Next month’s Festival of the Unexceptional will be the largest yet, because the standard of entries was so high that judges were unable to sufficiently narrow down the field.
Now in its sixth edition, the Hagerty-run Concours d’Ordinaire, celebrating exceptionally everyday – but now increasingly rare – classic vehicles will feature 53 cars, rather than the usual 50.
In all, 125 cars were nominated for this concours with a difference, each accompanied by a tale of passionate devotion that made the judges’ decision harder than ever, meaning an extra three cars were permitted for 2019’s showcase.
And, it should be noted, each contender will be driven to and from the event on Saturday 20 July at Claydon Estate in Buckinghamshire.
