showcasing ‘World’s Greatest Motorcars’ is a popular attraction at GIMSQ 2023 with visitors making a beeline to see the historic cars on display.
Mohammed Luqman Ali Khan, Curatorial Director and Author of the official event book said “On display are automotive jewels from world-renowned car collections. There is an eclectic mix of extraordinary prewar and postwar vehicles including Best of Show award winners, fabled maharaja cars, official state motorcars, iconic roadsters, a grand prix winner and also a Popemobile. The ‘star car of the show’ is Qatar’s very own, the Rolls-Royce Phantom V delivered new to the then Emir of Qatar HH Sheikh Ahmad Bin Ali Al Thani after it was showcased at the 1962 Geneva International Motor Show. Phantom Chassis 5LCG25 which was discovered by me in New York, represents the connoisseurship of Qataris, it is an automotive monument to the long-standing relations between Qatar and Geneva Motor Show. This exhibition of vintage & classic cars is a precursor to the ‘GIMS Qatar Concours d’Elegance’ planned for future.”
Billionaire Indian car collector YOHAN POONAWALLA was announced the ‘Collector of the Year 2023’ for exhibiting 7 historic motorcars from his famed collection.
