Salon Prive / Concours D'Elegance London mystery
Discussion
Anyone know the story with this? I've noticed that Salon Prive has now moved to Syon Park in June, and the Hurlingham Club will now be hosting a Concours event in July.
Seems a bit bizarre. Looks like someone has muscled in on the Hurlingham Club?
Anyone know anything? Salon Prive was/ is a great event.

I presume it outgrew the Hurlingham. I know the cost of hiring the place was enormous too.Seems a bit bizarre. Looks like someone has muscled in on the Hurlingham Club?

What's the concours event at the Hurlingham in July Ed? Can't find any mention of it.

If they are not affiliated Concours London seem to be borrowing images of Salon Prive.
The Hurlingham Club was a great location, and nice and close to central London. Particularly as my best man lives 50m away on Napier avenue
Syon not nearly as convenient, particularly when quaffing champagne is such an important part of the afternoon.

You must have had a fine filter on to make either that Zonda F or the Spyker look even vaguely clean!
I was amazed. The check list must have been:
1. Champagne - yup.
2. Caviar - yup.
3. Smoke Salmon - yup.
4. Oysters - yup.
5. Slappers - yup.
6. Valeters to clean these 1/4 million pounds worth of cars that we have, being as we are a concours car show - nah, we'll be alright.
Really very strange.

Absolutely - for up to 600 cars a day and more if necessary. The beauty of Syon is that in a similar way to the US events like Concorso d'Italiano, etc, guests will be able to drive their super cars and classic cars to the event and park up safely and free of charge - we might even be offering a prize of some sort to the best car in the car park each day - guests can even transfer in and out by helicopter. Access via A4 & M4 is easy and if you have too much to drink and need to leave the car overnight and collect in the morning, that's not a problem.

Quite handy that, going on the last couple of times we have attended! 
Without doubt, one of the best "parties" of the year for us, and we look forward to seeing what the new surroundings do for the event.
Thanks guys - I read in The Telegraph today about Goodwood and Lord March comenting on how he and his team were always worrying about the event and the visitor experience, etc - we share similar concerns and attention to detail as he does to make sure that everyone that joins us has a brilliant time - like him, we're perfectionists. This year's event will be our best yet without a doubt - you can always see updates via the website but I'll post here as well as we move to confirm the final few brands before once again selling out - the only event in the UK to focus purely on premium OEM's. Have a good weekend, D

The cars had been driven there by the owners so bound to pick up a bit of mess on the way. It didnt help that a lot of people had their hands all over the cars, especially the Zonda.I was amazed. The check list must have been:
