Salon Privé Week at Blenheim Palace is one of the most hotly anticipated events on the calendar of car buffs and lovers of all things spectacular, from helicopters, to classic boats, to high-end watches.

The Blenheim concours is not limited to classic cars – it is a Mecca for the sports exotics, both vintage and contemporary, featuring classic sports cars from 1930’s Bugattis and 50-60’s Ferraris, to the latest models of the supercars and hyper cars.

The beautifully manicured grounds host some of the leading dealers and manufacturers of the exotic car world showcasing their latest. 

The social aspect of the event draws crowds of people and tickets are sold out well in advance.

Our favourites of the 2023 event include a 1930 Bugatti type 46 Superprofile by Jarvis, 1952 Vignale Lancia Aurelia 2000 B52, 1937 Alvis Speed 25 SC by Offord & Sons, 1937 Bugatti Type 57 by Corsica, 1951 Vignale 212 Export Ferrari and a 1907 Renault Type A1 35/45 HP Vanderbuilt Racer.
