Concours of Elegance
DATE Late August 2019
LOCATION London
WEBSITE concoursofelegance.co.uk
The Concours of Elegance takes place at
Hampton Court Palace and brings together a
selection of the rarest cars from around the
world – many of which will never have been
seen before in the UK.
Many of the Concours cars also take part in
a 2 day driving tour in the days running up
to the main Concours event. Uniquely, the
Concours of Elegance winner isn’t selected
by a panel of judges but by the Owners of
the cars themselves. Each participant is
asked to vote on the other models on display
to decide which car is considered to be the
‘Best of Show’.

The Goodwood Revival is a three-day fes-

Circuit since 1998 for the types of road
racing cars and motorcycle that would have
competed during the circuit’s original pe-
riod—1948–1966. It is one of the world’s
most popular motor race meetings and the
only United Kingdom event which recreates
the golden era of motorsport from the 1950s
