Cartier will host the fifth edition of its ‘Travel with Style’ Concours d’Elegance, the classic car and motorcycle show, at the Falaknuma Palace grounds, Hyderabad, in February 2017.
The Concours is now a part of the FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) World Motoring Heritage Year (WMHY) programme, and is listed as a Type 1 event. This year, the prestigious FIVA Preservation Award will be presented to the Best Preserved car.
Manvendra Singh, Curator - ‘Travel with Style’ says “It’s nice to have international recognition for the Cartier Concours, not only from FIVA, but also from our distinguished panel of Judges, who love to return to the event every time. We are proud to organise this uniquely Indian event promoting the Indian automotive heritage."
