Now in its 4th year, Salon Privé is an exclusive celebration of the collector car hobby, bringing together some of the world’s finest and rarest historic cars with its most discerning collectors.
“RM Auctions is delighted to be returning to Salon Privé again this year as an event sponsor and look forward to welcoming motoring enthusiasts to the event for what is set to be another wonderful celebration of the hobby,” says Max Girardo, Managing Director of RM Europe.
“The event provides a perfect platform for us to preview our upcoming Automobiles of London event in October – another must attend event on the UK’s annual collector car calendar – and we invite collectors to visit our exhibit during Salon Privé to learn more about this year’s sale and meet our London team” he adds.
RM’s Salon Privé exhibit will showcase two star attractions of the upcoming London auction - a very rare 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I ‘Jarvis Torpedo’, chassis no. 17EX, one of only three experimental chassis produced by the company at the time, along with a historic 1950 Aston Martin DB2 Team Car ‘VMF 64’, which boasts both Le Mans and Mille Miglia provenance. The latter is widely regarded as the most successful of the three early Team DB2 Sports Saloons and its upcoming auction marks the first time it has come to market in 53 years. In addition to being on display as part of the RM exhibit, the historic VMF 64 will also be entered into the ‘Le Mans’ category of the Concours d’Elegance.
Beyond the exhibit, RM’s participation in the event includes sponsorship of the ‘Grand Routier: The style & panache of the `30s and `40s’ class in the concours event, whilst Max Girardo, Managing Director of RM Europe, will lend his extensive experience and knowledge of collectors cars as a concours judge. A number of RM’s expert team of car specialists will also be on hand to offer enthusiasts a resource for auction and restoration services.
