Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2010, 26.04.2010

Stunning beauties at Lake Como: the winners of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2010.

Glorious sunshine greeted automotive enthusiasts from around the world who gathered for last weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It was the 12th staging of the event under the patronage of the BMW Group. "Once again the Concorso has borne impressive testimony that cars have lost none of their fascination," commented Karl Baumer, President of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este and Director of BMW Group Classic. Dott. Jean-Marc Droulers, President of Villa d'Este S.p.A., looked back on two extraordinary days: "The Concorso is ruled by a constellation that could hardly be bettered: heritage, elegance and a passion for cars create the perfect foundation for a weekend such as we have been privileged to experience once again."

In addition to the classic car contests and the competition featuring concept models of the future, highlights of this year's Concorso included the "100 Years of Alfa Romeo" special exhibition and the world premiere of the BMW 328 Kamm Coupé. Sunday's event was a sell-out with more than 5,000 visitors attending.

More pics would be nice. Aside from a 50-picture gallery just for the Alfa TZ3 Corsa, it would be nice to see the 328 Kamm coupe that "Premiered", considering all the ones there are from 1940. I wish I could identify all those cars. I spotted the Miura targa-top, a few old Ferraris, the old Jaguar XK, and a few more, but my age (or lacking thereof) is letting me down. What's that black one with chrome headlights? Is it a Bugatti? Or that Maserati with a cream-coloured stripe down the middle? Is that turqoise one next to a flag a Fiat Dino?

The black one with a license plate of 9410-RM is a 1922 Hispano-Suiza H6B Labourdette Skiff/Torpedo.

A Hispano-Suiza??? It's a Talbot-Lago T150 C SS Teardrop Coup? Figoni & Falaschi from 1938.
