AWARDS & TROPHIES

50 of the world’s rarest motor cars, ranging from the very earliest pioneering models to the present day are being brought by the major historic car collectors from around the world to compete for the highly coveted ‘Best of Show’ award.

Uniquely, the ‘Best of Show’ winner is determined by the Owners’ themselves. Each owner has one vote to choose the car, other than their own, which they believe to be the finest motor car entered into the Concours. The trophy will be presented to the winner by Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange & Söhne at the Concours Grand Celebration Dinner.

Best of Show Award

The highest distinction of the Concours, presented by A. Lange & Söhne, is awarded to the vehicle that stands out in design, condition, originality, and elegance and captures the hearts of both participants and the jury. What makes our Concours truly unique: the winner is not selected by a traditional jury, but by the participants themselves. Each collector has one vote and casts it for the car they would most love to take home and add to their own collection.

The striking silver Lion trophy was painstakingly created by sculptor and artist Robert Rattray over the course of six months.
