash, Packard, Pierce-Arrow and Peerless, and American pony cars. Jeep and American Motors Corporation vehicles, 1925-1942 Chryslers, two-door ‘Personal Luxury’ models and German cars will also get their own classes. Studebaker’s Avanti will be cherished on its 60th birthday, too.

THE 11TH MISSELWOOD Concours defeated the fears of rain to deliver a great selection of classics, along with a deserving Best of Show winner in a 1914 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.

The car was built with the special instructions – “Make any alterations to car for the Austrian Alpine Trial” – and ten days after the chassis left RollsRoyce, James Radley and factory test driver Tubby Ward won that exact event.

As a result, the car was dubbed The Alpine Eagle. It was subsequently used for publicity purposes, but with the outbreak of war and the likely financial threats to the company, the body was removed and the chassis sold.

It would end up in New York, with fresh clothes from Brewster, and would

be rebodied twice more. By the late 1940s it was converted into a truck for a Connecticut farm. Just before the turn of the millennium, the car was found by the current owners in derelict condition.

Steve Littin restored it back to 1914 Alpine Trial condition himself.

Elsewhere at Misselwood Brit classics were celebrated, with class victories for a Gordon-Keeble, Vincent Black Shadow and a brace of E-type Jaguars. However, the British didn’t get it all their own way, with a 1973 BMW 3.0 CS Coupé winning Vintage Sport and GT (From 1971). A fellow German was victorious in the Valle R Nelson Memorial Trophy, given to the car driven the furthest distance to the event. The winner was Ann Fagan’s 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster.

Misselwood Concours always delivers a great selection of classic vehicles.

HILLSBOROUGH MAY HAVE taken place over one day, but it was the culmination of three days of celebrating all things automotive, as befits the world’s longest-running concours.

Following a kick-off party on the Friday, and Saturday’s trip around the Californian countryside for the Tour d’Elegance, the concours saw a tripleprize win for Aaron and Valerie Weiss’s 1937 Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet. One of just 50 believed extant, it was first bought in Stuttgart before being brought to the US by an army captain. In later life it went to Belgium and Germany, before returning to the US in 2016.

Of the CCCA Approved Classics and Honourary Judges Trophies winner, as well as Best In Show recipient, Mr Weiss said: “It has great lines, and is elegant,

very fast and extremely comfortable.

We’re deeply honoured to have won at Hillsborough – an event that we have enjoyed attending and supporting.”

There were further multiple winners, too. Karra L Canum’s 1935 BMW 315/1 Sport Roadster took the People’s Choice and Candy Store President’s Awards, while a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr belonging to Markus Firmann scooped the Elwood Hansen – Best Closed Pre-WW2 Car and American Pre-War to 1946 Awards.

“This year’s concours exceeded all expectations in terms of both entrants and attendance,” said chairman Glen Egan. “After missing last year, it was especially gratifying to witness the enduring enthusiasm from the car community, and sense the feeling of being back together, sharing our passion.”

World’s longestrunning concours got a big thumbsup after an enforced year off.

RUN BY COOL Cars for Kids, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping children born with genetic diagnoses and birth defects, the Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance supports the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Since 2017, the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum has hosted an event-packed weekend that celebrates classic American and European vehicles built before the 1970s, with premier-level judges casting their vote. The public also have the opportunity to get involved by displaying their vehicles in the Car Corral.

This year, top honours went to Irwin Kroiz’s 1956 Corvette SR-2, built for the son of Chevrolet’s design boss, Harley Earl. Jerome, or Jerry, was racing a Ferrari,

much to the chagrin of GM’s executives.

So his ’Vette got heavy-duty suspension and drum brakes, with Houdaille rotary rear dampers. The nose was lowered and stretched 14in, with a vented bonnet and aerodynamic headlight cones, while the parking lights beneath were turned into brake-cooling air intakes. In recent years it has been restored back to 1956 condition by current owner Kroiz.

Elsewhere in the concours, Corvettes would take victories in the Sports Car and Best Post-War Car classes, while a brace of Brits won the Best Open Car and Best Closed Car class titles.

Next year the concours will hold The Celebration of the Snakes featuring the Ford Shelby Cobra and Dodge Viper.

Corvette Grand Sport brought extra muscle to the Philadelphia concours party.

ONE OF THE longest-running and most prestigious concours events, Michigan’s Concours d’Elegance of America never fails to deliver an outstanding array of historically important and rarely seen vehicles.

Since 2011, The Inn at St John’s has hosted the event, only taking a break in 2020 due to COVID-19. The event returned in fine form for 2021, starting off with a ride-and-drive event on the Friday, or an automotive art exhibition for those who preferred something a little more sedate.

Later that evening, Kip Sheward MotorSports hosted a relaxed Battle of the Brands barbecue, or there was the option of the Cars under the Stars dinner, which featured live jazz and a display of 30 vehicles spanning 100 years of the automobile.

Saturday offered a packed day of cars, coffee and ride-and-drive events, plus the Concours d’Lemons for those who liked things with an alternative zest. In the evening, the Chairman’s Dinner honoured collector Joseph Cassini III and designer Moray Callum.

Sunday was, of course, all about the concours, with 300 cars taking to the well manicured lawns, and everything from late-1800s machines lining up with the latest hypercar exotica.

The Best in Show prize was split into two, with the best American car title going to The Patterson Collection’s 1937 Cadillac Series 90, while a 1953 Ferrari 250MM from Cultivated Collector took the Foreign title.

BEST IN SHOW (AMERICAN) 1937 Cadillac Series 90 (Jim Patterson/The Patterson Collection). Also won America Classic Open, Best in Class.

The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering

T HE QUAIL, A MOTOR S PO RTS G AT HER I N G

Location Quail Lodge & Golf Club, Carmel, CA, US Organiser The Peninsula Signature Events Judging process A unique system where class winners are chosen by entrants in that class, and Best of Show is chosen by all entrants participating in the event Attendance figures 5000 Honouree F1 Champion Jenson Button Marques celebrated Automotive Couture: French Cars Featuring the 50th Anniversary of the Citroën SM, Cars of Curiosity, 50th Anniversary of the Alfa Romeo Montreal Top sponsors Rolex, Bonhams, Lotus Charity Rancho Cielo, Naval Postgraduate School Alumni Foundation Next year August 19, 2022 Website peninsula.com/signatureevents Closest airport Monterey Regional Airport

THE PICTURESQUE LAWNS of Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel played host to the finest examples of automotive art, leading motoring celebrities and high-end vehicles and displays.

This year’s gathering included some of the most iconic French cars ever built, featuring the 50th Anniversary of the Citroën SM, while the likes of Jenson Button, Magnus Walker, Ant Anstead Singer Vehicle Design founder Rob Dickinson and Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley were all in attendance.

A 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster was awarded the Rolex Circle of Champions Best of Show title out of more than 200 entrants. Owned by K Heinz Keller from California, the 540K was selected for its design, engineering, sophistication and presentation. Keller

acquired the car in 1986 from a private owner in Colorado, and put it through an eight-year ground-up restoration.

The show recognised several stand-out vehicles with awards for themed classes and special, event-wide accolades. Unlike in most other concours-inspired shows, class winners are picked by their respective class entrants, while the prestigious Best of Show award is voted on by the entire pool of exceptionally knowledgeable entrants rather than by a panel of judges.

Other highlights included 12 vehicle debuts and premieres from seven automotive manufacturers such as Lotus, Bentley, RUF, Pagani, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus and Rimac, along with the world debut of the Lamborghini Countach. The day ended with a superb after-party celebration.

The Quail featured highend vehicles, automotive art and motoring celebrities.

THE PEBBLE BEACH Concours made history of its own at the culmination of its 70th celebration; a total of 38 former Best of Show winners were on hand to welcome a newcomer to their ranks.

This year, out of 230 collector cars, the winner was The Keller Collection’s 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Autobahn Kurier. It was lauded for its aerodynamic design, advanced engineering and high performance. The only one still extant of two built, its victory is the ninth for Mercedes-Benz, tying the marque with Bugatti for the most Best of Shows.

Other strong contenders included Joanie and Scott Kriens’ 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Corsica Drophead Coupé, the 1966 Ferrari 365 P Pininfarina Berlinetta Speciale shown by RQ Collections, and

Jonathan and Wendy Segal’s 1956 Maserati A6G Zagato Coupé.

More than $1.75 million was raised for charity in 2021, bringing total donations to over $32m and benefiting more than 90 local organisations. Gooding & Company’s $107m-plus sales included a recordbreaking $20,465,000 for a 1995 McLaren F1, $10,840,000 for a 1959 Ferrari 250GT LWB California Spider Competizione, $5,615,000 for a 1929 Bugatti Type 35B Grand Prix and $4,405,000 for a 1958 250GT Series I Cabriolet.

The 71st Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 21, 2022. It will celebrate Lincoln and Talbot-Lago Grand Sport, with additional special classes to be announced very soon.

THE CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE Zürich isn’t the biggest show on the collector car circuit, but the Bürkliplatz – perched on the shores of Lake Zürich and in the shadow of the Swiss National Bank – is a great place to show off some of the finest classics in the oldtimer and youngtimer scenes.

The big draw came from a pair of Alfa Romeo 6C 2300s built by Worblaufen for the 1938 Geneva Motor Show. Best of Show went to the Pescara model, while the Lungo version scooped the Best Unrestored and Best Pre-War Car award.

Elsewhere, a stunning blue 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing took first-place honours in the Best Documented Car and Best 1950s Car classes, while the 1961 Geneva Motor

Show Jaguar E-type Roadster won the special class dedicated to the car’s 60th birthday. The people’s choice award went to a 1957 Alvis Graber TC21 108 G, one of only 800 vehicles built by Hermann Graber in Wichtrach from 1926 to 1969.

Another special prize for this year’s event was dedicated to Plastic-Bodied Cars. While a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette C2 would eventually take the winner’s prize, the American classic faced stiff competition from a Nova GT (famed for its appearance in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange) and a Pulse Litestar BD-J5, which had a starring role in James Bond film Octopussy.

The next staging of the Concours D’Elegance Zürich is scheduled for August 17, 2022.

This Nova GT was part of stiff competition for event’s special prize for PlasticBodied Cars.

BEST IN SHOW – CONCORSO FERRARI 1955 Ferrari 250GT Europa (Kenneth Roath).

TAKING PLACE ONE week after the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the San Marino Motor Classic attracted a strong line-up of competitors across its many automotive classes.

The stand-out exhibitor was Kenneth Roath’s 1955 Europa. The exotic Ferrari bagged no fewer than three awards, including Best in Show in the Concorso Ferrari section; the Ferrari Club of America’s Southwest Region helps put on the show.

Elsewhere on the show field, Peter and Merle Mullin’s 1951 Delahaye Model 235 was a double award winner, scooping Best in Show for post-war cars along with the European Luxury Open class.

For those who were seeking more of an American rather than European flavour, the San Marino Motor Classic had plenty to offer. Big-block muscle cars were celebrated in two eras, with a stunning 1969 Chevrolet Camaro winning the 1962-1972 GM class, while a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra rumbled away with the non-GM title win.

There were three classes for Porsche and Mercedes-Benz alike, with a 1956 356A Speedster and 1956 300SC Roadster stirring plenty of interest respectively. British classics were well represented, with individual classes for Morgan, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

However, a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 was a definite highlight.

With 5000 visitors and a varied selection of classics, this event is the perfect post-Pebble Beach chaser.

THE NETHERLANDS’ CONCOURS d’Elegance is back for 2022 after COVID-19 forced its late postponement in 2021. Given the enviable reputation the event has developed over the years, firstly with Vintage automobiles and more recently with a much broader remit, it promises to be quite a celebration.

Since moving from Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn to Paleis Soestdijk, the Dutch royal family’s former residence, in 2019, the backdrop of the 170-room mansion has provided a great setting for a wide variety of vehicles. In 2019, 70 automobiles jostled to be the best in show, spread across classes as diverse as London-to-Brighton heroes and the

very finest coachbuilt models, along with more modern fare.

In 2020, in place of the usual concours, the event organisers ran the Tour d’Elegance and Royal Picnick, which started and finished at the palace, with the likes of a pre-war Bugatti taking part alongside an MGB. Returning to its usual format for 2022, there will be plenty to see away from the cars, with period food trucks and retro clothing stalls to enjoy among the palace’s expansive gardens. For next year the main theme will be Italian Carrozzeria, so expect an abundance of that country’s flair to be in evidence across the last weekend of August.

Dino 246GT and F40 – landmark Ferraris in a royal setting.

SALON PRIVÉ ONCE again returned to Blenheim Palace for five days of automotive excitement, from concours judging to rally cars tackling the roads around the estate on the Sunday.

The 90 Years of Pininfarina celebration planned for 2020 was carried over, and saw the first Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona delivered to the UK, a rare right-handdrive 275GTS and a 330GTS that was displayed at the 1967 Turin Motor Show.

In the end, an Alfa Romeo took class honours – a 1963 Giulia 1600 Spider, one of 404 right-hand-drive cars made.

However, Ferrari would spearhead The Red Collection with the 250GTO chassis 4399 GT as supplied to Maranello Concessionaires’ Colonel Ronnie Hoare in 1963. It shared space on the cricket

pitch with exceptional cars in a similarly red hue, from a 1927 Amilcar C6 to the only original red McLaren F1.

A competition car of a different kind would take the Preservation and the People’s Choice Awards – a 1955 Aston Martin DB2 as entered into the 1956 Monte Carlo Rally. Another double winner was a 1972 De Tomaso Mangusta, which scooped the Low-Slung Sportscar and the Churchill Awards. The Best of Show 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A also took the Pre-War Tourers class. Chassis no. 154076 combines the two-seater Cabriolet A coachwork with the longer-wheelbase chassis.

Salon Privé promises much more for 2022, with an additional concours set for central London in April.

Sir Winston Churchill’s ancestral home gives Salon Privé event a suitably grand feel.

AFTER SITTING OUT 2020 and 2021, the Concours South Africa will roar back into life for 2022 in the grounds of Steyn City. Judging by the previous event, the fifth promises to be a scorcher. In 2019 visitors had a chance to soak up a diverse selection of international exotica and homegrown heroes, such as South African-market motor sport homologation specials from BMW, Ford and Alfa Romeo.

The event usually starts with a charity auction, while previous functions have seen the likes of Formula 1 designer Rory Byrne being inducted into the South African Hall of Fame. An auction has already seen such rarities as a 1992

Porsche 964 N/GT and 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 go under the hammer.

In 2019, the concours’ Best of Show was the Campher brothers’ Dino 246GT, which narrowly won out over a BMW 325iS E30 and VW Type 2 Split-Window Kombi. In 2018, a 1989 Ferrari 328GTS took overall honours with 207 points, although the gap between it and the second-place 1969 365GTB/4 and a 1970 Porsche 911 S was just 0.275 points.

It’s not just about the cars, because the event celebrates timeless style and elegance across art, fashion and cuisine.

With the abundant pleasures of the Steyn City resort to take in, Concours South Africa has plenty to offer for 2022.

SET IN THE grounds of the beautiful Hampton Court Palace, the Concours of Elegance brings out the finest cars with the most fascinating stories. This was particularly the case with the Best in Show Avions Voisin C27 Aérosport.

Designed by Gabriel Voisin and architect André Noël-Noël Telmont, it was created for the 1934 Paris Motor Show on a shortened Aérodyne chassis.

Major themes incorporated Coachbuilt Rolls-Royces – including the original Silver Ghost, AX201, now in private hands after being hidden in Bentley’s own collection for many years – and European Coachbuilt Greats, plus Gulf and Martini-liveried competition cars.

The latter celebration brought out many storied Lancias and Porsches, although the 917K 1970s class winner was truly

special having been driven in various guises at Le Mans by the likes of Derek Bell, Richard Attwood and Brian Redman.

A 1921 Bamford & Martin A3, the oldest-surviving Aston Martin, won the 1920s class. The Berlinetta Class saw victory for the storied 1957 Ferrari 250GT Tour de France first supplied to Jacques Swaters for use by the Belgian Ecurie Francorchamps race team.

Looking ahead to 2022, the Concours will celebrate its tenth birthday in style with plans to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen’s 70th year as monarch. Royal cars from around the world are invited to take part, including the Rolls-Royces so beloved by the Maharajahs. There will also be a new 40UNDER40 feature, which will showcase 40 cars from enthusiasts younger than 40 years old.

The finest cars with the most fascinating stories displayed in manicured palace grounds.

FOUNDED IN 2001, the ASC-ClassicGala Schwetzingen is the only International Concours d’Elegance in Germany that’s run to FIVA regulations.

Each event sees 160 vehicles arranged in the huge circular baroque Garden of Schloss, Schwetzingen, near Heidelberg.

Since 2010, the event has also been the only USCCC-approved German classic car event for American automobiles.

The jury is made up of 30 celebrities and experts in engineering, design, history and crafts. In keeping with the gala theme, the event is described as a “festive presentation of architecture, gardens, automobiles, fashion, live music and attractions at the highest level”.

In previous years, Classic-Gala Schwetzingen has celebrated jubilees for Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Opel, Lancia,

Skoda and Volvo. The 2021 event marked 100 years of Maybach and Carrozzeria Ghia, 110 years of Chevrolet and 60 years of the Jaguar E-type.

With cars from 1885 right up to 1995 rubbing shoulders, the winner needed to be something very special... and it was.

Best of Show was an ex-Pebble Beachwinning 1959 Chrysler Ghia Special GS-1, which saw off fierce competition from a Maybach DS8 Zeppelin V12 Sports Roadster and a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II by James Young.

Other highlights included a 1959 Fiat 600 Zagato Elaborata, which won the class for vehicles produced between 1955 and 1960, while stunning examples of the BMW M635 CSi, Maserati Ghibli and Mercedes-Benz 600 were also among the trophy winners.

Magnificent Chrysler GS-1 was a marriage of American brawn and European design flair.

THE CONCOURS D’ELÉGANCE of Dinard is the oldest concours in France, having held its first event on September 4, 1921. Between 1921-1939, personalities from the arts and automotive and fashion industries, as well as the international aristocracy, mingled on Dinard’s beautiful waterfront. The likes of Mrs Citroën, Mr d’Albert Lake, Mrs Betty Spell and the Grand Duke Cyrille of Russia participated in these concours d’élégance.

The Dinard Elégance event returned in 2018 with the support of the City of Dinard, and 2021’s 100-year celebration was an event to savour. It all began on Friday September 3, with a rendezvous at the Grand Hôtel Barrière for a short scenic tour, and then a centenary celebration at the Plage de l’Ecluse, with

a cocktail reception at the Salon de la Mer in the Casino. Aside from the concours itself, 140 crews took on the Tour d’Elégance, leaving from Dinard, Rennes and Fougères to meet up at Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, before a spot of lunch at Port Breton Park. In the evening, the concours saw an excellent variety of classics paraded under spotlights in the Port Breton Manor.

As befits the centenary year, French cars were particularly focused on.

Accordingly, a 1948 Delahaye 135 Faget Varnet took home the Voiture Française (ACF), while a Ballot 3/8 LC with 1921 Italian Grand Prix history was awarded the Prix Spécial du Jury. It wasn’t all exotics, though; a 1956 Renault 4CV won the Spirit of FIVA award.

THE ANTWERP CONCOURS was back for its 16th edition in 2021, after taking a year out for COVID-19. It was blessed with some early-September sun – all the better to see the gleam emanating from its Best in Show car, a 1948 Delahaye 135M bodied by Figoni et Falaschi.

This Delahaye is styled in the manner of the influential Pasha of Marrakesh T’hami El Glaoui. His chosen design – a four-seat GT with three-position cabriolet roof – became popular, and 18 cars were built to similar spec. This example, one of nine believed extant, was commissioned

by Prince João Henrique of OrléansBraganza, who shipped it to Portugal and then Brazil. It was later restored in Prague, and came to Belgium in 2019.

Other notable winners included a one-off 1956 Arnolt-Bristol Deluxe with Bertone coachwork. After appearing at the 1956 Paris Motor Show it was sent to Chicago, where it was damaged in a showroom fire in December 1956. The remains were finally restored in 2013.

Meanwhile, the Best Provenance award went to one of four Talbot AV105 cars built for the Fox and Nicholl race team, while Porsche Speedsters and Spiders was won by 550-016, the 1955 Solitude Rally victor in the hands of Josef Jeser.

An ex-Colonel Ronnie Hoare Ferrari 250GT SWB, one of two right-handdrive cars built, took the public vote.

It has a competition drivetrain and 100-litre fuel tank, but was bodied in steel. Meanwhile, the judges’ affections were piqued by a 1956 Apal-DKW special.

BEST OF SHOW 1931 Chrysler Imperial CG Victoria by Waterhouse (Henry Hallowell III).

Also Imperial Pre-War Best in Class.

AFTER A YEAR’S postponement, the 24th annual Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance was finally held in September 2021, on the event’s traditional weekend after Labor Day. Following a welcome barbeque on Friday night, a rally through the beautiful rolling hills of Chester County, and a black-tie Gala on Saturday night, the concours itself was bathed in a sunny glow. This year was particularly special because of a partnership with the American Bugatti Club, which held its annual three-day tour in conjunction with Radnor Hunt, culminating with all its cars in the rally and on the show field.

As well as the Bugattis, the concours specially featured Chrysler Imperials, Ferraris That Are Not Red and Superbikes of the 1970s. Honoured guests included Judy Stropus, Ken Gross, Dave Roper, George Alderman and Jim Stranberg. The careful reopening of outdoor activities in Pennsylvania and a beautiful sunny weekend resulted in record attendance, enthusiastic sponsor participation and substantial funds raised for charity.

Best of Show was Henry Hallowell III’s 1931 Chrysler Imperial CG Victoria

by Waterhouse, while the People’s Choice award went to Christopher Rheault’s 1926 Bugatti Type 37 GP, which also scooped Bugatti Racing Best in Class.

The Simeone Foundation’s 1937 Bugatti 57G ‘Tank’, which won the 1937 Le Mans 24 Hours, was also in attendance. Next year the Radnor Hunt Concours will celebrate its 25th anniversary – so put September 9-11, 2022 in your diary now.

FORMED IN 1935, the Aston Martin Owners Club is one of the oldest owners’ clubs in the world and the only officially recognised membership organisation for the marque. Active in more than 50 countries across the globe, it currently has a membership of more than 7000.

The AMOC celebrated its Autumn Concours at Harewood House in Yorkshire. Designed by architects John Carr and Robert Adam, the house was built between 1759 and 1771 for Edwin Lascelles, the first Baron of Harewood.

Today its bird garden is home to more than five vulnerable or endangered breeds, and the house and its grounds have been used for several television and film productions, including the Downton Abbey film.

The weekend started with a beautiful drive through the Yorkshire Dales on the Saturday, stopping for a barbecue at Grantley Hall in Ripon, sponsored by Aston Martin Leeds (JCT600). The Autumn Concours itself saw a large spread of cars from across the eras, with the leading prize in the Elite Class going to Sheila Campbell’s 1932 New International. It was a close battle, with half a point’s gap to Tom Westley’s 1970 DB6 Mk2, and another half-point gap to Roger Napper’s 2003 Vanquish V12.

Newer models were well represented, too, and the Entry on the Day class was fiercely contested among cars from the 1960s right up to the present day. Next year’s event will be held at Loseley Park, near Guildford in Surrey.

THE BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS of the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains were a fitting backdrop for a sumptuous collection of racing and roadgoing icons at Motorsport Rendezvous.

This event revives the International St Moritz Automobile Week, first held in the 1920s. The week began with the return of the Kilometre Race, with Engadin Airport providing its runway for high-speed runs.

For 2021 there was no judging in the concours, with a garden-party vibe similar to that of The Quail event in the US. Afterwards, owners could take on the Bernina Gran Turismo, a blast up the testing and twisty 5.6km Bernina Pass.

Among the concours highlights was a works Mini Cooper S, GRX 309D, which

saw action on the San Remo Rally in 1966 with Paddy Hopkirk at the wheel before going on to become a recce car for the Acropolis and Alpine rallies later that year. A nearby Lancia Stratos showed just how far the sport would progress in around a decade.

It wasn’t just rally cars, with an ex-Alessandro Nannini/Nicola Larini Alfa Romeo 155 DTM/ITC touring car looking resplendent in its Martini livery.

And the road cars on display were similarly spectacular. A Ferrari Enzo was joined by its Maserati sister, an MC12 Stradale (one of just 50). In the classic car realm, a selection of Porsches lined up with 105-series Alfa Romeo GTs, while new models from Hispano Suiza and De Tomaso were also showcased.

St Moritz’s Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains provided the setting for the concours.

HIGHLIGHTS

New models on display included the electric-powered Hispano Suiza.

THE BRIDGE MARKED its fifth anniversary by returning to the grounds of the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit, now The Bridge Golf Club.

This year’s invite-only, non-judged exhibition featured its largest showcase yet of rare cars, with more than 320 lined up across the rolling fairways overlooking the Peconic Bay. Alexander Calder’s ‘Artist’s Proof’ version of the 1975 E9 CSL Batmobile Art Car made its US debut, just after its reveal at the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin. It realises Calder’s dream of owning his own example of the first BMW Art Car. Ferrari’s 296GTB also made its North American debut, while Lamborghini showed off its Aventador LP780-4 Ultimae. The new car lined up alongside

a Countach display to celebrate 50 years of Sant’Agata’s wedgy wild child. The vintage selection was a feast for the Tifosi, with all three GTO models in attendance – 250, 288 and 599 – and one of each model from the Ferrari Challenge racing series (348, 355, 360, 430, 458 and 488). Of course, Lamborghini was well represented with examples of the Miura, Espada and Jarama.

British fans had plenty to see, with a gathering of Jaguar XJ220s supported by the XKC, XKD and XKSS, while McLaren Longtails were celebrated with the 600LT, 675LT and 765LT, as well as the Senna GTR and Sabre.

German fans were catered for with several Mercedes-Benz 300SLs, Porsche 935s, 2.7RSs and a 993 GT2.

British classics from McLaren and Jaguar rub shoulders with German racing heroes.

AFTER TAKING TWO years out due to COVID-19, the Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance will return to the perfectly manicured 18th hole of the Cobble Beach Golf Resort Community.

Previous events have seen more than 100 classic and Vintage automobiles make their way to the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay to compete in 16 classes.

In 2019, Best in Show went to a 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet, while two Porsche-only classes made their debut, with an exquisite 1967 911S Targa taking the Classic Porsche title. Porsche returns for 2022 as the major sponsor.

The concours is only part of the location’s treats – there are world-class

golfing activities and a spa to enjoy, and if you’re making a week of it there are 14km of hiking trails to explore, along with an opportunity to take in Cobble Beach’s 260ft day dock.

Proceeds from the concours will help build the new home of Sunnybrook’s Garry Hurvitz Brain Sciences Centre, the only facility in Canada where worldclass researchers and clinicians will work together to revolutionise treatment of the three most common brain disorders – dementia, stroke, and mood and anxiety disorders. The event also raises money for Owen Sound Regional Hospital, which treats patients from Grey and Bruce counties and beyond.

AFTER A THREE-year break, the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille concours returns for 2022. Over the past five events the Château de Chantilly has played host to one of Europe’s pre-eminent automobile shows, with André Le Nôtre’s 17th century garden contrasting supremely with the 20thand 21st-century greats crafted by everyone from Bugatti to Honda.

Previous classes have included those for the Iso Rivolta, post-war Aston Martin racing cars, Facel Vega, Japanese sports cars, McLaren racing cars and Bentley.

Meanwhile, individual designers have also been celebrated; for the previous running of the event, Marcello Gandini

was honoured with a line-up of wedgy wonders from Bugatti, Lamborghini and Lancia. Chantilly offers two Best of Show awards; 2019’s top pre-war car was a 1931 Bentley 8 Litre Foursome Coupé, while a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupé took the post-war accolade.

Makers are always keen to show off their latest creations at the event, and an auction takes place, too. There’s also the chance to drive in the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Tour, a journey of around 100km through the region.

For 2022, Le Mans Classic scheduling has seen the event moved back to September, making this a fine way to see off the summer in style.

THE TALBOT COUNTRY Club, founded in 1910, is the oldest continuously operated golf and social club on the Eastern Shore, and sits along the banks of Trippe Creek near Oxford, Maryland – the perfect location for this celebration of historic wheeled art, held here for the first time.

Out of a field of 70 exceptional automobiles came the Best in Show, the 1936 Horch 853A Special Roadster, one of just seven, owned by Robert Jepson.

A new class dedicated to Jaguar Land Rover went the way of an E-type, a 1962 Roadster owned by James and Marcy Harris. Another example of the breed, a 1961 coupé owned by Thomas and Elizabeth Hamann, scooped the Gail and Henry Petronis Trophy for the Most Elegant Closed Car. This particular

example was one of three E-types used by the Jaguar factory to present the new model to the international media in 1961.

The oldest entry, and probably the noisiest, was the 1904 Thomas Model 22 Touring ‘Flyer’ belonging to the Evergreen Collection. It won the PreWar American class.

Every major concours should include a Duesenberg, and the Duesy at the 2021 St Michaels was the 1930 Model J Convertible Sedan of the Auburn-CordDuesenberg Museum, which won the coveted People’s Choice Award.

The 1954 Dodge Firearrow IV concept car owned by Sonny and Joan Abagnale originally toured the ’54 auto show circuit and foresaw the Dual-Ghia of the late 1950s. It won the Chairman’s Award, given in memory of David L George II.

DAMP WEATHER DIDN’T dampen the spirits at Switzerland’s Ascona Concours d’Elegance. The bright green and quite brilliant 1970 Lamborghini Miura S of Roland Hächler took Best of Show honours, as well as two class victories. In the hotly contested 1970s class the magnificent Miura triumphed against a 1972 Porsche 914 2.0 and a 1974 Citroën DS 23 Pallas, while in the Sports Car class it defeated a 1976 Lamborghini Urraco and a 1962 Ferrari 250GTE 2+2.

The Ferrari would scoop the 1960s class, however, beating off a 1964 Maserati 5000GT Allemano and a 1967 Jaguar E-type. Both of these cars would receive accolades of their own, though, with the Jaguar taking the Special Prize

marking 60 Years of the E-type, while the Maserati would win the Public Choice award. The striking red Italian model is just one of 22 Carrozzeria Allemano-bodied examples built, out of a mere 34 5000GTs ever created; its stylist was Giovanni Michelotti.

The Pre-War class was taken by a 1931 Bentley 8 Litre Drophead Coupé, which also won the Cabriolet class, while a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette C1 was victorious over a 1957 Fiat 600 Berlinetta and a 1954 Jaguar XK140 OTS in the 1950s class. The Fiat, an utterly charming two-tone example, did win a Special Prize, though.

Meanwhile, the accolade for Best Unrestored Car, sponsored by Chopard, went to a 1965 Fiat 850 Coupé.

AFTER A YEAR’S hiatus, the stars of the vintage automotive world were on full display at the Audrain Newport Concours and Motor Week.

The stunning and very rare 1953 Abarth 1100 Ghia owned by Bradley Calkins brought the crowd to their feet when it crossed the podium to receive the Best of Show award, while Doug Cohen’s 1968 Lamborghini Espada locked up the Most Elegant award.

Originally shown at the 1953 Turin Salon, Calkins’ Italian masterpiece features unique lightweight aerodynamic bodywork, and its stunning dove-gray paint is beautifully complemented by its blue leather interior.

The fact that the 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Spyder Vignale owned by Jeff and Frances Fisher took home the

Sporting Choice award was no surprise.

It was a true star among many in its class. Other notable winners included the 1951 Delahaye Model 235 Cabriolet of Peter and Merle Mullin, which won the Chairman’s Award.

The Founder’s Choice trophy was presented to Jim and Nancy Utaski for their 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Volante, while the People’s Choice award went to Phil Castaldo for his ultra-rare 1963 Z06 Corvette.

In all, the concours featured 180 vehicles, 59 judges from five countries, and 20 classes spanning the years 1899 to 1970, plus two 30 Under 30 categories. The brainchild of event chairman Jay Leno, these classes are for owners under 30 years old who have spent less than $30,000 on their car.

Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este

CONCOR S O D’ELEGA N Z A VI LL A D ’ EST E

Location Grand Hotel Villa d’Este, Lake Como, Cernobbio, Italy Organiser BMW Group Classic and Grand Hotel Villa d’Este Chairman Helmut Käs Head judge Lorenzo Ramaciotti Judging process Exclusive expert panel Marque celebrated Pininfarina at 90 Main sponsors A. Lange & Söhne, Vranken Pommery Monopole Next year May 20-22, 2022 Website concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com Closest airport Milan Malpensa

THE CONCORSO D’ELEGANZA Villa d’Este is a bucket-list event for any concours enthusiast. Europe’s finest and most intriguing cars line up on the shores of beautiful Lake Como, much as they have done since 1929, in the delightful surroundings of the villa itself.

Postponing the event from its traditional May date didn’t have an effect on the quality of cars on show. For the seventh year running an Italianmade model scooped Best of Show: a 1956 Ferrari 250GT Tour de France. The TdF’s first owner certainly got stuck in with his new Maranello machine – the first thing he did after registering it for the road was to tackle the Mille Miglia.

Current keeper Brian Ross said: “This award means everything to me – I hugely appreciate the jury’s decision to

honour this very special automobile.”

The event also honoured Pininfarina’s 90th birthday, with a 250 California SWB taking class honours. The design house would be successful elsewhere, with the Ferrari F40 taking the most iconic car class, while the Automobili Pininfarina Battista won the class for concepts.

Villa d’Este always brings out some of the planet’s rarest cars, and the winner of the Trofeo ASI for Best-Preserved PostWar Car was certainly an oddity – a 1968 Howmet TX Coupe, which blends a Bob McKee Engineering chassis and Continental Aviation and Engineering TS325-1 gas turbine with 350bhp and 650lb ft of torque. It ran in the Group 6 Prototype Under-3000cc category.

The concours returns to its usual May slot in the calendar for 2022.

Villa d’Este is the traditional venue for a truly elegant event that hosts some of the world’s rarest cars.

THE ZOUTE CONCOURS d’Elégance

by EY brought automotive aficionados together for a sumptuous selection of automotive treats at the Royal Zoute Golf Club as part of the wider Zoute Grand Prix event.

The concours itself drew on cars from across the age spectrum, many with stories to savour. The winner of the PreWar Competition class, a 1936 Delahaye Type 135 S Figoni, had extensive competition history at Le Mans, the GP de Belgique and the GP de l’ACF, and was highly competitive in hillclimbs.

At the other end of the spectrum, one of only either two or four (depending on your sources) Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato Spiders won the Post-War Open Fresh Air For 2 class. Keeping to the Italian theme, the Most Special and Unique Bodywork title went to the 1971 Ferrari 365GTB/4 Michelotti NART Spider.

This car started life as a coupé, but after it was crashed it was sent to Carrozzeria Michelotti Torino to be reconstructed as a Michelotti NART Spider.

The Best in Show title was split into two eras – pre-war and post-war. The pre-war title went to a 1924 Lancia Lambda Casaro, believed to be the first prototype of the six cars bodied in such a way, bought new by Count Zborowski.

Post-War Best In Show went to the only Lamborghini Countach LP400 produced in Argento Metallizzato with pelle Tobacco interior. It was restored under the supervision of Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni.

THE CHATTANOOGA MOTORCAR Festival held its belated second event in excellent style with a mix of Historic motor sport and concours d’elegance.

Key to the event was a tribute to Jim Pace, event chair and chief operating officer of the inaugural 2019 festival, who died of COVID-19 in 2020. A fleet of Lola race cars paraded in front of the podium while friends, family and racing dignitaries remembered the popular race driver from Mississippi.

The racing, renamed the Pace Grand Prix, featured a host of rare and exquisite endurance racers such as Lola T70s and Porsche 911s, plus open-wheel formula cars from the likes of Lotus and Reynard; in all there were eight Vintage, classic and modern motor sport classes to enjoy over the two days.

In the concours on the closed-off streets of Chattanooga’s West Village, a 1967 Ferrari 275GTB/4 NART Spyder owned by the Rare Wheels Collection won Best in Show, while the Timeless Elegance award went to Jack Boyd Smith’s 1936 Packard 12. The People’s Choice award went to Jeff Hardin’s 1950 Buick Special. For a younger audience, RADwood came along with a varied selection of cars and a concours class of its own. A battle between Ben O’Brien’s 1989 Ford Mustang Cobra R and Ted Uiterwyk’s 1981 VW Scirocco S was settled in Germany’s favour.

Elsewhere, the Gathering of the Greats: Ferrari Edition brought together some of Maranello’s most magnificent machines, including the 1948 Ferrari 166 Spider Corsa, a 1954 Ferrari 250 Monza and a 1985 288GTO.

250GT Tour de France was one of the stars of the Gathering of the Greats: Ferrari Edition.

BEST OF SHOW PRE-WAR

AFTER A TWO-year hiatus, The Las Vegas Concours welcomed a wide variety of cars from across the decades back onto the hallowed turf of the Las Vegas Ballpark. For this second staging, 100 classics converged for three days of marvellous motoring-related activities.

It began with the Concours d’Avant held at the Shelby Heritage Center on the Thursday night – a free event for concours attendees and members of the public alike. Once all the automobiles had been unloaded, Friday evening saw the ‘Field of Dream Cars’ invitation-only dinner party at the Las Vegas Ballpark for exhibitors, judges and sponsors.

The concours itself took place on the Saturday in sunny, 78-degree weather, with Best of Show intentionally awarded to both pre-war and post-war cars. In addition to a class victory for Post-War European Road Cars, Michael Hammer’s 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III took the Best of Show Post-War title. Best of Show Pre-War went to Michael Sullivan’s 1936 Packard Gentlemen’s Tailback Speedster, which also won the American 1948 and Earlier Open class.

A wide spread of class categories saw the likes of a 1995 Lamborghini Diablo VT on the same field as a 1913 MercedesBenz Model 37/95, all against a backdrop of superb food and live entertainment.

The event promises much for 2022, including a new Tour d’Elegance. The beneficiary is Miracle Flights, which conducts more than 600 flights per month to help children and adults reach the life-changing care they need.

MOTORCLASSICA IS AUSTRALIA’S pre-eminent international concours and classic motor show and, after two cancellations due to the pandemic, it looks set to return in style for 2022.

In accordance with other top global concours, Motorclassica – which takes place in the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building – usually starts with a road run. Tour Classica sees more than 70 classic cars and motorcycles cruise along scenic Melbourne routes the day before the concours. In 2019, it started at Alexandra Gardens, directly opposite Birrarung Marr and the Rod Laver Arena, on the south bank of the Yarra River. Participation in Tour Classica is

an important part of the concours judging, with a penalty of one point applied to all concours d’elegance entrants not taking part in the tour.

The concours is undoubtedly the big attraction of the three-day event, which sees more than 500 classics on display.

In 2019, 13 classes covered everything from pre-war to classic sports and the latest performance cars, with the prestigious Best of Show going to a 1959 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkIII. As we went to press the organisers were yet to confirm special classes for 2022, but expect a mix of international exotica and homegrown charm from the Holden and Ford Australia camps.

Majestic pre-war classics in the equally impressive Royal Exhibition Building.

Congratulations McKeel Hagerty and Matt Orendac!

THE 25TH GREENWICH Concours d’Elegance really moved the game on for 2021, with a packed schedule surrounding the prestigious main show.

Friday saw the Greenwich Grand Tour, which took the Greenwich and New York area, before a Hagerty-hosted welcome party for judges, sponsors, exhibitors and special guests.

Saturday’s inaugural motoring festival featured seminars, the unexceptional cars of Concours d’LeMons, 1980s and ’90s RADwood favourites and Porschella

by CarPark’s modified Porsches.

Special classes included Ford vs GM, 100 Years of Duesenberg, Right Coast Rods, Lancia, 75 Years of Allard, an SUV class and many more, while bike classes included Moto Guzzi and Indian. Pixar’s Jay Ward served as the grand marshal.

Best in Show went to Michael and Joannie Rich’s ’27 Mercedes-Benz Model K. It featured the same supercharged straight-six and chassis architecture as its predecessor, but the wheelbase was shortened to 130in (‘K’ stands for ‘kurzer radstand’ – short wheelbase). The 6.2litre engine had a larger supercharger similar to those used on the later S. This all made it one of the fastest production cars of the era, achieving 90mph-plus.

This particular example was bodied

by Fleetwood for William Sloan of Rochester, New York, after being inspired by the Fleetwood-bodied Isotta Fraschini Roadster prepared for Rudolph Valentino at the 1926 New York Auto Salon.

Next year’s Greenwich Concours will take place on June 3-5, 2022 – more details will be published online soon.

This year’s 25th anniversary event was the best yet. Next year’s, set for a new location, promises even more...

WET AND WINDY weather did little to dampen the spirits of those who descended upon the Port Royal Golf Club for the Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance, back after a year out due to the pandemic.

The event kicked off on the Wednesday before the concours with the Diamonds of the Kitchen truffle dinner, and the fine food continued on the Thursday, with a four-course tableside wine dinner at Michael Anthony’s Cucina Italiana restaurant. If the appetite was for more four-wheeled fare, the Grand Motoring Film Festival had plenty to enjoy, including a screening of The Secret Race Across America.

Friday saw Bimmers in Bluffton, with 150 Munich marvels descending upon the island at the invitation of the BMW Car Club of America. Meanwhile, the Flights & Fancy Aeroport Gala saw vintage aircraft fly in from across the country to be displayed under the stars alongside pristine concours cars.

On Saturday, various car clubs held events at the Port Royal Golf Club; in the evening the Design Among The Stars event offered the chance to mingle with automotive stylists and watch them work live, with guests including Moray Callum, Michael Simcoe, Jay Ward, Craig Metros and Kip Wasenko.

However, the Sunday concours was the main event, and the wet weather that had done much to disrupt the weekend held off just enough for the cars to shine – and shine they most certainly did.

CAVALLINO CL AS S I C M I D D LE EAST

Cavallino Classic Middle East Location Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s most iconic landmarks, UAE Organiser Canossa Events International Chairman Luigi Orlandini Head judge Emiliano Torkar Judging process IAC/PFA Marque celebrated Ferrari Next year December 2022 Website cavallino.com Closest airport Dubai International, Abu Dhabi International

JUST AFTER WE went to press, the organisers of Cavallino Classic were due to bring their passion for the Prancing Horse to the United Arab Emirates on December 9-12, 2021.

The first-ever Cavallino Classic Middle East was conceived to bring the spirit of Italy to the elegance and glamour of the Emirates. An extension of the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, the UAE event was timed to coincide with the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Yas Marina, just after the Jeddah Grand Prix and while the Dubai Expo was taking place. Car owners and guests from all over the world will undoubtedly have enjoyed the sights and sounds of

the Emirates during this inaugural event.

The 1000 Miglia Experience in the UAE was also due to be taking place in the days before the Classic, and was set to coincide with the 50th anniversary celebrations for the United Arab Emirates (which was officially formed on December 2, 1971). However, the 1000 Miglia Experience has now been postponed until February 18-22, 2022. It is an invitation-only event open to 100 owners of landmark automobiles, from legendary classics to iconic supercars of the modern era. Over the course of five days, participants will cross all seven Emirates, driving their cars against the clock.

Cavallino Classic Middle East includes Ferraris such as the 288GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and La Ferrari.
