It's a pleasure to be involved with the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance, hosted by BMW and held every year at the famous five star hotel on the shores of Lake Como. There is no more exclusive concours d'elegance anywhere in the world, and Villa d'Este is also unique in respecting the tradition of showcasing the latest designs from the worlds leading manufacturers and coachwork studios. It's great to get close to show cars outdoors in natural light, and to watch and hear them moving under their own power.

For the past decade I've served as official presenter at the Villa d'Este concours and every year I learn something new. It amazes me how they keep uncovering cars to bring out- long may it continue...
