Salon Privé returned to the Royal Hospital Chelsea in April 2026 after a year’s postponement, and a 1970 Monteverdi 375L took the Prix d’Honneur at its Concours de Vente.
Salon Privé brought its spring motoring show back to the lawns of the Royal Hospital Chelsea from Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 April 2026. The house also runs a concours d’elegance at Blenheim Palace at the end of each summer.
Salon Privé was founded in 2005, and its chairman and co-founder Andrew Bagley still leads it. The London show was added as a second flagship in the capital. In 2024 it paid tribute to the Porsche 911 Turbo and gathered a world-record number of Aston Martin Valkyries.
The 2025 show, which would have been the fourth, was postponed for market conditions and a lack of exhibitor appetite. Its tickets were refunded or rolled forward.
The fourth edition drew more than 18,000 guests over three days. Koenigsegg, Aston Martin and Analogue Automotive were among the marques showing hypercars and new builds.
The Concours de Vente judged 80 cars from more than 30 classic dealers, all for sale. A 1970 Monteverdi 375L from Alan Carrington Classic Cars took the Prix d’Honneur. The In-Pensioners chose a 1949 Jaguar XK120 for their Pensioners’ Trophy, and visitors voted a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Competizione their favourite.
