Frank M. Rinderkecht
Rinspeed Inc.The Rinspeed Senso of Swiss entrant Frank M. Rinderknecht puts the driver at the centre of attention. The Senso is powered by environment-friendly natural gas and described as the world’s “most sensual” car. It’s easy to see why, as Rinderknecht’s creation actually “senses” the driver by noting his or her biometric readings – and uses patterns, colours, music and aromas to positive effect. After all, a well-balanced driver is a safer driver. |

The Qashqai is the first car to be designed and developed from scratch at NISSAN Design Europe’s new London studio. It comes with electronically controlled all- wheel drive and is based on an innovative concept with folding seats which allows bicycles to be transported easily, for example. The Qashqai’s flexibility is further enhanced by rear-hinged rear doors and the lack of a B-pillar. This ground- breaking solution has been developed without compromising on the structural rigidity of the vehicle. |

| 002 | A | 1924 Ballot Torpedo Lagache-Glaszmann Sport RHD • 4 cylinder, 2000 cc | Dark Red (Black fenders) / Sand | 1924 Ballot Torpedo Lagache-Glaszmann Sport 
André Plasch1st Diploma and Silver Plaque in class: 1920-1929 - Open & Closed Cars "Les années folles" In the 1920s the French car company Ballot, barely heard of any more these days, provided coachbuilders Lagache-Glaszman with a chassis on which they built a Torpedo Sport body. Today the marque – which was also highly successful in motor racing – survives in only a few, rarely seen specimens. |
| 004 | A | 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8 A 'Coupé de Ville' Cesare Sala RHD • 8 cylinder, 7368 cc | Dark Red (Black fenders) 387245 TV (I) | 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8 A 'Coupé de Ville' Cesare Sala
Renato Genovese3rd Diploma in class: 1920-1929 - Open & Closed Cars "Les années folles" Italian coachbuilder Cesare Sala provided luxury superstructures for the chassis built by Isotta-Fraschini on behalf of upmarket customers nationally and internationally. The interiors also featured exclusive materials. A special-edition Isotta-Fraschini belonged to the fleet of cars owned by Rudolf Valentino, for one. In the very first Concorso de’Eleganza Villa d’Este of 1929, an Isotta-Fraschini by Cesare Sala with a faux-cabriolet body won the coveted Coppa d’Oro. |
| 006 | A | 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Springfield Piccadilly Roadster LHD • 6 cylinder, 7668 cc | Black BL 9934 (I) | 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Springfield Piccadilly Roadster
Robert BraunschweigTrofeo Rolls-Royce: To the most elegant coachwork on a Rolls-Royce by the Jury The Phantom I chassis built at the American Rolls-Royce plant in Springfield also received this impressive body in the USA. To allow access to the rumble seat, a door to the rear seat bench was added in the 1920s. |
| 008 | A | 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Springfield Dual Cowl Phaeton LHD • 6 cylinder, 7668 cc | Dark Red-Black / Dark Red ZA 562 AL (I) | 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Springfield Dual Cowl Phaeton
Gian Liugi TrevisaniSimilarly based on a Phantom I Chassis is this Dual Cowl Phaeton by American coachwork company Brewster. The smooth-running 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of more than seven litres was ideally suited for cruising along Hollywood’s boulevards and contributed to the outstanding reputation the Rolls-Royce marque enjoys to this day. |
| 010 | A | 1928 Hispano Suiza H6B Cabriolet RHD • 6 cylinder, 6597 cc | Maroon / Black BL 9992 | 1928 Hispano Suiza H6B Cabriolet
Erich HallerThe Hispano-Suiza models built by Swiss engineer Mark Birkgit were primarily targeted at a well-heeled clientele. Spain’s King Alphonso had a Hispano-Suiza model in his car fleet of the time. French coachbuilders Hibbard & Darrin, who also made a name for themselves with superstructures mounted on Rolls-Royce and Duesenberg chassis, created this magnificent two-seater H6B, which is on display for the first time in Italy after comprehensive restoration by its current owner. |
| 012 | A | 1929 Bianchi S-5 Torpedo Sport 'Weymann' RHD • 4 cylinder, 1300 cc | Maroon | 1929 Bianchi S-5 Torpedo Sport 'Weymann'
Corrado LoprestoThis Bianchi in original condition was given a specially lightweight “artificial leather body” based on a patent by the Weymann company. In the 1920s, this construction method was applied under licence by many coachbuilders thanks to its very positive impact on the car’s overall weight. We are delighted to be able to present such an unrestored model in its original condition in the Concorso. |
| 014 | A | 1926 Bugatti Type 35A Grand Sport RHD • 8 cylinder, 2300 cc | Black / Black NPE 73 (GB) | 1926 Bugatti Type 35A Grand Sport
Roland Jordi2nd Diploma in class: 1920-1929 - Open & Closed Cars "Les années folles" Apart from the famous Bugatti 35C, which was very successfully fielded in motor sport by Bugatti and claimed numerous trophies, the 35A was not designed primarily with the race track in mind. The famous British racing driver Dick Seaman received this model as a gift in his younger years, and it undoubtedly had a positive impact on the start of his racing career. The car is in absolute original condition. |
| 016 | B | 1931 Duesenberg J Convertible LHD • 8 cylinder, 2465 cc | Black / Red J 67 33 (US-NY) | 1931 Duesenberg J Convertible 
James Glickenhaus2nd Diploma in class: 1930-1939 - Open Cars "Flamboyances et extravagances" The Duesenberg J with Franay bodywork on an extended chassis was exhibited to great acclaim at the 1931 Paris Motor Show. The Paris outlet of E.Z. Sadovic subsequently managed to sell 14 Duesenbergs between October and January. The first owner of this model was Queen Marie of Yugoslavia, who was evidently impressed by its safe handling. The car was then purchased by a Peruvian Duesenberg collector, who left the vehicle in Paris, however. It has been in the United States since the 1940s and has been brought back to Europe for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este by its current owner, James Glickenhaus of New York. |

Peter KrausIn the 1930s Sir William Lyons, the founder of the marque, switched from SS Cars Ltd. to Jaguar, whose brand name survives to this day. German entertainer Peter Kraus had this sports car completely restored under his own direction, and even contributed to the work himself. This is the first time since its restoration that the car is on public display again. |

Barry G. HonThis 4 1/4 Litre Bentley is one of just two built by Vanden Plas. It is particularly light, which makes for excellent handling characteristics. Its elegant contours lend this open roadster a very special exterior. |
| 028 | B | 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet RHD • 8 cylinder, 3257 cc | Petrol / Cream | 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet 
Jack Braam RubenThe highly successful Bugatti Type 57 was available with chassis providing varying engine output.

Philippe BoulayThe well-known Paris Peugeot dealer Darl’Mat commissioned the stylist Paulin, who was also responsible for the Peugeot Eclipse Cabriolet, with designing a sports version based on the 402. In 1937, three Peugeot 402 Darl’Mat models successfully entered the Le Mans 24 Hour Race. In all, just 105 units of this model were built: 53 roadsters, 20 coupés and 32 cabriolets. |

Today some 150 remain in the hands of collectors or museums. |
| 034 | B | 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B Worblaufen Cabriolet RHD • 6 cylinder, 2300 cc | Black / Dark Red AG 176523 (CH) | 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B Worblaufen Cabriolet
Koni LutzigerThis Alfa Romeo was specially built for the 1938 Geneva Motor Show by Carrosserie Worblaufen, Fritz Ramseier. Its aluminium body and leather interior have never been restored to date and are in their original condition.

Jacques Comte de WurstembergerInspired French engineer Gabriel Voisin built not only very special cars but aircraft as well. The Voisin C14 reflected a design language that was typical of Voisin vehicles.

After the Second World War, the car passed into the hands of Count Ottorino Volonterio of Orselina (CH), who owned it until 1979. From 1980 until 2003 the Bugatti was in the possession of Monsieur F.

In June 1951 the Swiss motoring journal Automobil Revue was already testing the racing Spider on Modena’s Aerautodromo.
