This Historic Royal Palace situated on the Thames last hosted the Concours of Elegance in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>From Friday the 1st of September through to Sunday the 3rd of September, sixty automobiles will gather in the Fountain Gardens on the east side of the historic Hampton Court Palace for the Concours of Elegance. Full details of the cars set for the event will be announced in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The Concours of Elegance remains unique in the UK as the only automotive event to be held at a royal venue each year, with 2017 marking the show&#8217;s sixth year of automotive gatherings. The event was previously held at <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/windsor-castle-concours-elegance-2016-report-photos\/\">Windsor Castle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/st-jamess-concours-2013-tour-and-preparation-gallery\/\">St James\u2019s Palace<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/concours-of-elegance-uk-2015-report-and-photos\/\">Palace of Holyroodhouse<\/a>, and, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/hampton-court-palace-concours-2014-report-photos\/\">Hampton Court Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent is the Concours of Elegance\u2019s Patron, and serves as Chief Judge in the Royal Automobile Club&#8217;s Trophy. Bringing together the \u2018best of the best\u2019 of the UK\u2019s car club scene, the Club Trophy winner is granted automatic entry in to the following year\u2019s Concours of Elegance selection of 60 cars. The 2016 winner, a 1923 Aston Martin Clover Leaf, will be entered into the main Concours at Hampton Court Palace.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its royal palace location, the annual Concours of Elegance differs in other ways from a traditional Concours, whereby the judging is conducted entirely and exclusively by the owners of the vehicles entered, not by a formal judging panel. The Concours of Elegance organisers maintain that if a car has been invited to participate, it is already a winner, with each vehicle owner given one vote for another car in the Concours that they consider the most elegant. The car with the most votes receives the stunning Concours of Elegance Pullman Trophy and is named Best in Show.<\/p>\n<p>As with every Concours of Elegance event to date, the 2017 running is focused on raising money for charity. Last year\u2019s event at Windsor Castle raised in excess of \u00a3250,000, and the total raised since the Concours began in 2012 has now surpassed \u00a31 million.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.concoursofelegance.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ConcoursofElegance.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Concours of Elegance]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2017 edition of the Concours of Elegance will return to the grounds of Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII&#8217;s riverside retreat in Greater London.
