The annual The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering event has fostered a unique, exclusive, and enviable position within the frenetic 'ten day' Classic Car pilgrimage to the Monterey Penninsula, pairing fashion and exceptional cuisine with rare collections of fine automobiles and motorcycles in a garden-party setting. It celebrates the ultimate in automotive design and engineering and promotes camaraderie among fellow aficionados.

This year's event celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the BMW M Division, All things MINI, and 70 years of Jaguar and their wins at Le Mans.

Much like automobiles, bridges represent human ingenuity, design, and engineering and help connect people and ideas. Celebrating the opening of the new Peninsula Hotels in London and Istanbul, the theme highlighted famous bridges from these cities as inspiration, along with Bangkok, Big Sur in California, and New York.

Singer is a philosophy and every car we restore encapsulates our unique perspectives, the personal vision of the owner, and a celebration of heritage - reimagined with twenty-first-century engineering.'

Swedish builder Volvo introduced its first US customer commission, the Volvo P1800 Cyan, alongside the original Cyan blue prototype, which was built as a tribute to Cyan Racing's 2017 World Touring Car Championship title and has earned legendary status since its unveiling in 2020.
Finished in a combination of two dark red shades, the US car is a true Volvo P1800 Cyan built with its own unique character, reflecting how every commission is tailored to the client's specific taste and preferences. While the original blue prototype was designed, above all, to be lightweight and provide pure driving fun, built for inspired canyon drives with quick steering and firm suspension, the red car has been tailored for a more relaxed driving experience, creating more of a grand tourer to suit longer freeway journeys typically encountered in North America.
'We're grateful that many of the automotive world's most iconic brands have chosen The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering as the location to debut their ground-breaking vehicles,' said Kai Lermen, General Manager of Quail Lodge & Golf Club. 'Their presence will play a significant part in creating a memorable patron experience.'

It was a fitting tribute that a 1956 Jaguar D-Type was selected as this year's 'Best of Show' considering the event's celebration of the 70 years of Jaguar and the many display's throughout the Monterey area (and the world) honoring the Le Mans 24's 100th anniversary. During the 1950s, Jaguar won 5 of the 10 Le Mans 24 Hour races, with the D-Type earning three of those victories (1955-1957).
The Jaguar D-Type was the successor to the steel-tubed space-frame C-Type and brought aviation technology to competition car design. While it retained the successful 3.4-liter straight six from the C-Type, the improvements included three carburetors, the D-Type's shape and monocoque construction, with the body and frame combining for structural integrity. A dry sump lubrication system was employed, allowing the engine to be mounted lower for aerodynamic efficiency.
Owned by William Pope, the 1956 Jaguar D-Type, was selected for the highest honor due to its superb construction, design, attention to detail, workmanship and extensive restoration process.
