Don’t miss the brilliant car club displays this September at Concours of Elegance

This year’s Concours of Elegance will welcome a Bugatti Type 57 Atalante once used by marque founder Ettore Bugatti, the rare Monteverdi 375L that starred in our September 2025 issue (click here to read the full story), a very special Aston Martin MkII Sports Saloon and so much more to the palace’s Great Fountain Garden, where 2026’s Best in Show winner will be revealed.

Last year’s victor was a one-off Rolls-Royce Phantom I, known as The Phantom of Love.

If you’re going to Concours of Elegance from 4-6 September 2026, remember to check out the Car Club Displays, too. 

A number of groups will be marking motoring milestones: Club Lotus is celebrating six decades of the Europa and the Jensen Owners’ Club is paying tribute to the Interceptor.
