Corinna Illia reports from a German Concours d'Elegance which was held last weekend:"The 145 cars present from 1896 (Mercedes patent car) to a 1960 (Porsche 356) were presented to the public and a jury of experts (international member: Emmanuel Bacquet, director of the Schlumpf-Museum in Mulhouse). This was in the southern garden of the 300 year old baroque castle of Ludwigsburg. Best of show selected by the jury was the Post War Delahaye 135 M from Bernhard Jaeggy. Best of show of pre-war automobiles ('Vorkriegs Autos') was a Lancia Astura from 1938 which Pininfarina coachwork. The owner told me, that only 3 cabrios have been built. First owner, he said, was an Italian general, who got this car as a gift from the dictator Mussolini. Best of show elected by the visitors was the Rolls Royce Phantom II Continental of Mr. Rehberger (Oldtimer Rehberger). This car also got the third place in its class by the jury because it is in beautiful original condition. What I never saw before was the 1900 Lux ( Rear entrance Tonneau )
