1 ZOUTE CONCOURS D ELEGANCE by Degroof Petercam 6-7 OCTOBER 2018

2 Intro by Philippe Masset A PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE AND ELEGANCE Since the early days of the event in 2010, Degroof Petercam never stopped increasing its involvement in the ZOUTE GRAND PRIX until becoming one of its main partners. In 2014 the partnership moved up a gear when we became a member of the select platinum sponsors club as organizer of the so-called ZOUTE CONCOURS D ELEGANCE by Degroof Petercam. A long-term commitment for such a prestigious and unique event fits the long term vision of Degroof Petercam seamlessly. Why? Because we share the same values as the ones the ZOUTE GRAND PRIX stands for. Professionalism, entrepreneurial spirit and exclusiveness are indeed exactly what our approach is all about. Being part of such a high-quality event with an international renown makes us proud. Over time, the ZOUTE GRAND PRIX has grown into a mandatory point of interest for all classic car lovers from both inside and outside the country. Numerous participants originate from one of the countries Degroof Petercam is active in, such as Luxembourg, France and Switzerland. The secret of the ZOUTE GRAND PRIX success is the passion shared by organizers and participants alike. Similarly, our passion with which we accompany our clients, provide them with advice and actively prepare their future is the key to our own success.

3 Forword by Philip Kantor As director of the ZOUTE CONCOURS D ELEGANCE by Degroof Petercam, I am delighted to welcome you to the Royal Zoute Golf Club and to the enchanting seaside resort of Knokke-Heist. Along with my colleagues from the very international jury, we would like to welcome you to this year s event where about 100 carefully curated motor cars, including several quite exceptional and historic examples, will be presented to a worldwide audience. We offer you the opportunity to view pre and post war sports, competition and fine touring cars with magnificent coachwork to suit every taste and purpose. I would also like to take this opportunity to particularly thank the owners of the magnificent cars that will be on show here this year as without their passion, dedication and generosity to show their treasured possessions, it would be impossible to stage this event, which thanks to their presence has grown year after year. The jury composed of carefully selected judges and I as your concours director, all look forward to welcoming you to the event and sharing a weekend of excellence and celebration of the motor car with you here in Belgium.
