Salon Privé - Blenheim Palace.

[Jason_E]

Due to the lack of internet I havent had a chance to post these photos up. However, a few weeks ago I went to the Salon Privé event, at Blenheim Palace for the first time. Since I live up the road, it'd be rude not to. The public show ground, and the "Parades" (Read as: Cars hooning it through the grounds) meant for a dream petrol head day.

Whilst we were there, in the public viewing area, a random guy came up and gave us his VIP wristbands. Luckily, we already dressed to the code they have on the off chance we could slip in. So in the end, a £150+ ticket for free and the chance to look around an unholy amount of multi million pound cars. WIN!

So yeah, the VIP area. Literally another world. Small boutique stalls, car auction, and all of the exclusive dealers showing off their stock... oh and bars.

DB5 not exclusive enough? Okay, have a de-bumpered and wide arched one then.

Singer 911 made my Instagram go a bit mental when I posted this picture up.

Oh my, what a selection.

The XJ220 makes me go all funny, is that a special edition?

Yup, its an XJ220S. A special all carbon version made by TWR back in the day.

Even more awesome then!

90's super/hyper cars are so much cooler than modern day equivalents

Agreed. There were 2 Bugatti EB110's in the Public show area, and I dont think I've ever seen on up close. The silver one had the engine which set the Production car Speed record at the time as well. Fantastic cars.

I don't think I've seen an EB110 in the flesh either.

One of those, an XJ220, f40 and a 959 would be top of the list in my lottery garage. Then probably quite a lot of the other metal in the above pictures

That red Carrera GT had aged a lot lot better than the usual silver ones.

Good pictures, Bicester.
