Concours D'Elegance
The 2011 Concours d’Elegance will follow the successful formula of previous years, with classes being similar to those of last year. The usual Stanford Hall rules apply to all classes.
All vehicles must have been registered for at least three years or have covered a minimum of 20,000 miles. Owners of vehicles which do not meet these criteria may still enter but on a display basis only.
To enter, please print off a copy of the entry form, and return to the concours manager.
Entry notes
Class 5 (1302/1303 Super Beetles) has been poorly supported over the last few years and will, once again, be included into Class 3. If there is sufficient interest, however, the class may be reinstated.
The Super Class will, as always, be open to last year’s VW Group Class winners (Classes 1 – 16 and Class 18). This year, however, it will be divided into two sections, these being for vehicles from Classes 1 – 11 and from Classes 12 – 16 and 18.
The Stanford Hall Concours d’Elegance is for unmodified vehicles and owners of custom and heavily modified vehicles are discouraged from entering. All new entries should be accompanied, where possible, with a photograph. A digital paper copy is sufficient.
As in previous years, all classes will be strictly limited to 10 vehicles, so pre-booking is strongly recommended and is becoming increasingly essential to avoid disappointment on the day. A further advantage of pre-booking is that it provides free entry to the show for the vehicle and its occupants. Please complete the enclosed entry form only if you are certain of attending the event, as non-attendance spoils the continuity in the layout of the Concours area and may prevent other enthusiasts from attaining a place.
Entries on the day cannot be guaranteed and are only accepted at the discretion of the Concours Manager, and then only if space permits.
Stanford Hall, in common with most other VW events, penalises vehicles which are brought to the event on a trailer and do not show a current road fund licence and MOT.
Stanford Hall is a member of the loose association of VW Classic Concours Shows, which was introduced in an attempt to standardise judging sheets and judging criteria.
As in previous years, there will be a special entry gate (shown on the rear of the swinger sent to entrants with their booking confirmation), which will provide an excellent “fast-track” entry and exit from the grounds. As always we are constantly pressing the Hall management for improvements to the rear entry roadway. All entrants should ensure that they are in position, ready for judging by 10.30am. They must be prepared to leave their vehicle in the Concours area until after the awards ceremony at approximately 4.00 pm. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disqualification. The organisers feel strongly about this clause and would point out that they offer free entry and, as such, ask participants to leave their vehicles in place for the paying public’s viewing pleasure.
Please note that all vehicles are displayed entirely at owners risk and neither Stanford Hall nor the Leicestershire & Warwickshire VW Owners Club accept any liability for actions beyond their control.
