Salon Privé to celebrate 100 years of Le Mans 24h

Exclusive display to feature legendary cars from Porsche, Jaguar and Ferrari

Salon Privé will continue the worldwide celebrations marking 100 years of the Le Mans 24 Hours later this month with an expertly curated display of spectacular racers.
 
The five fearsome Le Mans challengers represent some of the most exciting periods of racing at La Sarthe, with two mighty Porsche 962s from the 1980s leading the display. The Blenheim Le Mans showcase will also include a unique Jaguar XJ220, a front-running Porsche 911 and a Ferrari from the 2010s driven to multiple victories by F1 legend Giancarlo Fisichella.
 
Adding a radical race-bred element to Salon Privé in this historic year for the Le Mans 24 Hours, guests will be able to inspect the cars up close to have their own Le Mans experience in the fabulous grounds of Blenheim Palace.
 
“We’re delighted to continue the celebrations for 100 years of the Le Mans 24 Hours with our own expertly curated display of legendary cars,” said Salon Privé co-founder and director David Bagley. “All these cars have colourful stories and I’m sure our guests will enjoy seeing them up close and capturing their powerful potency, sharing no doubt on social media, to continue the celebration of 100 years of Le Mans!”
 
Henry Pearman, a lifelong passionate follower, collector and racer of historic endurance cars added: “We are thrilled to again assist the team at Salon Privé, after helping with the “Derek Bell’s Dozen” Group C Porsche display in 2011, this time extending to celebrate the past forty years, spanning the 956 based launch model works 962, through to the GT1 and GT2 era cars that are still running in this Le Mans Centenary year”.
 
Salon Privé returns to Blenheim Palace from Wednesday, 30 August. The Club Trophy presented by Lockton is taking place on Saturday, 2 September offering Club members the exclusive opportunity to vie for both Manufacturer’s and Secretary’s Awards.
 
As the UK’s most exclusive automotive garden party, you can experience a day filled with super and hyper car manufacturers, classic car specialists and luxury brands on display. It’s an unforgettable day out for any enthusiast.
