2009 Concours d'Elegance Winner

Congratulations to Leon Parbs, winner of the 2009 Bay to Birdwood Classic Concours d'Elegance with his 1969 Ford Capri 1600 GT. Leon has owned the car from new and is a four times concours finalist.

The Concours d'Elegance is held each year in association with both the Run and the Classic.

The intention to enter should be clearly indicated on the entry form - and you are required to supply a photograph of your vehicle ahead of formal acceptance. Traditionally, Concours entrant vehicles are flagged off first at the Start to facilitate their arrival at the National Motor Museum for the two stages of judging.

An initial judging of all Concours d'Elegance vehicles will take place with several teams of non-technical judges inspecting the vehicles and occupants. It is therefore important that you, and your passengers, are prepared to remain with your vehicle until advised that this first round of judging is completed.

The primary scoring system is broken into three parts: the vehicle, the occupant’s attire and the overall effect of the vehicle/occupant(s). The score from the primary judges is tabulated with the ten highest scores being announced as the finalists.
