Concours d'Elegance - Palace of Holyrood House

Great to see this coming up to Edinburgh from 4-6 Sept.

Anybody been to this down south before. Is it worth the entry fee of £35? Judging by the cars from last year it may be the only chance you get to see some of the models. There also seems a great mix of the old, classic, rare and exotic.

Finally does anyone know if tickets are limited? Thanks

Thanks for flagging this up. Nice that an event of this calibre is coming to Scotland. Really high end events like this make me slighty queasy owing to the obscene amounts of money sloshing around, but I might put that to one side, buy a straw hat and blazer, and just enjoy the cars.

Only trouble is it really needs a sunny day for the full effect, so buying tickets far in advance is a bit of a gamble.

I was considering getting a ticket, purely for the rarity factor of a lot of the cars. I'll not get a chance to pop into town and see a collection like that again for a long time I don't think.

My presence may lower the tone of the audience slightly though, there is neither enough pomp or circumstance in my wardrobe for me to not stick out like a sore thumb.

Tickets bought.

Looking at the photos of previous events the cars look really special. Looking forward to it.
