Concours at Windsor Castle (2016) – Subscriber Only Photo Gallery

Csaba Kiss

The Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance was held between 2-4 September, presenting 65 vehicles in the main competition — 63 cars and two horse-drawn carriages previously used by the royal family. But besides the world’s most incredible cars, the visitors of the event could admire another couple of hundreds classic vehicles, gathered to the Club Display and parked at the two sides of the castle’s beautiful Long Walk — and among them some real rarities as well.

To mark the Queen’s 90th birthday, this year’s events also included the Jaguar Trophy and Bentley Trophy of Elegance (the two car supplier marque for the royal family), respectively the Club Trophy. Created in recognition of the spirit and dedication of car club members, the Club Trophy (supported by the Royal Automobile Club) mostly featured cars that have been previously victorious at a Concours from their club. The entries had been judged by a panel of experts chaired by Tom Purves of the Royal Automobile Club and including Prince Michael of Kent (a paternal first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II), the patron of the Concours of Elegance at Windsor Castle.
