From Road & Track

The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este is an gathering of some of the world's greatest classic automobiles, held on the grounds of Lake Como in northern Italy. The event is one of the most exclusive car shows on the planet, but luckily for us, Harry Metcalfe of Harry's Garage was there to give us an inside look.

Each year, Villa d'Este invites around 50 historically significant classic automobiles from a wide range of genres to be judged and given awards. The event was also where both the new BMW 8-Series concept and $13-million Rolls-Royce Sweptail debuted. You certainly won't be seeing a V8-swapped Miata on the lawn for this show.

What you'll see instead are cars such as the Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 365 California, Shelby Cobra, and even an Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato. And we haven't even mentioned the pre-war cars yet.

Take a look as Metcalfe gives us the tour through the Villa d'Este concours, and make sure to pick your jaw off the floor once the video ends.
