Ralph Della Cava, Trustee of The Scarsdale Concours said today “We are honored and flattered to have been chosen by McLaren Greenwich to be the site for the unveiling of the MP4 -12C to the general public.” He added, “The automotive press has been anticipating the arrival of this car since April and we are pleased to be part of the reveal.”

Evan Cygler and Denis O’Leary developed the concept for the Scarsdale Concours in 2003 while students at Scarsdale High School in an effort to create a place to showcase unique cars--both new and vintage—and to raise funds for area charities. Joining the show’s founder are Lucas Meyer, Ralph Della Cava and Bill Doescher, Gordan Rafajac, Shelley Kronengold. All are vintage car enthusiasts whom have helped facilitate past shows.
