Who this list is for
A concours entry needs more than a clean sports car. This list is for an owner bringing one car to a judged display and wanting its presentation, paperwork, and permitted display equipment ready on arrival.
How to use this list
Begin with the event entry confirmation, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Prepare the vehicle specification sheet, maintenance record binder, period-correct brochure copies, and restoration photographs if applicable. Pack clean microfiber towels, detail spray safe for paint, glass cleaner, soft detailing brushes, and microfiber polishing cloths last so they stay clean. Confirm whether tire dressing and a portable canopy are allowed under event rules.
What to skip
Skip restoration work and last-minute experiments with products not approved for the car's surfaces. Do not use tire dressing if event rules do not allow it. Remove the battery maintainer before display rather than treating it as display equipment. Leave the portable canopy behind if it is not permitted.
What is on this list
You will find entry and ownership documents, presentation supplies, and display materials such as a folding display sign and vehicle specification sheet. It also covers wheel chocks, bottled water, a folding chair, and documentation that may answer judges' questions. Cross off towels, brushes, brochures, and records you already have prepared.
Before you go
Review the event entry confirmation and rules one more time. Confirm the battery maintainer is removed, wheel chocks are packed, and the display sign is readable. Keep the registration, insurance, and maintenance binder together for easy access at check-in.
