The second Heveningham Hall Concours d’Elegance brought some fine metal to Suffolk last weekend.
Fifty cars covered the plush greens of the manor house with a century of motoring design, all vying for category honours in the concours. Ian Callum, former TWR designer and current director of design at Jaguar, J Mays, former group vice president of global design and chief creative officer at Ford Motor Company, and Dakar competitor Max Hunt comprised the impressive judging panel.
The pre-war category was led by a twin-supercharged 1935 Frazer Nash, beating a Frazer Nash TT replica and 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C, while Ford beat Ferrari yet again in the post war category – a 1965 Ford GT40 saw off a 1961 Ferrari 250 SWB Competizione and earlier 250 Cabriolet. A special category was reserved for more recent supercars, including a Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster, Porsche 959, McLaren P1 GTR and a brace of Bugattis, but it was the original supercar that reigned victorious: a 1971 Lamborghini Miura. Second went to a Ferrari LaFerrari, 43 years its junior.
