โWe were all so incredibly disappointed to have had to cancel our 2020 show,โ said Lindsey Harrell, the Hilton Head Island Concoursโ president.ย โBut because of this, weโve been able to shift our focus to building a spectacular event for next year.ย And to have this event already in the works for 2021 is beyond exciting and will be a great addition for our guests and our island.โ
โThe members of the Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW Clubs of America look forward to bringing the premier all-German Marque Legends Of The Autobahnย concours to the East Coast,โ said Frank Patek, BMW CCA Executive Director. โLegends is a mainstay of the famed Monterey Auto Week. The founders of this landmark event agree that the Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival and its acclaim is the best place to share our passion on the East Coast.โ
โWe couldnโt be more eager for our return to the show field next fall after the COVID-induced hiatus,โ said Harrell.ย โMuch is planned for the 2021 Hilton Head Island Concours dโElegance, and this will only add to the excitement of our comeback. ย We are enthusiastic about this partnership and what it could bring down the road.โ
