Lamborghini will celebrate its past and present at this year’s Salon Privé, with concours entries, a debut and supercar test-drives.

The UK’s most prestigious luxury supercar show, Salon Privé will run from September 1 to 3 at Blenheim Palace. It incorporates the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Élégance, Boodles Ladies’ Day and The Salon Privé Supercar Show, also showcasing The Pirelli Prestige & Performance Competition, the EFG Art and Memorabilia Fair and The Salon Privé Sale. 

At the event, Lamborghini PoloStorico, the Italian marque’s heritage division, will be celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the Lamborghini Miura, universally regarded as the first supercar. 

With its own class in the prestigious Concours d’Elégance, ‘50 Years of the Lamborghini Miura’ will see over ten of the world’s best examples entered into the Miura-only category, with two making their way from the US in order to compete.

PoloStorico division will display the iconic one-of-one Lamborghini Miura Roadster, which will take pride of place on the lawns of Blenheim Palace.

Also on display as part of the Miura class is the original Miura SV shown at Geneva Motor Show in 1971, following its recent comprehensive restoration by Lamborghini PoloStorico. 

The pre-production model was originally built with parts of the Miura S, but incorporated pioneering features that would be seen on later SVs.

Not to be outdone, the Pirelli-backed Prestige & Performance Competition on September 3 has its own Diablo-only class, ‘The Diablo Tribute’, where a 2000 6.0 VT Final Edition will battle it out in the modern-day concours against nine other entrants, including chassis number 001 SVR, the first of just 31 racing versions produced, a limited-edition SE30 30^th anniversary model and also a VT Roadster.

Also, the Lamborghini Centenario will make its UK public debut.

Throughout the event, Lamborghini’s Birmingham dealership will manage guests’ test drives in the rear-wheel drive Lamborghini Huracán and its four-wheel drive equivalent, as well as the Spyder version. 

The 15-mile test-drive opportunity is part of Salon Privé’s ‘see it, test it, drive it’ experience and Salon Privé is the only event of its type that allows its guests to drive cars on the public road in the UK.
