CONCORSO D’ELEGANZA 25-27 MAY

As backdrops to classic events go, you won’t get much better than the breathtaking shores of Italy’s Lake Como. Now nearly 90 years old, this prestigious concours at Villa d’este celebrates two- and four-wheeled classics. The first day is strictly reserved for the lucky entrants, but the remaining two at Villa Erba are open to the public, the first featuring ’bikes and the second cars. And what cars they’re likely to be: everything from ’30s Bugattis to ’60s Ferraris. 0049 89 127 644 527; www. concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com
