Phew. It\u2019s a bit exciting to actually be able to go to a car show, isn\u2019t it? We\u2019d been getting some pretty serious withdrawal symptoms, having not been out of the house to gawp at shiny metal in a bona fide show environment since February. 2020 has, of course, kicked many leisure pursuits in the teeth for obvious reasons, and the slow trickle of shows returning to the calendar in late summer has been interesting to observe.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Obviously grand spectacles like the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival would have been impossible, you can\u2019t guarantee social distancing with those sorts of numbers crammed in, and it\u2019s been quite surreal to see Formula One races taking place in front of empty grandstands. One sub-genre of the car event sphere which has picked up fairly rapidly is the local meet, as small-scale events on village greens and seafront car parks have relatively low attendance and are easy to space out. And, of course, the high-end concours is something else which is able to return in its full glory. With events taking place in large, expansive grounds and strictly ticketed to limit numbers, they can flourish as they always have \u2013 and so it was with the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

This magnificent concours reflected the stellar successes of its runnings in previous years and, aside from the ingrained sense of heightened self-awareness we\u2019ve all developed this year when it comes to not getting too close to other people, it really did feel like a slice of normality. Well, as normal as it\u2019s possible to feel when surrounded by fancy classic cars in the garden of a royal palace. Attending this show felt like car shows should be \u2013 and, it has to be said, the virus had absolutely no effect on the quality and quantity of cars on display. So much so that it would be impossible to outline every one without waffling on for days\u2026 so instead, after much head-scratching and bickering, we\u2019ve distilled the whole event down to a top-ten of the coolest and most interesting exhibits. Stick the kettle on, and behold\u2026<\/p>\n

Leyat H\u00e9lica<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with a real oddball, because when this weird little poppet buzzed into the palace gardens it caused more than a few monocles to splash into champagne flutes. What you\u2019re looking at, essentially, is a wafer-thin plywood body, steered from the rear, with a whacking great propeller on the front \u2013 which, frankly, sounds like an utterly magnificent manner in which to seriously hurt yourself. It looks superbly demented, doesn\u2019t it? The story goes that Marcel Leyat, an engineer from south-eastern France, had started out building bespoke planes before concluding that there was little profit in it, so instead decided to repurpose his designs into \u2018wingless planes\u2019 \u2013 i.e. cars. The idea was that without a transmission, clutch or rear axle adding weight, it\u2019d be a very economical road car. The reality was that it\u2019s quite hard to see where you\u2019re going with a massive propeller in front of your face, and while rear-steering is OK for low-speed manoeuvring on airfields, it\u2019s not ideal in central Paris. Still, it looks completely brilliant.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Lamborghini Miura<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Any Lamborghini<\/a> Miura is a cool Miura. But a gold Miura? That\u2019s surely peak Miura.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting quirk of this concours event that in order to access it, you must first amble through the various courtyards of Hampton Court Palace. (And yes, it\u2019s allegedly possible to inadvertently wander off from your prescribed route and have a good look around the palace too, we couldn\u2019t possibly comment.) And this year, auction house Gooding & Company decided to capitalise on the visual majesty of it all by filling the first courtyard with a variety of treats from their \u2018Passion of a Lifetime\u2019 sale. The first car to greet visitors was this glorious gold Miura \u2013 one of only 150 SV models built, which means it\u2019s got the dry sump and the LSD and so on. It must have been quite a surprise for casual visitors who were just coming to see the palace and didn\u2019t know there was a car show on, and it evidently created a stir among the bidders too: with a reserve of \u00a31.2m-\u00a32m, it ended up selling for \u00a33,207,000. Crikey.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Land Rover Model 80<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Given the typical concours entrant\u2019s enthusiasm for aesthetic perfection, it\u2019s always nice to see an exhibit that\u2019s a bit ratty and rough-and-ready. Stealing the show for many here was the Land Rover<\/a> Model 80 \u2013 known in breathy whispers among marque aficionados as \u2018Production Number One\u2019. This landmark Landie was originally meant for King George VI, but was then assigned to a member of the model\u2019s core development programme. Its history saw it criss-crossing various owners through the decades; it ended up spending a fair few years crumbling away in a farmyard, before its historical significance was recognised and it could be saved. Over the last couple of years, it\u2019s been painstakingly and thoughtfully restored by Julian Shoolheifer Limited, retaining as much originality as possible. Amusingly, the car was brought along to the concours by Ineos Automotive, who were there to showcase their new not-a-Land-Rover Grenadier\u2026 Funnily enough, Production Number One rather overshadowed the new offering.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

McLaren F1 GTR<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always been a huge buzz around the McLaren<\/a> F1 \u2013 it\u2019s one of the finest cars ever created, that\u2019s just a solid gold fact. Arguably the last car of its kind to be developed with a completely no-compromise approach, it\u2019s as staggering today as it was in the mid-1990s. Of course, one of the most intriguing elements of the tale is that Gordon Murray never intended it to be a racing car, it was always meant to be a road-going grand tourer \u2013 the fact that it was all-conquering at Le Mans was merely a happy by-product of its owners wanting to go racing.<\/p>\n

The very idea of a road-legal GT dominating Le Sarthe among all the sports prototypes is absurd, and just goes to prove how great a car it truly is.<\/p>\n

This particular example is one of nine GTRs built for the 1995 season, which finished in fifth place at the Le Mans 24-hour. Resplendent in period race livery, it\u2019s been converted to full road spec, including re-tuning the suspension and refitting the passenger seats. Pleasingly, the owner drove it to the show from Chelsea, which must have turned a few heads on the Kings Road.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Ferrari 250 GTO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

The godfather of all homologation specials, the Ferrari<\/a> 250 Gran Turismo Omologato is widely regarded for its impressive boast of being the most valuable car in the world \u2013 you\u2019ll need well in excess of \u00a340m to join this exclusive club, as just 39 were made and they\u2019re all jealously guarded and very much sought-after.<\/p>\n

So all GTOs are supremely special, but this one is perhaps the most special of all. Chassis number 3387GT was, in fact, the factory\u2019s original test-bed, and features a number of unique accoutrements such as the riveted rear spoiler. After its development duties were done, the car passed to Luigi Chinetti Motors in New York, where it was race-prepared and became the first 250 GTO to officially compete \u2013 it came first-in-class at the Sebring 12-hours, then was sold to a new owner who entered it into the Le Mans 24-hours. An exciting and fascinating life, and these keen beginnings were followed up by many years of competition. In recent years, it\u2019s been restored to original factory specs by south London dealer and proud owner, Joe Macari.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Lotus Evija<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a polarising thing. If you\u2019re the sort of purist who feels that the very essence of the added-lightness Lotus<\/a> ethos resides in a sylph-like Elan or featherweight Elise, the idea of a 1,680kg goliath wearing Chapman\u2019s iconic nomenclature may stick in the craw. But try to forget about the weight \u2013 it\u2019s the power-to-weight that\u2019s crucial here. This mould-breaking hypercar is an EV, powered by four electric motors, one in each wheel. Peak power is an eye-watering 1,970bhp (yes, you read that correctly), enabling a 0-62mph dash in well under 3 seconds, 0-186mph in under 9 seconds, and a top whack comfortably beyond 200mph. We\u2019re looking at a full carbon chassis, magnesium wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, the works. And no, you don\u2019t have to get it in 1980s British Telecom Yellow.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Williams FW15C<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Williams fans are having an emotional time of it this year, with the Monza GP on September 8th being Claire Williams\u2019 last race as Team Principal, and thus the last outing for the team as a family-run unit. So the feels were strong for seeing this particular race car, not least for the fact that most people who grew up in the 1980s and \u201990s will have a very special place in their heart for the Canon-liveried V10 hot-shot. This was a technological powerhouse, with ground-breaking features like ABS, traction control, a semi-auto gearbox and active aero. The infamous \u2018push-to-pass\u2019 button instantly lowered the suspension and increased the rev limit, a smart trick which saw driver aids being outlawed for the following season.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

This car, chassis no.02, was Damon Hill\u2019s steed, the one that took him to victory in his first three races, along with providing many other podium finishes. If you didn\u2019t have the Scalextric model of this car, you most likely had a poster of it on the wall. A true icon.<\/p>\n

Facel Vega II<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Facel Vega<\/a> fans were treated to a handful of these sumptuous retro curiosities at the concours. And while purists may gravitate toward the HK500, it\u2019s this outstanding Vega II that won the day for us. The fabulously detailed eat-your-dinner-off-it motor is the larger of the engine options available, being a 6.7-litre Chrysler V8 offering 390bhp, and we just can\u2019t take our eyes off that Rolls-Royce Peacock Blue paint.<\/p>\n

This really is a remarkable restoration. The Vega II sat unloved in a garage from 1967-97, the structure actually collapsing around the car, before being rescued and fastidiously reimagined. After years of neglect, it\u2019s been lovingly cherished and pampered since it was exhumed, and it shows. Every inch of this car is sublime. It\u2019s right at the top of our lottery wishlist.<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Rothmans Porsche 911<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often the case with car shows that the coolest machines are found in the public car parks, and this event was no exception. As we were leaving, we all but tripped over our jawbones when we spotted this 991-generation Porsche<\/a> 911 parked under the trees. Splendid, isn\u2019t it? Some ingenious character has reworked it in the image of the early-1980s Rothmans Paris-Dakar 953. And it\u2019s not just a bit of cosmetic tomfoolery \u2013 based on a 997.1 Carrera 4 GTS, it\u2019s got custom lifted suspension, custom wheels, underbody shields, a widebody kit for a wider track, all manner of LED spotlights, and a hardcore winch. It gets used properly too \u2013 check out @thecaraba on Instagram to see it sliding around on frozen lakes\u2026<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Aston Martin Victor<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Surprise show debuts have largely become a thing of the past thanks to the immediacy of social media \u2013 it\u2019s really hard to keep secrets these days, everything leaks out. So it was truly refreshing to see the boxfresh Aston Martin<\/a> Victor being unveiled. And what a magnificent machine it is! Featuring choice chassis elements from the jewel-like One-77, this car takes the essence of the unhinged Valkyrie hypercar and reimagines it as a svelte and dapper road-going GT. That manic 7.3-litre V12 is here in an 836bhp state of tune, brilliantly mated to a manual gearbox, and the full-carbon bodywork calls to mind the brutal muscle-car styling of the 1990s Virage. The interior is sumptuously trimmed in Bridge of Weir leather and cashmere, but the thunderous noises never let you forget that this is essentially a carbon-tubbed race car. It\u2019s our new favourite Aston, by miles.<\/p>\n
