The best preserved world heritage cars from many of this year\u2019s biggest concours competitions will be heading to Paris this November for a show of their own. In total seven awards will be given and the winners will be invited to display their cars at the UNESCO headquarters alongside a host of other curated classics from November 15-21.<\/p>\n
The UN-supported initiative is the brainchild of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale des V\u00e9hicules Anciens (FIVA), the global organization committed to keeping older vehicles restored, celebrated and on the road. This year has been declared World Motoring Heritage Year and FIVA is using it to promote the joys and responsibilities of classic motoring.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow is the ideal time to celebrate the freedom, pleasure and technological advances that our motoring heritage has brought us,\u201d said Patrick Rollet, President of FIVA. \u201cThe automobile has \u2013 over the last hundred years or so \u2013 had a hugely liberating effect on humanity. FIVA welcomes safer, cheaper, more environmentally friendly modern vehicles as necessary transport, but as autonomous cars become the norm on arterial roads, the back roads will increasingly be available for people to enjoy classic motoring.\u201d<\/p>\n
