Villa d'Este Concours

[RichB]

Has anyone here visited the concours at the Villa d'Este? I am planning a driving trip to the Italian Lakes this spring and wondered what it would be like to attend on the public day on Sunday held at the Villa Erba? Rich...

I have no idea, but it looks like an incredible event. I doubt they'd ever let a scruffy tw*t like me in though.

I hired a car near there years ago to go to the Alfa Musuem. They had no small cars left and I ended up with a new Alfa, cost a fortune. To get to the point though I drove right past the security guy at the gates of the Villa D'Este and had a good look around, beautiful. If I'd had an old Punto..

I'd love to visit it one year, didn't realise there was a public day, anyone know any more?

Yes...I went a couple of years ago, part of a trip organised by the AROC.

The public day is not as upmarket as you'd think, plenty of people slumming it in their casuals and jeans!

The display of cars, in variety and excellence, was beyond belief! As well as the assembled rarities there were several (8-10 iirc)concept cars.

Despite that...it's all quite low key. I was in awe of the machinery...definitely worth a trip
