The Most Famous Concours d’Elegance: Hampton Court and Salon Privé, British Tradition and Inclusion

One glance around is enough to understand how the British passion for classic cars perfectly blends with the sumptuous palaces of a country that continues to follow the stories of its Royals with respect and curiosity. In London, at the palace that was once the residence of Henry VIII and opened to the public by Queen Victoria in 1838, the aristocratic Hampton Court Concours of Elegance takes place. A concours that, for variety's sake, has also been held at Windsor Castle and St. James Palace. The formula of the Concours is the classic one with about sixty cars selected for judging, from which the class winners and the Best of Show are chosen.
