Salon Privé, the B Corp certified luxury automotive showcase, is gearing up for its 20th anniversary celebrations by unveiling the highly anticipated concours entries
Salon Privé, the UK’s most prestigious luxury automotive event, has unveiled its lineup of concours entries for its 20th anniversary celebrations.
The only B Corp certified automotive event in history, the event will take place on the grounds of Blenheim Palace on 27 and 28 August, with a team of international judges welcoming a host of spectacular and super rare privately-owned classics.
First in line is the Duesenberg Model SJ – a luxury automobile that was made by one of the foremost luxury car manufacturers in the United States. Unveiled in 1932, the Model SJ features a supercharged engine that produces 320 horsepower, making it one of the fastest and most powerful cars of its time.

Produced in extremely limited numbers, Salon Privé will welcome one of just 36 Model SJ units ever made, which will be travelling all the way from the US.
Joining the Duesenberg will be a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, which was first registered to the German actress Romy Schneider. With its original red interior, this special Mercedes-Benz will come to Salon Privé from Germany.
Also announced is a 1964 Alpine M64 – one of just three prototypes built for the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans – as an entry for the 20th anniversary concours. The most successful of the three prototypes, it has been hidden away for nearly 50 years. This will also be the first time this car is shown at a UK event.

“The calibre of the concours entries is higher than ever, giving this year’s guests a glimpse of what’s to come,” he said. “Our 20th Anniversary Concours will rightly contain some of the finest and rarest motor cars from around the world.”
