I did attend this year’s Concours of Elegance held, as has been the case since 2017, at Hampton Court Palace, west of London and right on the Thames. The dates were September 5-7, and our report was temporarily delayed due to the Goodwood Revival.
Welcome to judging at Salon Prive.

Blooming typical! After what feels like weeks and weeks of no rain the forecast for the 27th August said rain, but when I pulled back the curtains at 5.30am the sun was shining in Brighton, as it still was 4 hours later when I arrived at Blenheim Palace for this year’s Salon Prive.

This year’s Concours of Elegance was held at Hampton Court Palace located on the side of the river Thames just under 12 miles South West of the center of London. Originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, the Arch Bishop of York, with construction commencing in 1514. King Henry the VIII received the Palace from the Cardinal in 1520. The Royal Palace of Hampton Court is a fantastic and historical place to visit even when the formal gardens are not playing home to over 60 of the world’s greatest and most beautiful cars.
