As the historic home of the
Formula 1 Grand Prix and the
Monte Carlo Rally, and annual events such as
Top Marques and inter, Monaco has built an enviable reputation as the European capital of the motor car. With over 30,000 visitors expected, the Monaco Motor show is one of the highlights of the year.And just as every Grand Prix has its Historic Grand Prix, and every Monte Carlo Rally its ‘Rallye Historique’, so the Monaco Motor Show is partnering for the third year running with a classic car event:
Monaco Motor Legend.
Like the Motor Show's website, Port Hercule has been split between the two events. On either side of the harbour (where the pits are located for the Monaco Grand Prix), the twin car shows are taking place from 8 to 11 March.
Monaco Motor Legend comprises a tented area for vintage and classic motorcycles as well as an area of extremely collectable classic cars - all very rare - and very pricey. But you don't have to break the bank to enjoy the experience: you can live the automobile legend by coming to watch the Monte Carlo Concours d'Elegance, a splendid parade in period cars held on Sunday 11 March.
