Concours d’Elegance will start tomorrow and last for the next four days. I passed by tonight for a peek and it just looks amazing. Aston Martin have a HUGE display which will house the Zagato which was launched earlier tonight at the Salwa Al Sabah Hall.

The website says the lecture by Leonardo Fioravanti on the F40 (The car that changed my life – the F40) will be on the 16th of Feb at 4pm. There are a different set of lectures scheduled for the 18th.

That’s the date i got by my contact at the Concours. Also Enzo’s birthday is on 18th so kinda makes sense. BUT I don’t know which is the real date. I just got back from the concours thinking it was open since they had 15th as the opening date. Turns out its closed and will open at 7PM only for VIPs.
