The world of thoroughbred racing cars and top-end collector vehicles is still perceived to be primarily a male pursuit. But the reality is that some of the most voracious automotive thrill seekers and knowledgeable car collectors in the world are – and have always been – women.

On Saturday 26th July, a group of 20 rare and exotic vehicles, all proudly owned by women will join the Concours line up.

Ladies Concours is inspired by the pioneering icon, Bertha Benz. Formally known as the first woman to drive an automotive vehicle – Benz drove a distance of 60 miles on uneven, poorly tarmacked roads – crowning her the title for the first long distance drive. Perfecting the craft of improvisation, the vehicle broke down on the journey. A true pioneer, Benz used her garter to reignite the ignition, enabling her to complete the journey and crown her iconic story in history.
