The Salon Privé British Supercar Show at Syon Park was just as spectacular as the Salon Privé Ladies Day and Concours D'elegance events we've previously featured on Pukka PR website. Once again it was a privilege viewing and admiring the latest sensational supercars, hyper cars and concept cars showcased by leading international manufacturers. Every year, the event attracts thousands of supercar aficionados who like us appreciate the aesthetics, design, development process and engineering work involved in producing such hi-tech cars.
In between viewing and photographing cars we attended press talks one of them relating to Overfinch, a British company which customises Land Rover cars with special features and detailing. We were shown a black Range Rover LWB created with carbon-laid fibre body work and a luxury black leather interior finished with mother of pearl on panels.
Various special guests from the automotive industry were invited to Salon Privé to talk about their car brands. Horacio Pagani Founder & Chief Designer at Pagani automobili appeared at the Pagani parade where Pagani car owners converged at SP for the 1st time attracting lots of attention.
Some of the drivers who participated in Gumball 3000 Miami 2 Ibiza Rally June 2014 (also covered by Pukka PR) brought their cars to parade at Salon Privé. Gumball Founder Maximillion Cooper and his wife Eve made an appearance and led the car parade at the front of Syon House.
A green ‘LaFerrari' owned by Jay Kay (singer Jamiroquai) an ideal toy for a space cowboy was one of the more rare Ferrari models featured.
Maserati celebrated their 100th anniversary at Salon Privé with a collection of new models the sporty Ghibli, classic Quattroporte and convertable GranCabrio.
As always, several superb vintage classics with body work and engines in pristine condition shared the limelight with contemporary supercars. For the first time, a Salon Privé sale took place in association with Silverstone Auctions.
Guests at Salon Prive viewed and purchased items from luxury retail brands such as Boodles fine jewellery and Gatineau beauty products/treatments whilst enjoying the hospitality experience.
Highlight of the day was viewing the People's Choice Awards Presentation and Finale Supercar parade. Crowds gathered to watch supercars driven by private owners and company representatives some of whom received awards.
Next year will be the 10th edition of Salon Privé which we look forward to.

Poem - An Outstanding Auto Show
There's something pleasing at Salon Privé,
Seeing vintage, supercars sont arrivés.
Fantastic cars all shapes and sizes
Gleaming models winning prizes.
Such a delight for guests to see
Wandering excitedly from lunch to tea
Or, enjoying a glass of Pommery.
Stands with prestige brands featured too
Trips on jet planes to glistening bijoux.
All this and much more at Salon Privé
Thanks to David & Andrew for a great day.
