Event Founder Mr James Nicholls, said this year’s Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance had attracted more than 2000 car lovers to experience extraordinary vehicles and lifestyle elements across three days in the middle of Sydney Harbour.
“The eighth edition of the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance has seen a wonderful atmosphere as people enjoyed the vehicles on display and the car parades with expert commentary, and they love being able to talk with the owners and judges to discover more about these stunning cars,” said Mr Nicholls.
“The event is growing and developing each year as we add experiences and interactions. Significantly, this year we added the special public preview opportunity ahead of the official event and it was so fabulous to share around 30 amazing cars with people before a stunning convoy across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
“Sydney continues to embrace the concours and we are excited about the future.”
