The UKs premier classic car Concours event returns to Hampton Court on 2 and 3rd of September 2017. Hot on the heels of Peeble Beech and showing cars of a similar quality, 60 or so of the world's most amazing cars form the centre piece of the event but there will be hundreds if not thousands of classics in the area that day. The main event leaves the field around 4.30 or so on Sunday which isn't to be missed.

The cars feature an incredible line up through the ages from an 1896 Arnold Benz Motor Carriage through several 1930's Bugattis past 60s Ferraris incl 250GT SWB California Spider right up to 2017 with a Vanquish Zagato and a McLaren P1GTR

Some gorgeous cars there, I remember standing behind that 712 when it was started up at Goodwood, in 97' I think. Deafening!

Great day indeed. Can report that the Lancia took the Best in Show Pullman Prize. All there still for Sunday. No reason to be bored in London!

I loved it..... actually parked the other side of Hampton Court bridge on the Friday and walked over. Bit of a surprise - the 5 D types an Etype and some modern Porsche hyper car arrived on the bridge the same time. Seeing 5 iconic D types on Hampton Court Bridge was a site to see.

Loving your pics, especially the one with me in it! What a great weekend and great it will be held at Hampton Court again next year. For my money the best Royal venue by far.
