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.

Stately Home number two on my three part ‘Grand Homes’ tour is Hampton Court Palace, a location I feel to rival that of Ville d‘Este and Pebble Beach. (See Stately Home number 1)
This event is a bit unusual in that the best in show winner at the concours is chosen by the owners themselves. Each owner is granted one vote to choose the car (other than their own of course) which they believe to be the finest motor car entered into the Concours. I also understand that each owner is also asked to select a vehicle from each decade that they consider to be the finest motor car entered in the event from that decade.
