\nThe Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este 2011 will be held on the weekend of 20-22 May over the grounds of the Grand Hotel Villa d\u2019Este and neighbouring Villa Erba in Cernobbio on Lake Como. This year’s event will once again serve as a unique stage for the most beautiful cars in the world, but for the first time, motorcycles will also grace the shores of Lake Como.
\nThe Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este is the world\u2019s most tradition-laden beauty contest for automobiles. A tradition of this kind demands to be nurtured, something the President of the Concorso d\u2018Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este and Director of BMW Group Classic, Karl Baumer, is very much aware of, stating \u201cThis kind of tradition can only thrive through ongoing development; in other words, it\u2019s a matter of cultivating a tradition of change, so to speak.\u201d
\nThe 2011 event sees a whole quartet of key changes: the new date at the end of May, the introduction of a second public day on Saturday, the first Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este for motorcycles and the previously announced car sale by RM Auctions<\/a> held during the Concorso.
\nIt was the positive and, above all, growing acclaim over recent years which the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza elicited on the Sunday that prompted the decision to offer the public an added attraction on the Saturday. That it would be a motorcycle concours awaiting the fans of classic beauties in the grounds of Villa Erba was an obvious move for Karl Baumer, stating \u201cBMW is one of the most successful and traditional motorcycle manufacturers in the world, which makes it a nobrainer to introduce a motorcycle concours \u2013 especially as two-wheelers often fall short on the design front.\u201d There will be five competition categories, as well as an hors concours design show.
\nBased on the criteria familiar from the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este \u2013 such as design, state of preservation and originality \u2013 a jury of five will select the best in class and an overall winner from among the 40 or so competing motorcycles. In this first year there will be no prizes awarded by public referendum. \u201cThat is sure to follow in the coming years, but our aim right now is to create a new pillar for the Concorso step by step and with due caution,\u201d says Karl Baumer.<\/p>\n

Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este 2011<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This year BMW marks the 75th birthday of the BMW 328. The celebrations will kick off not far from Lake Como \u2013 at the Mille Miglia, where the BMW 328 racing car will be the centre of attention. A week later, at the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este, the spotlight will turn on the functional aesthetics of this legendary two-seater.
\n\u201cThere is no doubt that, with the BMW 328, our predecessors created an icon of motoring history which to this day still defines the style of two-seaters produced by our company,\u201d says Karl Baumer, underlining the significance of the BMW 328. It remains unclear what kind of birthday present will be appropriate for such an outstanding representative of the BMW product family \u2013 \u201cBut we\u2019ll definitely come up with something special,\u201d says the Director BMW Group Classic in happy anticipation of the party to be held on the shores of Lake Como.
\nAs every year, the competition for the classic cars will be divided into several vehicle groups. Split up into eight different categories, the 50 or so classics will await the verdict of the five-strong jury. A novel aspect this year is the special focus within the competition: under the overarching theme of \u201cthe sixties\u201d, around 20 iconic automobiles in three vehicle categories will represent this style-setting decade for the motoring enthusiasts gathered at Lake Como. The names of the sixties vehicle categories alone promise a high level of quality and style-consciousness: \u201cThe Glamour\u201d, \u201cThe Sport\u201d and \u201cThe Unexpected\u201d.
\nFor the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza competition, the selecting committee has once again picked some unusual beauties from six decades of automotive history. During the annual press conference at the Geneva Motor Show the selecting committee offered a few tasters from the exclusive field of participants.
\nAlfa Romeo TZ2 Coup\u00e9, Zagato, 1965<\/strong>
\nAlfa Romeo presented the TZ model at the 1962 Turin Motor Show as a roadgoing racing car. It derives the T in its nomenclature from tubolare, a reference to its tubular spaceframe, and the Z from Zagato, the coachbuilders. A limited production run of no more than 102 was built until 1965, before the Alfa Romeo TZ2 would prove far more successful on the race track. Output had been raised to 165 hp, while its weight was once again whittled down, this time to 620 kg, and the chassis was also improved. Alfa Romeo clocked a breathtaking top speed of 265 km\/h for its sports car. With the TZ2, coachbuilders Zagato turned out a significant example of Italian car design of the 1960s. By the time production ended in 1967, just 12 examples had left the construction hall. This is yet another example of a car that is not only an exceptional beauty, but also a hand-picked rarity, being showcased at the Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este 2011.<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce Phantom II Special Town Car, Brewster, 1933<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Rolls-Royce from American Rolls-Royce dealer and coachbuilder Brewster& Co is nothing less than the most expensive car of its inception year. But it wasn\u2019t just the price tag that lent it a superlative status in motoring history \u2013 it was the car\u2019s design as well. This Rolls-Royce Phantom II blends styling elements of its day into a harmonious and unique whole. The long bonnet, the low-slung greenhouse and, not least, the V-shaped windscreen are the defining features of this one-off. Its inner values are similarly unmatched: gold-plated hardware, indirect lighting and highgrade leather, along with wool carpeting, are designed to spoil and cosset its occupants. All in all, these attributes make up what countless experts deem one of the best and most significant Rolls-Royces ever built.
\nJaguar E-Type Coup\u00e9, 1961<\/strong>
\nThe Jaguar E-Type ranks among the most famous cars in the world. For many auto fans, its shape remains to this day a stunning synthesis of athleticism and delectable design language. But beyond the features it shares with all its sibling production models, this E-Type boasts a unique history. It made its appearance at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, and thus counts among the first E-Types ever built. Over the decades, however, its distinguished origins fell into obscurity \u2013 until 1999, that was, when an ad appeared in a Swiss paper and it quickly emerged that this was the \u201cGeneva car\u201d. A Swiss collector undertook a comprehensive restoration of this \u201cfirst-born\u201d EType based on original documentation. It would be almost a decade before the work was completed. This rare E-Type differs from the production model in more than 30 ways, inside and out. There\u2019s an opportunity to identify them at this year\u2019s Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este.
