Lange & Söhne, is introducing a brand new feature for its 2021 event this September, the 30UNDER30 Concours. Designed specifically for the next generation of motoring enthusiasts, it hopes to shine a light on the young classic car owners protecting and preserving precious pieces of automotive history. This inclusive event is for anyone, 30 or under, that owns a motorcar from 1900 to 1999 and is created to support the future of the nation’s collective, diverse motoring passions. The only stipulation is that the car must be personally owned by the applicant. The 30UNDER30 Concours will gather 30 cars and owners split over six different classes covering 99 years of the automobile. The classes are as follows: – 1. Pioneer Petrolheads (1900 – 1939) – The steed and knock-kneed cart horse were replaced by a new invention, an invention that would captivate the imagination of many, creating possibly the most diverse and fastest developing period of the motorcar.  2. Best of British (1940 – 1979) – It does what it says on the tin. From the humble Morris 8, to the stately Rolls Royce Ghost, this class is for all those fans of cricket, afternoon tea, The Who and warm beer.  3. Italian Stallions (1940 – 1979) – Whether it’s a Fiat 500, Alfa 1750 GTV or a Maserati Merak they all were designed with style and elegance, engineered with passion, and destined to be driven at ten-tenths everywhere. They are the enchanting embodiment of La Dolce Vita.  4. French Fancies (1940 – 1979) – As arguably the inventors of the internal combustion engine, the French have produced some extremely charismatic cars. From the go anywhere capabilities of the 2CV and conquering the Paris Dakar rally, to the sweeping elegance of Delahaye, this is a class for motorcars with that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’.  5. American Muscle (1940 – 1979) – Let the Bald Eagles fly free, the land of the rumbling V8, pickup trucks, muscle cars and the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado tailfins. Hot Rodding, iconic roads, movies, speed and racing, America is, and has always been obsessed by the car. Developing their own unique car culture that has spread all over the world.  6. Leg Warmers & Spice Girls (1980 – 1999) – The boom and bust of this period of motoring spawned some wild cars, a time when Turbo was so much more than just forced induction. Turbo was plastered on everything from aftershave to kitchen appliances and cars.

Organised by Thorough Events, the first Concours of Elegance set a new global benchmark for a classic car concours; winning prestigious awards in the process; unheard of for a ‘start-up’ event in its first year. The second Concours of Elegance was held in 2013 to equal fanfare at the historic Royal Palace of St James in London, with the widely acclaimed third Concours set in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace in September 2014, before heading to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2015. Only cars of the highest calibre are invited to the Concours of Elegance, from all over the world, painstakingly selected by the Concours Steering Committee; a respected team of authoritative historic car experts. A key objective of the annual Concours of Elegance is to raise significant sums for charity. www.concoursofelegance.co.uk (http://www.concoursofelegance.co.uk/) Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace is cared for by Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that also looks after the Tower of London, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built. We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers. With the exception of Hillsborough Castle, these palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Registered charity number 1068852.
