Concorso d'Eleganza 2021 brings rare cars all impressively designed and preserved.

An Hispano Suiza and other rarities at the Concorso d'Eleganza.

They definitely showed how classic cars & classic leather interiors are most certainly superior.

This year’s Concorso d'Eleganza proved to us how, when it comes to cars, the longer-lived, the better.

From a thousand submissions, the committee had to narrow it down to 50 entrants, and finally, only 10 were selected for the exclusive show as the rarest cars you wouldn’t typically see on the roads today.

The jury made sure to award different prizes to the vehicles whose years of manufacture covered the period from 1920 to 1990 — all impressively designed and preserved, thanks to the choice of timeless and natural materials.

The winner of Best of Show was a 1956 Ferrari 250 GT TDF, making 2021 the 7th consecutive year that the main prize of the exclusive competition for cars in Italy was awarded to a car produced by an Italian brand.

For us, every one of them deserves a trophy.
