Default Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, a must see! P4/5...

Here, I am, finally back after three days of madness! I was at the Concorso d'Eleganza in Villa d'Este. Probably the best one in Europe and for sure the best location in the world hands down!

First of all, a BIG and I mean, BIG thank you goes to Jabba for helping me getting the press pass that allowed me to access the show the best days: sat and especially friday, instead of Sunday, the public day.

I am still speechless, really. I saw some of the finest machinery ever built in a jaw dropping location and came back probably with some of the most beautiful pics I ever took. It was just perfect! I was there with a couple of friends, one of which is salegosse and that made a great week-end even better.

But well, enjoy this first load. These are the pics from Friday, 204 of them. On Friday many photoshoots take place, but not all the cars come out. Too bad because there was nobody around and the weather was great. I managed to shoot the rest of the cars on Saturday obviously, but harder to get nice pics.

The rest of the pics will follow in the next updates and I can already tell you the next one will be a very special one: a private photoshoot with Zagato new creation :shock:

ENJOY, and as always, click the previews to be taken to the full 204 high-res pics update


Let's start with the most classic Villa d'Este shot and a classic BMW 326 cabrio (BMW is the main sponsor)


THE car I was hoping to finally see


THE surprise of the day, a road legal MC12 Corsa


Beautiful Zagato creation, the A6G 2000


And their new car, Zagato Gransport! Much better in the metal


Peter Kalinov took his amazing California Spider out for the occasion :shock:


An amazing TDF


Ralph Lauren's Mercedes SSK, sex on wheels!


Coolest "car"?


Alfa 6C 2500 Flying Star, So classy in full white livery!


Bizzarrini 5300GT Strada, another great italian classic!


Stay tuned for more!

Hard to pick a favorite from the bunch of rare and beautiful cars on display. I guess I will pick the 250 Cal Spider and the Count Trossi SSK - the Cal Spider for its timeless design and the Count Trossi car for its lovely pontoon fenders.

Of course the P4/5 takes the top prize from modern cars.
