In what has been heralded as the best Salon Privé Concours
d’Elégance ever, a simply exquisite 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S
Berlinetta claimed the honour of ‘Best in Show’ alongside eleven
other beautiful category winners, on Friday 24th June, at Syon
Park. The world renowned London-based concours presented its
rarest and most stylish collection to date, with over 80 cars
displayed and paraded in the palatial grounds of Syon House, the
London home of the Duke of Northumberland.
The Alfa Romeo which scooped the ultimate accolade, is a
fascinating car for many reasons; Not only is it a rare and
beautifully restored example of this hugely desirable pre-war
model, but this particular car had been purchased new by the
infamous Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, who gifted the car to
his mistress Clara Petacci. It is said that Ms. Patacci took her
last ever journey in the car before being arrested.
Salon Privé co-founder, Andrew Bagley, said of this year’s event:
“We are so honoured to have brought together such a stunning
collection of beautiful and historically significant cars for the 2011
concours, which included amazing collections of sports cars,
touring cars, racing cars and motorcycles. This concours is now
truly world-class and an event for the UK to be proud of”.
In addition to the mouth-watering collection of cars and
motorcycles, the event also attracted an outstanding panel of
judges for this year’s event. Derek Bell, who is a long time
supporter of Salon Privé, was once again a key member of the
panel, and this year he was joined by an esteemed collection of
individuals who are all acknowledged experts in their fields.
