Our sister event, @london_concours, is now under a month away. Running from the 3rd-5th June, it will assemble the UK's finest privately owned hypercars, supercars and classics in the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company, nestled in the heart of the city of London. The cars on display will include this wonderful 1964 competition AC Cobra. It will star as part of the 2025 show's dedicated AC celebration. "GPG 4C " is one of the most famously campaigned AC Cobras. Delivered new to Tommy Atkins' High Efficiency Motors Racing Team in 1964 in part assembled form. The car sports the chassis number HEM 6. Roy Salvadori raced the car in the 1964 RAC TT at Goodwood, and the Autosport 3 hours at Snetterton amongst other races. The car also ran twice at Goodwood in 1965, winning the Sussex Trophy on Easter Monday and also winning the GT class in the Whitsun Trophy both in the hands of Roger Mac.

This glorious Aston Martin DB Short-Chassis Volante is going to be offered by @concoursgermany auction partner, @rmsothebys, at its upcoming Milan sale. With just 37 built, the DB Short-Chassis Volante is the rarest series-production Aston Martin convertible, blending DB5 proportions with DB6 styling. Believed to be the very car shown at the 1965 British International Motor Show, it also marked the debut of the now-iconic “Volante” name. With its exceptional rarity and showstand provenance, it is a true cornerstone of Aston Martin history. Visit @rmsothebys to learn more. The Concours of Elegance is presented by @alangesoehne
