After the first two editions of the Chantilly Art & Elegance - Richard Mille, which were both a resounding success and therefore even received the International Historic Motoring Award, Peter Auto is pleased to announce the first classes for the "Concours d'Etat" on September 4, 2016.
Classes from the entire history of the automobile
Large parts of automobile history will be represented with their own classes. This begins with steam-powered vehicles and ends with the technological innovations that revolutionized the 19th century. These include the first pre-war automobiles, which thrilled the public with their advanced aerodynamics, as well as the cars from the heyday of the automobile. The early sports cars, which boasted technological advances, are also given their own class.
The vehicles of one of the best-known and most successful French racing teams of the last century, Bugatti, will also be represented with their own class in 2016. The large Grand Prix cars with front engines and the cars of the "Tour de France Automobile", which took place from 1951-1986, will also be honored with a class.
"Exceptional car bodies"
In 2016, the famous Italian coachbuilder Zagato will also be represented in two classes. A distinction will be made between pre-war and post-war vehicles.
Less sporty, but absolutely original automobiles will compete in the "exceptional bodywork" category. This class also includes imposing limousines in their original condition, as well as various masterpieces of French coachbuilding.
To make the classes complete, there will also be two classes for English vehicles, with a distinction made between V12 and V16 engines, and American vehicles will not be neglected either.
In addition, two more classes will be announced at the Retromobile in Paris, which will take place from February 3 to 7, 2016, and where Peter Auto will also be present. It will be interesting to see.
