The timeless charm of the \u201cMost Beautiful Race in the World\u201d has made its way across the Channel. Against the splendid backdrop of Grantley Hall, nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, the Yorkshire Elegance<\/strong> took place, one of Britain\u2019s most prestigious motoring events, organised by Simon Smith of The Fast Lane Club<\/strong>. Amidst vintage rarities and a refined Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/em>, the \u201cSpirit of 1000 Miglia\u201d<\/a><\/strong> award was presented for the first time in the UK. This accolade was created to promote worldwide the values of daring, elegance and pioneering vision that have defined the essence of the Red Arrow since 1927.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prize was won by the extraordinary 1955 Aston Martin DB2\/4 owned by Nicholas Smith and Lee-Ann Lodge<\/strong>. The car showcased all the charm of a vehicle that has truly lived on the road, in the most authentic way: it arrived at the event bearing its race stickers and the dust accumulated over the nearly 2,000 kilometres of the 1000 Miglia held last June<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
