Classic car fans 'inspired by Salon Prive spectacle'

The Salon Prive event is billed as the most glamorous boutique motor show in London and this year, appeared to capture the imagination of classic car seekers across the UK.

According to the organisers, the three dates for the showpiece were either sold out or virtually fully booked.

It featured a selection of vintage models that were a sight to behold for many driving enthusiasts.

For instance, Simon Kidston's Panther 6 display of pre-war Bugattis might fit the bill, with editions such as the Type 46 Profilee perhaps providing a sight to behold.

Elsewhere, 2010's artwork for the extravaganza was commissioned from illustrator Brian James.

The festivities raised more than £150,000 for causes such as The Rainbow Trust Children's Charity and The Prince's Trust.

In addition, the amount of paying guests went up by 50 per cent when compared with the year before, which may underline the growing popularity of niche automotives.
