This year, the Baron was honoured in other events, such as the Antwerp Concours showcasing a few exquisite and rare cars, like a Chiron. These models were also featured in the last Concours, albeit not exactly the same cars. The 1962 Maserati 5000 GT Coupé Touring and the modern 2008 Touring Superleggera Disco Volante keep memories of that cooperation. He was also instrumental in revitalising the coachbuilding activity of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, and he personally supported the dedicated Touring display of the 2019 Zoute Concours. Accordingly, a 1934 Bugatti and a Porsche Boxster represented the VW Group. Mr D’Ieteren was a Belgian industrialist whose name is printed on the number plate frames of most Volkswagens sold in the country. The selection of cars ensures a great diversity, from prewar Bugatti through Italian classics to modern sportscars. These cars were presented on a special display podium to honour his memory. His son Baron Nicolas D’Ieteren selected five cars out of his late father s collection that, for various reasons, meant a lot to him.
The exhibition’s first stage (actually the only physically constructed podium) paid homage to Baron Roland D’Ieteren. 2020 saw many great cultural icons and sportsmen passing away, and the Zoute Concours honoured three of them.Ī fine selection of diverse classics to honour a Belgian baron
This year’s Zoute Concours honoured deceased automotive titans and celebrity collectors. In a few categories, the selection honoured a collector representing their cherished masterpieces or cars that used to belong to them once. The Golf Club in Knokke Heist hosts dozens of timeless classics competing under a particular theme. The Concours d’Elegance is a traditional highlight of the Zoute GP week.
