International Concours d’Élégance
Grand Masterpieces
In the classic tradition of the great “concorsos” Grand Masterpieces will be a gathering of 50 carefully curated and selected cars only. Coming from the garage of aficionado, the international car collectors, custodians of historically significant automobiles – the entrants for Grand Masterpieces are the top-of-the-tops. No question a Concours d’Élégance needs an elegant setting: Therefore, ICONS will held “Grand Masterpieces” in flamboyant Son Vida – at Arabella Sheraton Golf Son Vida – one of the leading golf courses in Europe.
The Castillo Hotel Son Vida – an epic Grand Hotel since the forties and fifties – a part of the Luxury Hotel Collection – and the Sheraton Mallorca / Arabella Golf Hotel Son Vida are the backdrops and the cosy homes for Grand Masterpieces and the entrant car-owners.
The concours-field will be on the green not far away from the Es Carbo-Terrace of the Sheraton which overlooks the “line-up” of the coachbuilding-classics, sportscars, prototypes built from 1920 until 1984. Wonderful to spend the day here.
