CLASS WINNERSAND MENTIONS OF HONOR

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2022 provides an impressive array of diverse Historic Cars.

They range from rare automobiles created in the golden era of coachbuilding in the 1920s and 1930s, when the automobile was emancipated from being essentially an engineering product to becoming an object of desire and elegance, to sports models with hugely impressive contours.

The list below presents the “Best of Show” and all the class winners alongside those vehicles in seven classes for Historic Cars bestowed with a Mention of Honour. The model, coachwork designer, year of manufacture and owner are provided in each case:
