Salon Privé: Thursday 30th August 2018 – Saturday 1st September 2018, Blenheim Palace, Witney, UK

Salon Privé has traditionally been held in the plush grounds of London’s Syon Park, but Salon Privé hospitality has moved to Blenheim Palace following it’s 10th anniversary celebrations in 2015, where privileged guests experienced a once-in-a-lifetime chance to mingle with the star-studded celebrity guest list at this fabulous corporate hospitality event.

Salon Privé is the UK’s premier ‘boutique’ motoring event comprising of a Motor Show, a Concours d’Elégance, a Tour d’Elégance, a Ladies’ Day, an Art and Memorabilia Fayre and a Luxury Brands Village. It is a hospitality-only event appealing to discerning guests, collectors, buyers, owners and enthusiasts who prefer a more intimate and engaging experience.

It is a presentation of the very finest automotive and luxury brands as well as the rarest and most valuable of classic cars and motorcycles all of which are beautifully displayed on the lawns of Blenheim Palace.

Super, Luxury, Hyper, Mega and Classic Cars

Salon Privé is an event where guests can relax, enjoy superb hospitality and choose their latest automotive acquisition. It is the only ‘motor show’ in the UK to focus purely on premium and super car brands and as such, the manufacturers at Salon Privé represent the very pinnacle of the automotive market. Many of them choose the event to launch new models and in some cases their brand to the market. The open ‘Garden Party’ style of the event allows guests uninterrupted access to all of the cars on display without the usual queues and barriers associated with a ‘public’ motor show.

Marques that have attended Salon Privé previously include:

Salon Privé is not just about cars; it is also a lifestyle event that features an eclectic mix of luxury brands representing product sectors such as Jewellery, Watches, Mobile Technology, Yachts, Private Jets, Audio Visual, Beauty, Furniture and Tailoring to name but a few.

Attending marques at Salon Privé have included:

Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance

The Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance has become a key feature of Salon Privé. In the same way as Pebble Beach blends old with new, so has Salon Privé successfully incorporated a judged classic car event alongside the manufacturers’ displays.

Attracting hugely wealthy collectors, owners and enthusiasts from around the world, the Concours has become an event in itself that saw in 2014 over 100 fabulously rare and valuable motor cars displayed on the lawns for the three days. With the introduction in 2012 of dedicated classes to mark specific celebrations such as 25 years of the Ferrari F40 and 60 years of the Mercedes-Benz SL, a stunning line up of Gullwings, as well as a dedicated design class which focused on Italian Coachbuilders, Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, it was by far the best yet.

Equally impressive was the line up of no less than 17 judges including Chief Judge Derek Bell MBE, CEO of Aston Martin, Dr Ulrich Bez, Director of Design at Aston Martin, Marek Reichman, Styling Director at McLaren Automotive, Frank Stephenson and Head of Zagato, Andrea Zagato, to name but a few.

Now frequently compared with such established events as The Quail, Villa d’Este and Pebble Beach it is, without question, the UK’s most prestigious Concours d’Elégance.
