Classic car on the main field during the Concours d’Elegance
The heart of the event

International Concours d’Elegance

On the main field of Landgoed Mariënwaerdt you will find the cars that tell the story of the automobile. An international jury judges them on authenticity, condition and presentation. Freely accessible on Saturday and Sunday with your ticket.

Order tickets

The highlight of the weekend since 1999: more than a hundred classics, from pre-war coachwork to the sports cars of the eighties and nineties. Below you will read how the judging works, which classes are on the field this year and who leads the roll of honour.

What is a Concours d’Elegance

An inspection, not an exhibition

A Concours d’Elegance is a competition. Cars are lined up by class and examined up close: is the car authentic, what is its condition, and how is it presented? The judgment is all about the details: the correct upholstery, the correct paint, the correct screw.

For you as a visitor, this means you see the cars as they were intended: quiet, clean, and with the owner nearby to answer your questions.

The jury evaluates a classic car on the main field
The main field at Landgoed Mariënwaerdt
The location

On the grounds of an estate dating back to 1734

Landgoed Mariënwaerdt is neither a trade show floor nor a racetrack. The cars are displayed on grass, under old trees, with the estate's farmhouses as a backdrop. That is why owners from all over Europe bring their cars here.

The main field is within walking distance of the entrance and is freely accessible all day with your ticket.

How the judging works

Four things the jury looks for

01

Authenticity

Is the car as it left the factory, with the correct engine, color, upholstery, and specifications.

02

Condition

The quality of restoration or preservation, down to the engine bay and the trunk.

03

History

The documented story of the car: owners, races, and paperwork.

04

Presentation

How the car is positioned on the field, and how the owner presents it.

Roll of Honor

Best of Show

Every year, the jury selects one car from all the class winners as the best in the field.
