This is the winner’s breakfast at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este

This is the winner’s breakfast at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este

Come Monday morning, one lucky car collector can look forward to this sight at the breakfast table – a much deserved espresso, to get back into shape following the victory celebrations, and the 2018 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este winner’s watch by A. Lange & Söhne…

The battle for ‘Best of Show’ is shaping up rather interestingly this year. Albert Spiess’s Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale is certainly a favourite, but it has already won the audience-voted Coppa d’Oro award. Could it be an impressive racing car such as the Ferrari 335 Sport owned by Andreas Mohringer? Or is the jury more likely to opt for a classic pre-War beauty such as the Pinin Farina-bodied Lancia Astura Series III? We’ll know more on Sunday evening.
