Glamorous classic cars arrive for 2016 Chantilly Arts & Elegance
If it’s glamour and sophistication you crave, you could hang around outside one of London’s night spots – or you could perhaps enjoy yourself rather more at a world-class car concours event like the Chantilly Arts & Elegance concours d'elegance.
The Chantilly concours has now been running for three years in the stunning grounds of the Chateau de Chantilly on the northern outskirts of Paris. In that short time it’s already established itself as a red-letter event on the classic enthusiast’s calendar.
Cars literally come from all over the world to celebrate the automotive artistry of bygone days. Jon Shirley’s serial concours-winner Alfa Romeo 8C Lungo Berlinetta was shipped over from Seattle to add yet another overall winner trophy to its collection.
In addition to the priceless show cars there were in excess of 800 club cars to entertain the thousands of spectators. Click on the gallery above for a selection of the very best.
