A Day Out at Salon Privé, London

The day of Salon Privé was brilliantly sunny. Being a new event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, neither myself or my guests fully knew what to expect, with the differentiator being that all cars on display were for sale…

Spectacular day out at Goodwood Member’s Meeting!

There’s no better way to kick start the classic car event calendar than at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting. Returning to its traditional early spring slot this year, it signals the start of the classic motoring “season” that runs all the way to the Revival Meeting towards the end of September.

My dream car garage

What would you do if you won the lottery or came into a significant amount of money via inheritance or the premium bonds?

We asked our Director of Classic, Vintage and Sports car Finance, what he would buy if he had £1 million pounds to spend on cars. The only rule is that you need one daily driver and one “family” car…

Goodwood 78th Members’ Meeting

What a whirlwind it’s been since the last Goodwood Members’ Meeting in 2019. This year’s was held in October, contrary to its usual Spring setting. With Goodwood Revival being hosted a month ago, the organisers were able to use the remaining infrastructure for the Members’ Meeting.

The long-awaited Goodwood Revival returns

It’s hard to describe Revival, it’s almost a cross between a historical garden party and a grand prix. The attendees all get into the spirit of things, many dressed as the armed forces from the 40’s and 50’s, mods, and rockabillies, but the motorsport is still the highlight of the day…

Concours of Elegance 2021 at Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace was the venue for this year’s Concours of Elegance and what a stunning setting it was for an amazing array of cars. It might not have been clear blue skies and 30C sunshine we have seen, on rare occasions, this summer but this did not detract from a fantastic day out…

A spectacular day out at Blenheim Palace: Salon Privé 2021

With the fabulous Blenheim Palace as the backdrop, this year’s Salon Privé certainly lived up to the hype. The cars are the stars of the show, and there were some absolute superstars featured this year. With only 106 made, it isn’t often you see a McLaren F1. This year there were two at Salon Privé, a rare GTR, and an immaculate road car…

My dream £1m garage

I was asked to fill my “dream garage” with any cars of my choice but, must include a “daily driver” and a “family car” with a budget of £1m… Do I go classic, vintage, modern, race, comfortable to drive, nostalgic? The list is endless. Not only that do I choose a few expensive cars or fill my garage to the brim with lots of different types, makes and models.

Out and about: Silverstone Classic 2021

Well, what a difference a month makes! Goodwood Festival of Speed back on the 9th July this year, was bathed in glorious sunshine and mid-twenties temperatures. Just 21 days later, on 30th July of the same year, Silverstone was drenched in torrential rain. Oh, the dualities of a British summer! Silverstone Classic is fast becoming a staple of the motoring calendar. It shares many of the characteristics and attractions of Goodwood Revival but on a much more reasonable budget.

Out and about: Goodwood Festival of Speed

This was my first year attending, equipped with only a vague idea of what to expect. We were lucky enough to be in the Startline Club, which is a hospitality area, oddly enough, near the startline based in the Goodwood Hotel. It provided a relaxed environment and the food in particular, really hit the spot…
