LONDON CONCOURS ANNOUNCES CLASSES FOR 2019

LONDON CONCOURS ANNOUNCES CLASSES FOR 2019

The London Concours, presented by Montres Breguet, has announced this year’s expertly curated car classes, including ‘The Great Marques’, ‘The Innovators’ and ‘The Icons’.

The capital’s leading automotive garden party returns to the idyllic lawns of the Honourable Artillery Company from 5-6 June, displaying more than 70 automotive greats in seven distinct classes:

Great Marques – Ferrari

Great Marques – Jaguar

The Icons

The Innovators

The Outlaws

Made in Germany

Lost Marques

The ‘Great Marques’ classes are a celebration of some of motoring’s most legendary brands. This year the honour falls to Ferrari and Jaguar; both of whom have a long list of automotive luminaries in their back catalogue – the Ferrari 250 GTO and Jaguar XKSS to name just two.

The Icons class is comprised of automotive models that came to represent their generation; think the ‘90s and it’ll be the McLaren F1 or think ‘60s and it’ll be the Aston Martin DB5. Whether it’s through ripping up the rulebook, finding fame on the silver screen or being the poster car for a whole generation of buyers, each car in this class has established itself as a verified automotive icon.

The Innovation Class brings together cars that blazed a trail with new technology both on the race track and on the road. Expect to see the first ground effect Formula One cars and innovators like the Bugatti EB110; the first road car to use carbon fibre monocoque. Meanwhile, ‘Made in Germany’ is a veritable greatest hits of the finest cars from Porsche, Mercedes, Audi and more.

Also featuring at the London Concours will be a display of ‘The Outlaws’; classic modified cars that are part of a recent global phenomenon spearheaded by the likes of Rod Emory, and the ‘Lost Marques’. These cars are a homage to some of the greatest automotive manufacturers lost to time; Alvis, Panhard, Frazer-Nash, Bizzarrini and more.

Andrew Evans, London Concours Director, said: “Despite our absolutely stunning venue and the world-class collection of luxury partners, the London Concours is made by the astonishing assortment of cars it brings together. What we’ve created in these classes is the perfect platform to display the greats from all walks of motoring life, ensuring that once again the London Concours is the capital’s premier automotive event.”

A number of special motoring features will also be taking place at London Concours, details of which will be announced in the coming months.

As well as the automotive displays, visitors will be able to browse a number of other luxury attractions, including the world-class watches of Montres Breguet, fine displays of art and a number of top-end food and drink offerings.
