Returning for its 12th year, Salon Privé is the UK’s longest-standing, professionally-judged Concours event. Confirmed to attend the highly regarded and highly lauded Chubb Concours d’Elégance on Thursday 31st August is a stunning 1939 Horch 853A Special Roadster, which has recently undergone a four-year restoration, and a competition-focused 1965 AC 427 Cobra. Joining the automotive spectacular will be a carefully crafted, hand-picked selection of vintage motorcycles, all of which will be showcased in the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace.
Boodles Ladies’ Day is a glamour-filled and elegant treat. Held on Friday 1st September, the event will focus on fashion and socialising, alongside the hundreds of beautiful cars on display, promising a day of fine dining, luxury brands and afternoon tea with champagne that runs throughout the event.
Concours Masters, which takes place on the final day, will pay homage to one of the world’s most famous marques, Ferrari’s 70th anniversary. Entitled a ‘Tribute to 70 Years of Ferrari’, Salon Privé will present a timeline of 70 special and very different models from the Maranello-based marque. Early entries already confirmed include a 1949 Ferrari Tipo 166 Inter Coupe Touring, the oldest surviving UK-based car, and a rare UK-supplied 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta.
During year’s Salon Privé, guests and media will have unrivalled access to some of the most exclusive modern and classic vehicles, as well as the very latest luxury models presented by internationally acclaimed marques such as; Alpine, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lexus and Pagani to name but a few.
