From pre-war racing legends to modern hypercars, Salon Privé unveils the 13 unmissable cars from the 2026 concours
Salon Privé, the B Corp certified luxury automotive showcase, has unveiled a selection of 13 extraordinary cars that should be on your radar at this year’s concours.
From pre-war racing legends and one-off coachbuilt masterpieces to prototype hypercars and modern automotive icons, this year’s concours will bring together the world’s rarest and most significant automobiles.
Taking place in the Blenheim Palace grounds on 2 and 3 September 2026, Salon Privé is the only B Corp certified automotive event in the world, and will see a team of international judges welcoming a host of spectacular and super rare privately-owned classics.
Among the 13 unmissable cars being showcased at the concours is the 1933 Armstrong-Siddeley Special Six. Built during one of Britain’s greatest periods of automotive innovation, this car captures the craftsmanship and engineering excellence that defined luxury motoring before the Second World War.
Then we have the Maserati 8C 3000, which is one of the rarest Maseratis ever built and remains one of the most coveted pre-war sports cars in existence. This is not the only Maserati on display, as Salon Privé 2026 is also showcasing the Maserati 3500GT Spyder Prototipo by Vignale, which embodies the glamour and sophistication of post-war Italy.
Fourth is the Alfa Romeo Sprint Berlinetta, which celebrates the centenary of Touring designs and fifth is the Lamborghini Miura P400S, which is widely regarded as the world’s first true supercar.
Other cars on the unmissable automobiles list include the Arnolt Bristol Deluxe, the Porsche 901, Ferrari 166MM by Touring, Ferrari 328 GTS, Ferrari 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet, Bugatti EB110 Prototype, Aston Martin Valiant Prototype and the Bugatti Bolide – with the latter being one of the most highly anticipated hypercars being displayed at the concours.
Speaking about the cars, Andrew Bagley, chairman and co-founder of Salon Privé, expressed that while the cars are obviously spectacular, it’s the stories behind them that make the concours so special.
“Every year, the Salon Privé Concours brings together some of the world’s finest collector cars, but it’s the stories behind them that make the event so special. This year’s line-up spans almost a century of automotive history, from pioneering pre-war racers to the latest generation of hypercars, with each class celebrating a unique chapter in motoring,” said Andrew.
“Whether you’re passionate about coachbuilt classics, iconic Ferraris, landmark anniversaries or the newest limited-production supercars, our 2026 Concours promises an exceptional collection of cars that visitors simply won’t see together anywhere else,” he added.
