by Hannibal Reitano

One of the most exclusive Concours d’Elégance Worldwide, the 2019 Salon Privé Concours d’Elégance saw some of the world’s rarest and most spectacular classic cars and motorcycles battle it out.
Now in its 14 year, Salon Privé welcomed over 25,000 guests to the prestigious and stylish four-day event, staged within the immaculate grounds of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. The event continues to attract some of the most important collector cars in the world, very carefully chosen by the skilled Salon Privé Selection Committee.
The Bentley Masters celebrated 100 Years of Bentley Motors with a fabulous display of Bentleys from the factories at Cricklewood, Derby and Crewe. From the earliest through to the very latest models, the story of Bentley unfolded on Blenheim’s lawn.
