It was an afternoon of vintage style at the fourth Cartier Concours D’Eléganc 2015 held at the Jaipur Polo Ground.

Curated by automotive historian and expert Manvendra Singh Barwani, the Cartier Concours D’Elégance showcases some of the rarest and best-preserved vintage automobiles from across India. ‘Travel with Style’ is among the world’s best four Concours d’Elégance—a vintage car exhibition and competition held every two years in India. The event that showcased 82 rarest classic automobiles and 32 best preserved motorcycles was hosted by the President and CEO of Cartier International, Stanislas de Quercize.

The Best Car of the Show was 1933 Minerva AL 40HP owned by renowned collector Diljeet Titus and the Best Motorcycle was 1936 Royal Enfield 500cc owned by Parvinder Singh.

The event saw many royalties, diplomats and industrialists who have a passion for collecting vintage cars and bikes. We saw Gaj Singh of Jodhpur, Geeta Devi of Kapurthala, Tripureshwar Singh Kachhi of Baroda, Harshvardan and Priyadarshani Singh of Dungarpur and Aishwarya Katoch ans Shailaja of Kangra. Priya Paul, Raghupati Singhania, Sanjay and Shalini Passi, Sita Nanda and Meera and Muzaffar Ali were other known faces seen at the do. The pre-judging day of the concurs had Ratan Tata and Gautam Singhania enjoying the vintage beauties with Quercize.
