The World’s Most Spectacular Concours Setting

Hosted within the grounds of Blenheim Palace, the UK’s only concours held within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Salon Privé offers one of the world’s most extraordinary automotive settings. From sweeping palace lawns and Italian Gardens to the Water Terraces and state rooms, every backdrop is designed for elegance, theatre and unforgettable presentation.

More Than a Traditional Concours

Salon Privé blends exceptional automobiles with fine hospitality, curated retail experiences and an elegant social calendar. Alongside the concours field, guests experience leading names in fashion, watches, jewellery, art and travel, while cocktail receptions, gala dining and evening celebrations create an atmosphere that feels immersive, celebratory and distinctly contemporary. It is a concours designed to be enjoyed as much as admired.

Exceptional Hospitality & Owner Experience

Designed around collector comfort, Salon Privé combines internationally renowned hospitality with effortless accessibility. Located just over an hour from London, the Oxfordshire setting offers a relaxed countryside escape within easy reach of major international airports. Hospitality is delivered by Absolute Taste, recognised globally for its work across Formula 1, Goodwood, The Open Championship and private aviation.

Curated Automotive Excellence

Salon Privé presents a carefully curated entrant field spanning significant classics, collector cars, limited-production supercars and contemporary hypercars. The concours celebrates the evolution of automotive design, craftsmanship and innovation, supported by an internationally respected judging panel of leading historians, designers, marque specialists and automotive experts.

The Future of Collecting

Salon Privé continues to evolve alongside the collector car world, recognising the icons shaping a new era of automotive collectability. New for 2026: Limited Production Supercars (2001–2026) and Hypercar Heaven (2005–2025). These new classes celebrate the rarity, innovation and cultural significance of the machines redefining modern concours culture from analogue-era supercars to the most advanced hypercars ever created.

Two Best of Show Awards

Reflecting the evolving world of automotive collecting, Salon Privé now presents two distinct Best of Show awards. One honours the finest pre-2000 classic in the Concours d’Élégance, while the other celebrates the very best modern collector car in the Concours d’Excellence, recognising excellence across both heritage and contemporary automotive design.

Why Owners Return

From first-time entrants to internationally recognised collectors, owners return to Salon Privé for its unique balance of prestige, hospitality and atmosphere. The event offers not only meaningful concours recognition, but the opportunity to present exceptional automobiles within one of the world’s most celebrated automotive and social settings.

Prestigious Without Pretension

What distinguishes Salon Privé is its atmosphere. While delivering the standards expected of a leading international concours, the event is widely regarded as more engaging, sociable and welcoming than many traditional concours gatherings. Collectors and guests enjoy an experience that feels relaxed, immersive and distinctly modern – where automotive excellence and celebration exist in equal measure.

“More than a concours. An experience unlike any other in Europe.”
“Where collectors, culture and celebration come together.”
