It"s safe to say the annual Villa d"Este concours show - or the Concorso d"Eleganza Villa d"Este to give it its full name - is a classic car show like no other.The show itself was kick-started way back in 1929, held "in the heydey of aristocratic cars" right up until 1949, at which point it was shelved - the planned 1951 show never got off the ground. It wasn"t until 1995 that the show enjoyed a revival, which has blossomed into the present day. It stands as a gathering place for the world"s very finest classic, concours-spec motors.But, fine as this is, it"s the concept car reveals that really pique TG"s interest. Because for a while now, Villa has previewed some outrageously excellent machinery, and this weekend promises no different. We"ve already seen the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato - the fifth to emerge from Aston and Zagato"s 50-year partnership - and expect to see much, much more, including stuff from BMW.So to get you ready, here are seven of the finest concept reveals we"ve seen from the idyll of Lake Como. Ready your finest blazer, and step forth
