This year's Salon Privé Concours d'Elégance at Blenheim Palace featured a selection of some of the finest cars from around the world. The event, which was heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, was judged by a virtual/real hybrid jury system.

After the Concours d’Elegance at Hampton Court in September, one of the most anticipated events of the year, Salon Prive, returned with force to the British calendar.

Organised by Andrew and David Bagley, Salon Prive has slowly emerged as one of the most prestigious and respected competitions in the panorama of great car collectors. Despite relentless pressure from the Covid-19 emergency, which is currently putting the British population in great difficulty, the organisers were still able to create a truly spectacular event.

The selection of cars, coming not only from all over Europe but also from the United States, was of the highest level. Around 80 vehicles, divided into different classes, coloured the gardens of the wonderful Blenheim Palace near Woodstock, in the Cotswolds. Among the many novelties this year, the class dedicated to the legendary McLaren F1, featuring 7 of the most significant cars of this model and a class dedicated to the magnificent cars that competed in Endurance races, including the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33TT12 from 1974 or the Jaguar XJR9 from 1988.
