  • The 2014 Concours of Elegance to gather 60 of the rarest cars from around the world at Hampton Court Palace on 5-7 September
  • Two thirds of the Concours cars will be coming to Hampton Court Palace from overseas specifically for the event, with most being seen in the UK for the very first time
  • These 60 exceptional cars will be joined by over 700 other fine automobiles from the UK’s leading Car Clubs and organised classic car tours

In just three months time, the third international Concours of Elegance will take place at Hampton Court Palace on 5-7 September 2014, with 60 of the rarest cars from around the world – many of them never seen before in this country – set to grace the Fountain Gardens on the East side of the historic Palace grounds.

Around a third of these exceptional hand-picked Concours cars will be shipped over from the USA specifically for this prestigious event.  A further third will arrive from the rest of the world, with the balance made up of some stunning UK-based cars.

Visitors to the 2104 Concours of Elegance can look forward to seeing a truly diverse range of motor cars on display, spanning 1896 right up to 2014, with sublime examples of most key car marques present, ranging from Alfa Romeo through to Zagato, including rarely seen models from Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Delage, Ferrari, Hispano-Suiza, Jaguar, Lancia, Maserati, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Talbot-Lago, and many others.

These 60 cars will be joined by over 700 other fine automobiles from the UK’s leading car clubs and organised classic car tours, all displayed within the majestic setting of the Hampton Court Palace grounds, with many more classic cars to be found in a dedicated pre-1975 ‘tax exempt’ parking area.

The annual Concours of Elegance remains unique in being the UK’s only automotive event to enjoy an authentic and spectacular Royal Palace as its backdrop, with keen Royal motoring enthusiast HRH Prince Michael of Kent being the event’s Patron.

The 2014 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace will be open to the public on Saturday 6 September and Sunday 7 September, with entry tickets, picnics and hospitality available strictly in advance only.  These can be purchased now at the Concours of Elegance website (www.concoursofelegance.co.uk).   Limited edition Concours of Elegance Posters and Souvenir Catalogues are also available.
