THE CONCORSO D’ELEGANZA VILLA D’ESTE 2004 :
Een stukje Historie:
Een Concours d’Elégance, Frans voor een wedstrijd om elegantie,
stamt uit de 17e eeuwse Franse aristocratie,
die met door paarden getrokken koetsen door
de Parijse parken paradeerde in de zomer.
De koetsen werden langzamerhand paardloos en
zo werden de samenkomsten meer dan alleen paraderen
maar een competitie, oftewel concours,
tussen auto-eigenaren wie de mooiste had.
Hiervoor werd ook toen al een jury samengesteld.
Vandaag de dag is een Concours d’Elégance een wedstrijd tussen
klassieke auto’s die gejureerd worden op verschillende vlakken.
Restauratie, originaliteit, is de auto compleet of is hij in unieke
gepreserveerde staat zonder restauratie.
Het jureren wordt gedaan door kenners uit het vakgebied zoals
auto-ontwerpers, journalisten, veilingmeesters en verzamelaars.
(BRON: CLASSIC EVENTS)
the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este was last held in its original
Form With the first new post-war vehicles in 1949,
the event was forgotten for almost 40 years.
The Italian historian and author Tito Anselmi revived the Consorso and
Joined forces with the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este to establish
the Concorso d’Eleganza once more.
The first attempt at revival was made in 1986,
Although this event featured classics from yesteryear
Rather than new automobiles. Unfortunately, this was to remain a beacon event
because a further nine years elapsed before
the next Concorso was held in 1995.
After rather modest beginnings, the Concorso has been on a trajectory of
Continuous improvement and expansion.
The selection and high quality of the automobiles,
the strong international presence, the smooth organisation,
The exclusive standard of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este,
the fabulous landscape of Lake Como and the numerous participants
and visitors have transformed the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este
into one of the most important Concours worldwide.
The return to the roots of the Concorso represented a milestone in 2002.
An award for the latest design studies for Concept Cars & Prototypes
was established to complement the competition for the classics.

HISTORY :
ASTON MARTIN DB4 GT Jet I 1960
The car was revealed at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show by Gruppo Bertone and
was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro who was only 22 years old at the time.
It was based on the Aston Martin DB4 GT and was originally finished
in light green and had a grey interior.
Owners and restoration
According to its most recent auction listing (2012),
it was first in Beirut before being sent to the US.
It's there that Victor Gauntlett, Aston Martin's Chairman found the car in bad shape and
sent it back to Newport Pagnell for a complete restoration by Aston Martin Works Service
under Kingsley Riding-Felce's supervision. The car had suffered an engine fire.
The car was purchased by Hans-Peter Weidemann (CH)
during its restoration which was completed in 1988.
Its inline six-cylinder, twin-cam 3.7-liter engine produces 302 bhp (225 kW)
at 6,000 rpm thanks to three Weber carburetors,
significantly more than the standard 240 bhp (179 kW) output.
0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) takes 6.1 seconds before an impressive top speed of 153 mph (246 km/h).
It has Girling four-wheel disc brakes which allowed the DB4 GT Bertone Jet
to become the first car in the world to perform a 0-100 mph-0 in less than 20 seconds.
