The ultimate luxury and super car show, the Salon Privé is on course to be the biggest yet, with ticket demand higher than ever, driven by eight super and luxury car debuts and an extensive Concours d’ Elegance.

In one month’s time, the gardens of London’s exclusive Hurlingham Club will be transformed, with Europe’s largest single display of luxury cars, supercars and some of the rarest cars classic cars creating a motoring and social occasion unlike any other.

Headlining the luxury car attractions is the Rolls-Royce 200EX, the latest in the grand tradition of Rolls-Royce ‘Experimental Vehicles’. Smaller and more dynamic in its exterior design, while remaining every inch a Rolls-Royce, 200EX makes its UK public debut at Salon Privé just weeks after the company confirmed it will be the basis for the all-new Rolls-Royce Ghost.
Salon Privé will also host several new production and concept supercars around its Super Car Lawns, including the UK debut of Aston Martin’s One-77, plus a world premiere of the production version of the Vermot Veritas RSIII supercar.
