That Rolls SUV looks like the rear airbags are blown. It needs a little more height back there.

Beautiful cars. The Ferrari is reminiscent of the Eric Clapton one off!

Not loving the RR, but I can't afford it anyway!

I went to Lake Como for the first time last year. What a gorgeous place! Perfect setting for a concours like this. Thanks for sharing.

Morning gents, I know they say patience is a virtue(what ever) but I thought they were going to show the car this week. Little sick of the concept okay we get it. Beautiful but BMW roll out sucks. I used to work for BMW Military sales in Japan and they do everything last freaking minute, and I see nothing has changed, all the vital information is in the hands of it's partners around the world already if they still do it the way they did it. As a sales guy it was pure frustration waiting for AG to release things, because what they are doing is filling up production slots and taking orders on estimated pricing. Trust me I know what I speak of. TICK TOCK !

Would you believe it's a 1959 Corvette! The body was done by Scaglietti. The car is owned by a gentleman from the USA. Here are some more pics...

Yes, that area is also quite nice. I always drive thru there on my way into Cernobbio(Villa Erste & Erba - where the car show is held).

I prefer to stay in Cernobbio, in walking distance of the show bc parking is a real issue.

The event is open to the public. You just have to dress nicely.

Friday's events are closed door. That's when BMW unveils their two concepts(a car and motorcycle). This year it was the Rolls and a new Bike.

Saturday you can visit Villa Erste... I think to get in it's 25 euros pp. And then down the street is Villa Erba... I think it costs around 16 euros to get in there. I think they sell weekend tickets too... but I'm spoiled by getting in with my press pass.

BMW Classic has a website(bellow)... you can preorder tickets there, a month or two before next year's event. The car show is always held at the end of May, each year.

I would say try to attend both events/locals. But I prefer going on Saturday to both places. And on Sunday only to Villa Erba, bc there is just a ton of people at this event on Sunday. Sunday is when the flood gates open. But it's also the only day that you can see the "special" display of cars inside the rotunda, like this year's Hollywood film cars - in my other thread. Try to find a room(and parking) in Cernobbio. You will want to walk not drive around the village.

Nevermind, I found it. It was the Concept 9cento.

Did that Ferrari come about after a conversation like this?

"I want a custom Ferrari"
"Certainly sir, what did you have in mind?"
"Hmmm, make it look like a twenty-five year old Jaguar"
"One XJ220 replica, coming up!"
