The inaugural edition of our sister event, the Royal Bahrain Concours, is underway! Taking place on the manicured lawns of the Royal Golf Club, the prestigious event is showcasing 73 of the world's most exceptional automobiles, spanning over a century of automotive excellence from 1913 to 2025. Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the event is the Middle East's premier automotive gathering, celebrating both heritage and cutting-edge engineering.

Our show in September celebrated the full sweep of automotive history, also looking ahead to what collectors will covet in the years to come with our 'Future Classics' category. The winner this year was this stunning 1994 Bugatti EB110 America, a pioneer in the hypercar segment as the first production car with a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis and permanent four-wheel drive. This unique example, chassis 39025, debuted at the 1994 Concorso Italiano where it won the People's Choice Award. Romano Artioli later commissioned Zagato to repaint it in distinctive Blu Bugatti, declaring "A true Bugatti could only be blue." One of only two EB110 America examples produced, it became the first EB110 to receive Bugatti's La Maison Pur Sang 'Excellent' authenticity certification in 2024.

The winner in the Pre-1920s class this September was this extraordinary 1914 Bugatti Type 13 Eight Valve. It's an example of Ettore Bugatti's refined early masterpiece, featuring the distinctive egg-shaped radiator and quarter-elliptical springs that would define his future work. This particular example on show represented a remarkable preservation story - discovered by collector Uwe Hucke as scattered components in a Nice garage before being lovingly reassembled using original parts.
