Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’: This prestigious annual homage to the finest in automotive design will this year include many of the most beautiful and extraordinary cars. A class of coach-built Bugatti Type 57s will set many hearts fluttering, as will the first-ever British sighting of the stunning 1938 Hispano-Suiza H6C Xenia. Other notable classes include bespoke Rolls-Royces, special Minis and early cyclecars. Expect to see some ultra-rare exotic roadsters from the late 1960s, plus some crazy 1970s wedged concept cars, including the one off Aston Martin Bulldog, Alfa Romeo Carabo and wild Vauxhall SRV.
IIRC the Ralph Lauren Type 57 SC Atalante has been rumoured!

Atalante or Atlantic? I'm sure there'll be an Atalante but an Atlantic would be pretty splendid.

Style et Luxe is one of my favourite bits of the FoS. Why people obsess and crowd round the supercars is a mystery to me!

Sorry, meant the Atlantic. It was over here for Ville D'Este a couple of months back and remember reading somewhere a little while ago that it would feature as one of the Type 57's.

Don't quote me 100% on it though, just relaying rumours wink

If you mean the Style et luxe then its an integral part of the FoS. It's round by the stables.

Nope, it's as open as the rest of the show. In fact you have to walk through it to get to the supercar paddock.

And very nice it is this year too (just got back).
