I got three words to say tonight: Vintage. Classic. Elegant.
Those words can best describe what I've just seen tonight at the Kuwait's 2nd Concours d' Elegance happening at the grounds of Marina Crescent..I have seen a lot of vintage cars before but I have never seen a huge gathering of historical and vintage cars, all together in one place! The event is very prestigious and yet, very rich in history.
I mean, where else can one find cars owned by royalties like Prince Albert of Monaco, King Farouq (the last King of Egypt), the rulers of Oman, UAE and of course, Kuwait's very own Sabah Family. These cars are featured as a side attraction along with some muscle cars parked around the marina. The event also features the current generation of "prestigious" cars like the Aston Martins, Bentleys, Maserati and Ferrari from the event sponsors.
But still, the vintage and classic cars are the stars of the event. And not even the chilling winds can hamper my spirits after seeing these cars..Classic cars, as early as the 1920's and with some coming from outside Kuwait, all restored and maintained to flawless condition. It does not take a car enthusiast to admire such perfection and elegance.
