The Concours of Elegance Germany 2024 took place in July at Gut Kaltenbrunn on Lake Tegernsee. Organised by the organisers of the Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace, the Concours has an international focus and brings together the world’s most important collectors to celebrate their vehicles in a spectacular setting.
Germany has a long history of automotive invention and is the perfect place to welcome 50 of the world’s rarest cars and their owners, complemented by the exhibition of a further 150 beautiful automobiles from the Special Concours and Automobile Clubs. Many of the Concours cars also always take part in the Bavarian Tour, a carefully put together four-day driving adventure where you can experience the best that Bavaria has to offer.
As with the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the winner was not chosen by a jury, but by the owners of the vehicles themselves. Each participant will be asked to vote on the other models on display to decide which car will be considered the “Best of Show”.
There was a varied programme and a lot to see, including …
20 rare and exotic vehicles from the Austin Healey 3000S to the Ferrari Daytona – all owned by ladies.
The Junior Concours – At the eagerly awaited Junior Concours, sponsored by Munich | Sotheby’s International Realty, where the best hand-built pedal, electric and petrol cars of all ages were presented, parents and their children slipped into the roles of mechanics and factory drivers.
Thirty under 30! This new Concours has been specially designed for the next generation of car enthusiasts. A generation that will probably face the biggest challenges for the hobby of classic cars and classic cars, as vehicle prices skyrocket and gasoline is less and less popular.
