An international jury of automobile experts has selected the best cars on show at the 2024 Ampol Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance on Cockatoo Island, Sydney.
More than 75 vintage and classic cars, super and hypercars, motorcycles, motorboats and sustainable new energy vehicles with a combined worth of more than $100 million were on display at the sixth annual event.
An exclusive spectacle for car lovers
From an extraordinary range of exceptional vehicles dating from 1920 to 2024, the Ampol Best in Show vehicles were decided by the international jury, led by Alfa Romeo expert and Vice President Registro Internazionale Touring Superleggera, Alessandra Giorgetti from Milan.
Event Founder and Curator, Mr James Nicholls, said this year’s Ampol Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance had attracted more than 1400 motoring and haute lifestyle enthusiasts. “With motor cars, motorcycles and motorboats, designer jewellery, bespoke fashion and design, fine food from celebrity Chef Sean Connolly, Champagne Pommery and Château La Gordonne rosé, the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance is quickly becoming the leading haute lifestyle experience. We’re already planning the 2025 Concours for the first weekend in March and the interest we have seen this year reinforces this event will continue to improve still further and evolve.”
