CHANTILLY ARTS & ELEGANCE COMPETITION 2019
The Elegance Contests are special events hosted in the most beautiful places in both environmental and artistic terms.
In Italy is famous the headquarters of Villa d'Este on Como Lake; in Turin the Castle and Valentino park. In France the representative place is the Dominion of Chantilly, with the splendid gardens of Le Nôtre and its Castle. The most famous cars of the most prestigious brands are in harmony with the ancient architectural scenery, because beauty is always compatible with beauty, whatever time it belongs. The Concours d'Elegance award was given to the McLaren Speedtail, an exclusive sports supercar, with new technological solutions and great stylistic beauty. On the contrary, the public preferred the Buggy ID of Volkswagen, heir to the legendary Beetle, but electric and innovative in its bodywork and materials. The ASI (Historic Italian Automoto Club) presented, out of competition, the Creations by Marcello Gandini: four cars of the Bertone Collection. International visitors were able to appreciate the unmistakable style of the great car designer from Turin:
Autobianchi A112 Runabout 1969,
Chrysler Simca Shake 1970,
Citroen GS Camargue 1972,
Ferrari 308 GT Rainbow 1976.
Special Italian Historic Motor Club Award dedicated to an Italian car with an ASI approval certificate that guarantees its originality.
It was won by the Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV 1968, unrestored post-war car category, owned by a French collector.
