CONNECT WITH CONCOURS OF ELEGANCE

With just over a month until the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace roars into life, we’re delighted to announce that we will be joined by Marc James, purveyors of luxury classics and race cars. The team will be showcasing a very special Jaguar E-Type at the palace, a 1965 Series 1 finished in a beautiful opalescent dark green, and first owned by our patron, HRH Prince Michael of Kent. An iconic British car with a rich and fascinating history, including sojourns on the Autobahn and Nürburgring, this particular E-Type will be one to look out for at this year’s Concours of Elegance.

The latest reimagined Porsche 911 comes from @thornleykelham - the ‘European RS’. Inspired by the 2.7 RS and GT3 RS 4.0, the RS starts with a pre-964 donor car allowing it to be as much as 300kg lighter, meaning it weighs in at around 1,000kg. A choice of three bespoke engines provides up to 400hp, all within a new lightweight body that’s longer, lower and wider. Bespoke suspension, uprated brakes - and optional carbon ceramics - quicker steering rack, and mechanical limited-slip differential improve every aspect of vehicle dynamics.. A maximum of 25 will be built, with the first three either complete or underway

CONFIRMED for Concours of Elegance 2024: 1959 Ferrari Dino 196 S Spider Our show later this summer will feature a jaw-dropping array of 1950s sports racing cars.

The machine that will be on show at Hampton Court, chassis 0776, was bodied by Carrozzeria Fantuzzi and was delivered new to US East Coast Distributor Luigi Chinetti in New York, who sold it to his customer Don Pedro Rodriguez of Mexico City.
