Looks to be a superb venue for getting up close and personal to an impressive array of cars. Anyone here planning to visit this year?

I have submitted my application to the "Prestige & Performance Competition", not really sure what to expect but thoroughly looking forward to it nevertheless.

I've taken part with a couple my cars for the last 2 years and have been accepted again this year with my 911R. What car did you enter? The variety and quality of the cars at both the full event and the Pirelli event are incredible. The organisation and quality of food, stands, etc. is second to none. I couldn't recommend it more. You'll have a great time. I'd recommend going to both events even if you don't get accepted. Good luck.

It is a good event, but ridiculously up its own backside. The Silverstone Classic is a much bigger and more relaxed show.

I've entered an AMG GT R and to my surprise it was accepted!

Great to hear you hold it in such high regard, I have provisionally planned to arrive and leave as per the requirements of the entry, what happens the day before?

Fun. And the kids enjoy it.
Got a car in again this year.
Not cheap and I do think Andrew makes a lot of money out of it!

Are there any rare cars to make it worth going not just major manufacturer niche such as AMG & 911R which to be honest aren't particularly likely to get me to part with fifty quid or whatever ?

You'll get to attend Salon Prive proper on the Saturday. You'll see all the cars and bikes from the Thursday Concours, all the manufacturer's displays and the classic and supercar specialists displays. Plus all the stands etc.

The Pirelli event on Sunday is likely to have some very unique cars. In the last couple of years there have been koenigseggs, paganis, bugattis, a McLaren F1, a road going Enzo FXX, a lot of rare Ferraris, Lamborghini, Aston Martins, Porsches. They've also had Ariel Atoms, Radicals and other track focused cars.

I believe this year some of the cars from the Salon Prive show will also be shown on the Sunday. If that happens it will be a steal at £50 or whatever. Last year they had a bunch of Miuras including the only convertible one ever made and it was stunning. They also had a Centenario. This year there will be a LaFerrari Aperta. Who wouldn't want to see one of those beauties.

Are you sure you've not been scammed as their website has no suggestion of an event on the Sunday ?

Maybe it's not public yet. I'll stop talking now.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I stand by my statement, a beauty.

Also think they look very good - a lot better than their contemporaries anyway

I will take part as a visitor (not a ownwer, just a enthusiast) at the Concours Masters - Tribute to 70 Years of Ferrari. It would be great to meet some of you guys there! See you!

I will be attending Salon Prive for the first time this year, very much looking forward to it.

As I have never been before, I'm looking at the days and guessing that Saturday is the day to go.

My 720S will be on display for the weekend - Sunday I think the main day for me.
Seen some of the line up and it's bonkers. Definitely come along if on the fence!
