In a short time, Salon Privé has established itself not only as a leading international automotive event, attended by the most prestigious premium and bespoke manufacturers from around the world, but also a social occasion that rivals the very best. Whilst it retains the ambience, convivial atmosphere and exquisite hospitality that it has always been so renowned for, it is a continually evolving event which has become internationally recognised on the automotive scene. Originally a stand-alone Supercar Show, it is now also a world-class Concours d’Elégance, not to mention an all-encompassing, full-hospitality, luxury lifestyle event. Salon Privé will thus comprise of: • The British Supercar Show • Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance (pre-1976) • The Salon Privé Sale • ‘Speed & Style’ Supercar Competition (1976 to modern day) • Hypercar Collection • Concepts & Prototypes Display • EFG Art Fair • Luxury Brands Village Moving to Blenheim Palace presents Salon Privé and its partners with a long-term opportunity to further develop, enhance and refine our already spectacular event and the stage is set for what promises to be a sensational tenth edition. 08 Blenheim Pal ac e History Blenheim Palace is a spectacular Stately Home situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, and was a gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to the 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. It remains the principal residence of the Duke of Marlborough and it is the only non-royal, non-episcopal, Stately Home in England to hold the title of ‘Palace’. One of England’s largest houses, it was built between 1705 and 1722 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was designed by the famous architect Sir John Vanbrugh in the rare English Baroque style and is surrounded by over 2,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped Parkland and stunning Formal Gardens which represent a perfect example of the English landscape garden movement and style. Famed as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace is one of the country’s finest and most spectacular Stately Homes and currently home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Fa c ilities The South Lawn of Blenheim Palace provides the perfect setting for the newly configured Salon Privé. Allowing the event to be fully enclosed and private whilst the Palace and Formal Gardens remain open to the general public, clearly demonstrates the flexibility of the venue. Visitor access to the event area is a short walk via the Snake gate which connects directly with the parking area. A separate entrance is available for speedy and efficient set-up and dismantle. Accessibilit y Blenheim Palace is situated in the picturesque and historic town of Woodstock, 8 miles North West of Oxford on the A44 Evesham Road, approximately one hour’s drive from both London and Birmingham. Stratford-upon-Avon is only 45 minutes away and locations such as Manchester and Leeds now become easily accessible. Approaching Oxford on the M40, exit at junction 9 and follow signs to Blenheim Palace. From other directions take the A44 exit from the Oxford by-pass. There is unlimited free car parking at the venue. The nearest main line train station is Oxford which is approximately 20 minutes away and shuttles will be available to take exhibitors and guests to and from the event. For those attending from further afield, there is the option of arriving by helicopter or indeed private jet with Oxford Airport and the smaller private airport 5 minutes away, making the event more accessible for both UK and overseas guests than ever before. Lo ca l A menities Salon Privé is set to become a destination event; an event to which people drive and should they wish, stay overnight in 1 of the 40 plus local hotels. Historic Woodstock, with its beautiful boutique shops, restaurants and hotels, sits alongside Blenheim Palace and is just a short walk from the event.

Salon Privé is a motor show unlike any other in the UK thanks to its focus on the premium end of the automotive market, attracting over 5,000 HNW collectors, buyers and enthusiasts over the event. It is also an upmarket Garden Party as well as a boutique luxury lifestyle event, delivering a uniquely exclusive experience for both exhibitors and visitors and as a result, it is a highly cost and time-effective route to your target audience. Raising brand awareness and selling product are the two key objectives of most brands and in both cases, Salon Privé excels. The event offers a tremendous networking / cross promotional platform – whether meeting new prospective customers or entertaining existing clients and partners, Salon Privé delivers on all levels. No automotive event offers the level of hospitality and service that we do and no event will make your guests feel as special either. Without the crowds and queues normally associated with motor shows, the atmosphere is exclusive, unobtrusive, relaxing and entirely conducive to spending quality time with guests interested in your brand and products. Furthermore, as a ‘moving’ motor show, the excellent local road network makes it ideal for test drive and demonstration opportunities and all clients are invited to make full use of this. 14 Who E xh i bits?

The exhibitor and sponsor packages include varying quantities of full hospitality tickets with which to entertain customers and given that only premium brands attend Salon Privé, the customers are naturally affluent. With automotive and luxury brands participating, the event provides exhibitors and sponsors with a unique cross promotional opportunity. The Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance now ranks in the top three classic car events in the world and attracts wealthy classic car collectors, owners and enthusiasts not only from the UK but from around the world. Corporate Hospitality is a key contributor to the visitor profile with a number of private banks, insurance brokers, law firms, accountancy and property-related companies regularly entertaining their top clients at the event. Guests can also purchase individual, non-reserved seating tickets which range from £95.00 ex VAT for Saturday to £270.00 ex VAT for a fully inclusive ticket on Thursday.

As a result, the event will naturally expand, attracting more exhibitors, sponsors and guests and become even more prominent on the national as well as international stage. The move will require a highly focused and sustained PR & Marketing campaign to maximise the opportunity and attract as many guests as possible and for this task, we have appointed TORQUE PR as our media and communications agency. TORQUE PR is a highly experienced agency that has worked with the best brands, across the automotive and luxury goods sectors, mixing digital content creation and social media expertise, with live events and media relations.

Key benefits and opportunities for the new event include: • Wider exposure: no longer just a London-centric event, Salon Privé will now be as easily accessible to visitors from Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. • Increased visitor attendance: the wider catchment area and the revised format, to include a Saturday, will certainly result in significantly increased visitor numbers. With previous event figures consistently up each year, Salon Privé has the recognition and reputation to continue expanding, while continuing to deliver quality • Travel options: Blenheim Palace is served by an excellent road network from all directions and parking is readily available at the venue. Fast trains from London to Oxford, which is 8 miles away, take just 50 minutes and a private airfield, 5 minutes away, can receive helicopters as well as private jets. • A destination event: an event to which guests can drive, perhaps extending their visit with an overnight stay in one of the charming local hotels in Woodstock and a weekend in historic Oxford. • Test-drive: the local road network around Blenheim Palace offers excellent test-drive opportunities. • Increased Dealer participation: With Centres and Dealerships throughout London, South East, the Midlands and the North, the majority of brands will have considerably greater opportunity to involve their network, who in turn, can use the event to entertain customers. • Visitor Experience: In addition to the supercars, luxury brands and hospitality, guests can also enjoy the spectacular Parkland and Formal Gardens of Blenheim Palace. Tickets can also be purchased for guided Tours inside the Palace. 22 Di sp l ay Op tions Salon Privé is a boutique, white picket fence Garden Party in which all of the exhibits are openly displayed and therefore highly visible as well as fully accessible.
