The luxurious car show Concours d’Elegance is going to be held for the second time in Kuwait early next month. Like last year, it going to be an important and prestigious event that will attract people from both inside and outside Kuwait.
What is the Concours d’Elegance?
Concours is a French word meaning competition. The concept of Concours originates in 17th C. France when aristocrats used to choose their best horse carriages to parade around parks of Paris during the summer week ends and holidays. Later these traditions changed to automobiles from the 20th C. Concours today have strict regulations and cars are inspected by qualified judges. Trophy winners are carefully chosen. Each year there are numerous events which take place across the world, many of which are world famous, including Villa d’Este in Italy, Goodwood in UK, and Pebble Beach in USA. The Kuwait Concours d’Elegance is rapidly becoming a fixture in this international programme, able to attract some of the world’s rarest and exotic motorcars.

Last years event was a boring affair. Just some bunch of cars parked in the parking lot.
There should be some information center with details of what the heck the thing is.
this year there will be a bike show with a lot of activities too.
so do the historical cars museum will put some of their cars in there.
That sounds more like it!!.
and its not a local bike show, a lot of bikers are coming from GCC, Jordan, Lebanon & Egypt
the cars from last year look sweet … hope I can make it this year
Sounds ever so pretentious.
Oh! I really like this show…equally enjoyed by my wife and daughters. A must see for people who love and appreciate cars.
