Cernobbio, 25th - 27th of May
As already mentioned in our last reports on the Monaco Historic
GP and the Mille Miglia the last three successive weekends in
May saw some of the most important Classic Car events of their
kind in Europe with the final Concorso d´Eleganza at the Grand
Hotel Villa d´Este at the shore of Lake Como. All of these three
events are based on a historic paragon with the first Mille Miglia
held in 1927 followed by the Grand Prix and the Concorso in
1929. Now over 80 years later all of them established themselves
as premium events attracting visitors from all over the world
making this a worthy trip even from the other side of the Atlantic.
This year was the first time that they were held that close
together as the HGP is biannual and the Concorso just moved to
the later May date last year. When BMW took over the event
back in 1999 they soon established the concept car class for
modern styling studies of the large manufacturers and styling
departments that are also present at the big motor shows all over
the world. Last year the decision was made to move the
Concorso to May to avoid an overlapping with the Shanghai Motor
Show as the growing Chinese marked is very important for all the
manufacturers to show their latest concept cars.
Karl Baumer, head of the classic department at BMW spoke of a
consolidation year as not just the date was new but also the Villa
d´Este tour prior to the Concours and the motor bike concours
was established in 2011, especially the later shows BMWs long-
standing mainstay on two wheels.
But not all was new as the Concorso still consists of the on-
invitation day at the Villa d´Este on Saturday and the public day
at the nearby Villa Erba on Sunday.
Especially the first day with its limited space in the garden of the
Grand Hotel leads to a traditionally small and exclusive field of
about 50 cars in 9 classes plus the Concept Cars parked in front
of the Hotel. Together with the noble ambience of the historic
grounds this is a complete contrast to the big 300+ car shows in
America and the international jury has to judge manageable sized
classes with about half a dozen of cars. The jury consists of a
mixture of automotive stylists and journalists with this years new
member Nick Mason, ex-drummer of Pink Floyd and automotive
enthusiast for more than 40 years. This might have been the first
time that spectators were standing in line after the winners
ceremony to get an autograph from one of the judges, very much
to the amusement of his colleagues showing his popularity after
all those year.
Beside the jury´s decision for the Best of Show (Trofeo BMW
Group) on both days the spectators have the opportunity to vote
for a public referendum, the Coppa d´Oro Villa D´Este and the
Trofeo BMW Group Italia (Villa Erba). These are the three major
prizes followed by the Class Awards and further Special Awards
in the following classes.
Class A - Graceful Open Air-Style
This is a classic concours category with cabriolets from the pre-
war era. This year was very much a British -American competition
with a German class winner. No less that 3 Rolls-Royce ranging
from a Silver Ghost Picadilly Roadster and a Phantom I by
Manessius to a Phantom III by German Coachbuilder
Voll&Ruhrbeck were lined up with a classic Packard Twelve
Convertible by Dietrich and a Cord 812 in front of the swimming
pool at the Villa D´Este. Especially the Cord had some interesting
features making its competitors looking dated with the integrated
radiator with horizontal air intakes compared to the huge standing
radiators of the Rolls-Royce and the Packard. Another feature are
the disappearing head lights in the front wings against the big
lamps of the pre-war era. But class winner became the dark green
Mercedes-Benz 540 K with special roadster coachwork by the
factory in Sindelfingen. Not just that Special Roadsters are some
of the most valuable cars of this era, the exhibited example was a
very special one. Originally build for the son of the Krupp factory
this is the only special roadster built on a short chassis with a
short tail rather than the floating lines of its long chassis
counterpart. The car was presented in original configuration
including its unusual dashboard layout with radio.
Class B – Interpretations of Elegance
This class was dedicated to the 1930s and very much a mixture
of coupé and cabriolets ranging from a Roesch-Talbot with a
typical British touring body by James Young, a BMW 355
Cabriolet by Autenrieth to a big Chrysler Tow&Country Station
Wagon, a so called Woody. This body style is typical American
and not very often seen on the European Concours circle but this
was without doubt one of the public favourites. But the other two
cars of the class had a more interesting history, as the Alfa
Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara for example was built for the Duce
Benito Mussolini himself. The Touring bodied Spider was entered
in the Mille Miglia 1935 driven by Mussolini´s chauffeur to a third
place in a special alternative fuel class. Presenter Simon Kidston
pointed out during the presentation in front of the Villa d´Este that
during the restoration a few years ago a separate fuel tank was
found with a switch to change to standard fuel during the race,
very much to the amusement of the audience. Best in Class went
to the spectacular Delahaye 145 Coupé by Chapron from the
Mullin Collection. Peter&Merle Mullin own no less than 3 of these
rare 12-cylinder cars with successive chassic numbers originally
built as Gand Prix cars. The first of these cars is known as the
million-franc car as it was built to win the prize of the same
amount set by the French government for a track record at
Montlhery. Whereas this car still is in GP configuration the
following two were rebodied by Chapron in their current coupé
form, the car displayed in Cernobbio won the 1939 edition of Le
Mans in the hands of Rene Dreyfus before it was transferred to
road use. Still having the race chassis and the 12-cylinder engine
under the elegant Chapron body this is really a supercar of its
days, the competition genes clearly visible with the extensively
drilled break drums. A few weeks ago the Mullins competed with
this car the Serenissima run over snowy mountain passes
showing that that car is used the way it was intended rather than
being a trailer queen.
Class C – The Art of Streamlining
With increasing speed on the race tracks during the 1920s and
1930s the shape of the body became more important. What is
today a science with wind tunnels was the work of pioneers back
in the days. When looking at the big Mercedes-Benz or Bentley
of the 1920s it is easy to see that their design became dated in
the 1930s and people were looking for fresh design ideas and
found them in the aeronautic. On of the forerunners of that time
was Gabriel Voisin, one of his creations was shown with the
Avions Voisin C25 Aerodyne, a sister car of the Pebble Beach
winner from last year featuring the same hydraulic disappearing
top and the floating tail. A typical example of the early
streamlining in motorsports was the Aston Martin C Type Speed
Model with the typical drop-shaped wings replacing the former
cycle-wings. Compared to the race cars of the same model the
exhibited example featured separate lights instead of integrated
ones showing that streamlining was not always a form follows
function but often just a design feature. Even more so on the
spectacular Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS by Figoni. This example of
the last serie was built with a very elegant line of a sleek coupé
on the last evolution of the successful 6C-chassis in the desirable
Grand Sport configuration. Later Figoni&Falaschi became famous
for their floating art-deco style bodies but this Alfa used the
streamlining in a very decent way with low roof and short tail.
Presented in a very stylish black-cream colour combination it was
the favourite both of the jury and the spectators as soon as it
entered the field on Saturday morning. A few thought that it might
be over-restored but the main point of criticism, the polished wire
wheels were soon justified by period pictures of the car at one of
its many appearances at various concours in the 1930s. Being
built for the Paris Motor Show in 1933 this styling element was
more than natural. Later the car was raced with a different body at
Le Mans in 1935 winning its class making this car even more
desirable. At the Concorso d´Eleganza the car made its post
restoration debut winning all three major trophies with the two
public and the jury prize. This was just the second time after 2009
that one car won all the silverware just as the Alfa Romeo 8C
2900 B Touring Berlinetta did back then.
Runner up in this class was the Tatra 97 that was driven by its
owner all the way from Slovakia. This was a very advanced design
back in its days as it took streamlining to the next level.
A very interesting car was the Volkhart V2 Sagita, a one-off built
on a VW chassis. Designer Volkhart was inspired by the pioneer
of streamlining, Baron von Koenig-Fachsenfeld and some
elements of its design can be found on the following Porsche 356
as they both had in common to get most out of a small engine.
The class was rounded of by a Maserati A6 1500 that was on
exhibition on the new Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena just prior to
the concours.
Class D – Little Jewels
When looking into the race records one always see the overall
winners of the open categories with big displacements but races
like the Mille Miglia or Le Mans featured many more classes for
cars with smaller engines. Whereas the “big bangers” with 6, 8 or
even 12 cylinders were usually entered with works support or by
wealthy gentlemen drivers the smaller classes made racing
affordable for others. Many of these cars were tuned derivatives
based on mass production cars like Fiats in Italy, others were
directly built as race cars.
The smallest car and also class winner was the Abarth Fiat 500
with Zagato body brought by a well know Japanese Abarth-
Collector followed by the Moretti 750 Grand Sport. This small
racer sounded just like a big one when coming up the driveway of
the hotel and with the owner and his two sons in it this might have
been the smallest possible way to transport 3 persons in front of
the jury. Another Abarth was the 204 A with Spider Motto body
and 1100 ccm that gets its place in the history books for being
the last car Tazio Nuvolari raced in his long racing career. After
several successes with the type 356, Porsche decided to build a
pure race car in 1953, resulting in the 550 Spyder. With the
legendary Fuhrmann engine with 4 camshafts driven by bevel
gears this car produced 110 hp at a weight of 550 kg making this
a strong opponent for the bigger cars especially on narrow tracks.
The 550 Spyder tragically became famous when James Dean was
killed in his example in a fatal accident, the car on show was one
of the early prototypes that can be recognized by the higher tail
fins than the later production cars.
The class was rounded off by the OSCA 1600 SP, the last racing
car designed by the Maserati brothers and intended to race at Le
Mans but never did.
Class E – Stars of the Rock ´n´ Roll Era
This class was dedicated to the cars of the 1950s starting with a
duo of Ferrari 212 Inter, both bodied by Pinin Farina as Cabriolet
and Coupé. Italian film director Roberto Rosselini was a good
customer for Ferrari and he owned many very interesting cars over
the years. The 212 Inter Coupé was bought new by him and a
wedding present for his wife, actress Ingrid Bergman and the
couple did their honeymoon trip from Rome to Stockholm in this
car. Period pictures show the car with the luggage on top just as
it was presented at the Villa D´Este. The second 212 Inter on
show was built as cabriolet for the 1952 Paris Salon before it was
delivered to its first owner. Although a street rather than a racing
car the Ferrari was entered soon after at the 1000 km race at the
NĂĽrburgring to come home 9th overall. The car has just completed
a full restoration by the Ferrari Classic department to its original
configuration and made its post restoration debut at the Lake
Como. The car looked just perfect and was runner up in this
class, later this year the car is expected to be in Pebble Beach.
The third Italian car in this class was the Maserati A6 G2000
Allemano in two-tone black/red colour combination.
The other cars are the three legendary German sports cars from
the 1950s, the Porsche 356, the Mercedes 300 SL and the BMW
507. The Porsche was an early Pre-A example by Reutter with
the kink in the windshield, the 300 SL was a Gullwing with factory
uprated engine and competition history. The BMW 507 was the
answer of BMW on the successful Mercedes 300 SL roadster and
today not few rate the rarer BMW over the Mercedes, the black
example at Como was already seen in previous years but it
nevertheless won its class.
Class F – The Ferrari 250 Dynasty
The Ferrari 250 Series from the 1950s to the early 1960s is
without doubt the most iconic of the Ferraris built. Based on the
three litre Colombo engine (although a few early examples had
the Lampredi engine) this serie featured several models both on
street and race cars, this class showed some of them beside the
racers in the later Le Mans class.
The first car was a 250 Europa Vignale Coupé that was built on a
shorter wheelbase than the previous Pinin Farina bodied Europas.
The car was acquired by it present owner in need of a total
restoration that was carried out in the last year. Having
experience with the Vignale body on his previous 375 America he
did most of the work by himself showing that even in the high
class Ferrari world there are still a few passionate owners working
on their cars themselves rather than having them restored in the
specialized workshops. Following the Europa was the Europa GT
that featured the Colombo engine with a larger bore and a smaller
stroke allowing more revs and therefore more power. The car on
show was a “standard” Pinin Farina Coupé with a far more
straightforward design than the Vignale body with less
ornamentation.
The 250 GT was built as race car in short and long wheelbase
version. The GT LWB had a wheelbase of 2600 mm compared to
the later 2400 mm of the SWB and became famous with the
nickname TdF after its success at the Tour de France. The
displayed LWB was one of just 4 examples bodied by Zagato and
this might be the best looking. With a short roof compared to the
Scaglietti bodied car and the typical double-bubble and open
headlights the car looks very sleek, the frame of the back window
shows the attention to details. The car made its second
appearance at the Villa D´Este after 2003 winning its class.
The short wheelbase version (SWB) was represented by a
California Spyder and a Berlinetta. Although the California Spyder
was intended as a cheaper version of the Series I Cabriolet it is
today the most sought after open version, especially in this short
chassis configuration with covered headlights, the spyder
represented here had a very attractive light blue metallic colour.
The SWB Berlinetta was available both as steel (lusso) and
aluminium competition version and intended both for street and
racing, the SWB shown here was a steel version. The class was
rounded off by the last of the street versions, the 250 GT Lusso.
Class G – La Dolce Vita
This class featured the cars driven by the sportive gentlemen in
Paris, at the Cote d´Azure or Rome during the time. In 1962 one
of these cars was the Ferrari 400 Superamerica Aerodynamic by
Pininfarina. As the name indicates these cars with larger engines
were built for the American market where people were used to a
larger displacement and cruising, but this concept did also work
on the continent when cruising down the Croisette in Cannes.
This particular car was the last of the first series of 400
Superamerica and was delivered new by Chinetti Motors to its
first American owner, today the car is restored back to its original
colour blu sera with red interior.
The same exterior colour was on the Maserati 5000 GT Allemano,
the counterpart of Maserati in those days. The car is based on
the 3500 GT chassis but has the larger 5 litre engine that was
intended for racing but placed in this street car after Maserati
discontinued their racing program. A very special car was brought
by Corrado Lopresto, known to collect special bodied Italien cars
and prototypes like this Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina, a
one-off designed by Tom Tjaarda who presented the car on
Sunday to the spectators in front of the Villa Erba.
Another one-off was the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Prototipo looking very
much like the previous 275 GTB/4 at the front to feature the
known back of the later Daytona. When looking a the interior it
shows more similarity with the 275 as well, the engine was a
special 4.4 litre engine.
When people were asked what the first real Supercar was most of
them think of the Lamborghini Miura. Even more so the presented
Miura SV/J, the hottest version available for customers and just 4
times built. The car was shown in Como by Lamborghini test
driver Valentino Barboni and stood aside its successor, the
Countach.
Class H – Gentlemen´s Sports Car
One marque became synonymous with the idea of a Gentlemen´s
Sports Car: Bentley. After Bentley was taken over by Rolls-Royce
the marque lost its racing background of the days of W.O.
Bentley but it stayed the sportive part of the company. Before the
war the 4 ¼ and 3 ½ litre cars were named “the silent sports car”
and this is what they stayed after the war with the R-Type and the
S-Type Continental. So it is no surprise that this class featured 3
Bentley out of 5 ranging from a R-Type by Mulliner to a S1
Continental Fastback by the same coachbuilder. The later car
was entered by Sir Anthony Bamford who´s father was the first
owner of the car. When looking on the colour scheme orange-
cream “understatement” is not the first word that comes to mind
and it must have been a show when this car appeared in the
street in the late 1950s. The Bamford family is known to be the
owner of JCB (manufacturer of loaders and tractors) and Simon
Kidston had a funny story to tell on the registration number of the
Bentley “JCB1”. When Joseph Cyril Bamford saw a scooter with
this registration number in a shop window back then he entered
the sales room and told the salesman that he wants to buy this
scooter to get the number. It turned out that the shop had even
more scooters with these numbers and it was reported that
Bamford left the shop with 12 scooters and the numbers JCB1 –
JCB12 that graced all the following family cars.
But the class victory went to an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Cabriolet by
Ghia followed by an Alvis TD21 with Graber body.
Class I – Heroes of Le Mans
The last of the historic classes was dedicated to the greatest
race of all, the 24h of Le Mans. Although these cars are not
common in the concours circle they were spectators favourites.
The oldest of the racers was the Jaguar D-Type, the type that won
at La Sarthe between 1955 and 1957.
The next car was the Aston Martin DBR1, maybe one of the best
looking race cars ever build. After several attempts of David Brown
to win Le Mans with the DB3S the DBR1 was developed to
compete in the sports car world championship. In 1959 the DBR1
fulfilled David Brown´s dream of the overall victory in the hands of
Carol Shelby and Roy Salvadori who unfortunately both passed
away recently. The car presented in Cernobbio was the fourth of
five cars built and came home second in this race in the hands of
Maurice Tritingnant and Paul Frere.
Two more Ferrari were in this class with the 250 GTO and the 250
LM. The 250 GTO in its golden jubilee year was shown at the
Cavallino Classic in January where it won BoS and again in
Amelia Island in March. Maybe the judges over here were not so
happy about the recent engine change to a GTE-block to safe the
original one from damage as the owner intends to drive the car
fast in the weeks to come. At the Villa Erba the GTO stood next
to its successor, the 250 LM. After succeeding in telling the
officials that the GTO was a direct development of the 250 GT
SWB (to avoid the required minimum quantity of cars built for the
homologation) Enzo Ferrari tried this again with the 250 LM (that
should be named 275 LM due to its engine capacity) but failed to
explain the change from the engine from front to back leaving the
250 LM in the prototype class rather than the GT class.
Nevertheless the car achieved what the GTO did not: an overall
win at Le Mans 1965, the last one for the Italian marque there
until the present day.
The dominance of Ferrari in the years before was ended with the
appearance of the Ford GT40 that won Le Mans four times in a
row. The car on display was one of the rare road versions that
covered less than 6000 miles when the current owner acquired it
and carefully restored it rewarded with the prize for the most
sensitive restoration.
In 1969 Porsche appeared at Le Mans with their first pure racer
going for the overall victory rather than class wins, the famous
Porsche 917. After winning Le Mans in 1970 the 917 became
immortal with its appearance in the film “Le Mans” with Steve
McQueen where this 917 was driven by Mr.Cool himself. The
current owner was able to convince Porsche to sell him this car in
1973 when its racing career was over and they were not
interested in it any more. When he showed up in Stuttgart to
collect it on a cold winter day the car had to be shoveled clear of
snow as it was sitting outside of the building. Today it was
presented almost as it left the factory back then but it is in full
running condition as one could see and hear when parading down
the the winners ceremony.
Concept Car
As mentioned the Concorso is also a place to see the latest
concept cars. Some of them might be almost ready for production
like the Aston Martin Project 310, others were not even running
like the winning Alfa Romeo.
With the studies one could see several trends: first of all it was
easy to see that many of them showed off in a red metallic paint
what seems to be the upcoming colour. Second is the missing B-
pillar on most of the cars with two different solutions. Whereas
the Pininfarina and Bertone study featured opposite opening doors
the Ford Evos and the Italdesign Giugiaro Brivido had large
Gullwing doors. Another trend is the usage of wood in the interior,
especially in the Pininfarina but also in the Bertone Jaguar.
Out of competition BMW showed its new cooperation with
Zagato, the BMW Zagato Coupé presented by Adrian van
Hooydonk and Andrea Zagato.
Conclusion
Once again the Concorso d´Eleganza at the Villa D´Este featured
a spectacular line-up of cars with many highlights and a deserved
winner of all major prizes. With the pure Ferrari and the Le Mans
class this years Concours was a very sportive one compared to
the recent editions. As Urs Ramseier left the concours as a
consultant this part was taken over by Simon Kidston but after
one edition it is to early to say whether this was an exception or a
trend. Certainly we are all looking forward to the next edition in
2013 when RM Auctions will be back as well after this years
Monaco Auction.
