SALON PRIVÉ LONDON returns to the spectacular setting of the Royal Hospital Chelsea on 18-20 April. As with the first two outings for this innovative London event, the centrepiece will be the Concours de Vente, which showcases 75 of the rarest classic and performance cars for sale. Visitors can expect to see exceptional cars on offer from the likes of specialists Furlonger, Aston Workshop, Car Iconics, Hilton & Moss, RS Williams, Fiskens and P&A Wood.
These beautiful cars always look right at home in the historical gardens on the banks of the Thames. The famous South Lawn is rarely permitted to be used for public events yet some 20,000 people, including Jenson Button and Richard Hammond, took advantage of the opportunity for Salon Privé London last year.
And although the Royal Hospital Chelsea was itself founded in the 17th Century, it won't just host classic cars as Salon Privé London has already become synonymous with debuts from modern super- and hypercar manufacturers. If you are hungry to see the covers coming off the many promised unveilings then Thursday is the best day for you to visit, for the ultimate in cutting-edge supercar launches.

Will China Change Everything? - China is tearing up modern motor manufacture but is yet to make more than a ripple in the classic car world. That could be about to change dramatically
China now dominates the automotive world in a way even Detroit in its heyday would have struggled to comprehend.Helped by Government incentives, the new car world is dominated by China's industries: whether full cars that undercut Western models by huge amounts, ownership of storied European brands such as Lotus and Volvo, or ownership and access to the vast majority of raw materials that go into EV cars, its influence is far-reaching and deep. However, this automotive enlightenment hasn't manifested itself in the classic world in any meaningful way - until now.
