I joke that late August, early September is the time when I visit some of the great stately homes of England. Well, three actually. The first stately home of the trio, is actually a Palace.

Here are Jon’s favorites from his Non-Italian class this year at the Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace. And so goes the PR:

The 19th edition of Salon Privé, the UK’s leading luxury automotive and global Concours event, has been hailed a gargantuan success. On Saturday evening, the curtain fell on the most spectacular five days of new model debuts, stunning classic car rarities, a jaw-dropping Salon Privé Concours victor and the finest in world-class luxury lifestyle and entertainment.

Can’t argue with that!

Salon Privé took place at Blenheim Palace in the heart of the Cotswolds, September 23-26, 2020.

Whilst I only attend Salon Privé for one day, the event has evolved into much more than just a posh day out eating lobster, drinking champagne and looking at gorgeous cars.
