The third year of Salon Privé, London's largest and most exclusive motoring pageant, is shaping up to be an outstanding event. Among the 120 modern supercars and classics to be displayed on the lawns of the Hurlingham Club are a number of the most recently launched exotics, including the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé, Maserati GranTurismo S, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Bugatti Veyron Hermès and the bespoke-built Antas, from Italian manufacturer Faralli & Mazzanti.
In addition, there are plenty of marques new to this year's Salon Privé, such as Porsche, Jaguar, GBR, Breckland Technology, Keating Supercars Ltd., Avro Motor Cars Ltd. (with the Avro 720 Mirage), Overfinch and Tesla – which is arriving from the US with one car for display and one for test-driving.
Turning to the classics, the spectacular array offers such delights as Steve McQueen's Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, making its UK debut, as is James Coburn's Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, the car recently acquired by Chris Evans for a record $11.9 million. Then there’s the Ferrari 250 GTO, Jaguar D-type, Isdera Imperator 108i (the last built), Lancia Stratos (the original 1970 Turin show car), Aston Martin DBR1 and Pagani Zonda Roadster. See below, for a full list of entries in the Concours d'Elégance.
Complementing the motor cars will be a display of luxury brands and products which this year includes motor boats from Riva and the Dutch company, Silvestris – the latter launching its new 23-foot Sports Cabriolet at the event.
Daytime tickets, to include champagne, drinks, buffet luncheon and afternoon tea, as well as full access to the Supercar Lawn, Concours d'Elégance and Luxury Village, cost £125.00 – but Classic Driver readers are being offered a 10% discounted rate (simply enter the promotional code CD8, when reserving tickets).
There are also a limited number of ‘entrance only’ tickets for the Public Day, Friday 4th July, priced at £50.00 each (subject to availability).
