Two Bugattis and a Grand Prix-winning Alfa Romeo 8C-2300 Monza will be among the vehicles from a prolific private collection displayed at this year’s Concours of Elegance, on 1-3 September.
The Switzerland-based Pearl Collection is owned by enthusiast Fritz Burkard.
These are the latest additions to the line-up for September’s event at Hampton Court Palace.
They will join a double Le Mans-winning Ferrari, a Frua-bodied Maserati and a unique Hoffman X-8 in a display of around 60 concours cars.

The one-of-six 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Grand Prix racer is one of the Pearl Collection’s star cars – and it featured in the November 2008 issue of Classic & Sports Car.
It was later rebuilt with sports-car racing in mind and passed through several owners, including King Leopold III of Belgium.
It will line up with a 1936 Bugatti T57S Atalante, while both will be joined at Concours of Elegance by an 1897 Prinetti & Stucchi tricycle, which represents another key moment in Bugatti’s history.
A young Ettore Bugatti developed the racing version of the modest three-wheeler early in his career.
