In the setting of the luscious grounds of the Royal Western India Turf Club in Mumbai, Cartier unveiled its inaugural "Travel with Style" Concours d'Élégance, commemorating India's splendid automobile heritage.

At this exclusive and unique event, the owners of superb heritage automobiles - Maharajas and other royalty, as well as private collectors - all agreed to display the subjects of their passion in public, in some cases for the very first time.

With the remarkable designs and craftsmanship which went into creating the most luxurious and distinctive of cars, these automobiles are classified as truly Indian cars, some of which rank among the most priceless and prestigious in the world due to their extraordinary and imaginative design. A wonderful celebration of sixty hand chosen international classic cars from across the globe - utilitarian, sports or flamboyant, most of these elegant vehicles have never been exhibited on the international stage before.

"This event would not have been possible without the car owners, who kindly loaned us their remarkable automobiles, as part of this amazing Indian culture and like Cartier the jeweller, these 60 cars are jewels of India." said Bernard Fornas, CEO of Cartier International.

Cartier guests were exclusively treated to the mystical opulence and elevated elegance with a private view of the Travel and Style exhibition celebrating the automotive design and coach building of India's belle époque.

In attendance were a select group of aficionados and collectors, amongst which were International and Bollywood celebrities - Shah Rukh Khan, Yuvraj Singh and many others.

Master of ceremonies, Alain de Cadenet announced the final winners which were judged by H.R.H Prince Michael of Kent, Imran Khan, The Honorable Sir Michael Kadoorie, Nick Mason, Yasmin Le Bon, Peter Stevens, Gordon Murray, James Lindsay, Don McCullin CBE, Mark Stewart and Simon Kidston.
