Concours
International Concours d’Élégance
The Grand
In the classic tradition of the great “concorsos” The Grand will be a gathering of 30 carefully curated and selected cars only. Coming from the garage of aficionado, the international car collectors, custodians of historically significant automobiles the entrants for The Grand are the top-of-the-tops.
No question a Concours d’Élégance needs an elegant setting: Therefore, ICONS will hold The Grand on Son Vida Golf – Arabella Golf – 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 The Grand and the entrant car-owners.
The concours-field will be on the green not far away from the 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.

In addition: “R&C Judges” = rookies and connoisseurs – a new independent and fresh judging group consisting of influencers, aficionados, and petrol heads younger than 35 years – will award trophies as well.
The Grand in ICONS is looking for coachbuilding’s-classics and one-offs as well as rare examples of legendary and hidden car manufacturers.
Participation upon application – confirmation by decision of the selection committee of ICONS Mallorca.
The parking garage of the Sheraton at Golf Son Vida – located less then 30m away from the concours-grounds – will be hosting the participating cars.
