Salon Privé gears up for its London spectacular

Royal appointment

SALON PRIVÉ LONDON returns to the spectacular setting of the Royal Hospital Chelsea on 18-20 April. As with the first two outings for this innovative London event, the centrepiece will be the Concours de Vente, which showcases 75 of the rarest classic and performance cars for sale. Visitors can expect to see exceptional cars on offer from the likes of specialists Furlonger, Aston Workshop, Car Iconics, Hilton & Moss, RS Williams, Fiskens and P&A Wood.

These beautiful cars always look right at home in the historical gardens on the banks of the Thames. The famous South Lawn is rarely permitted to be used for public events yet some 20,000 people, including Jenson Button and Richard Hammond, took advantage of the opportunity for Salon Privé London last year.
