The latest entries include legendary models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and AC.

@Lamborghini Miura P400

Simon Drabble Cars will show a headline-grabbing 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 which has been upgraded to S specification. It is just the 23rd Miura ever built, finished in the classic combination of Rosso Miura over Nero Fintapelle. It came to the UK in 2013, took part in 2016’s 50th Anniversary Miura Tour in Spain, and in 2020 was added to the collection of a noted collector and Lamborghini VIP client.

For those who prefer an open-top British classic, The Classic Motor Hub will be featuring a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Convertible, one of just 123 drop-top DB5s to leave the Newport Pagnell factory. Its first owner was high-end shirtmaker Lionel Frank, whose clients fittingly included three James Bond actors: Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moore.

Barkaways will showcase an immaculate 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB that’s covered a mere 17,857km (just over 11,000 miles). The second owner purchased the car, imported it to the UK and commissioned Barkaways for a full restoration in 2014. Upon completion, the Rosso Chiaro car was used as one of the promotional models for Salon Privé Blenheim in 2015 – where it won an award at the Concours event.

A stunning AC Cobra Lightweight will be exhibited by Hendon Way Motors, one of just 44 original and correct lightweights produced. The super-rare 1991 car was built by AutoKraft, the British company that manufactured genuine and fully-licenced AC-badged sports cars throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

@Norton Motorcycles

2023 marks 125 years of Norton Motorcycles: A British marque with a legendary racing heritage, the inventors of the famous featherbed frame, and a style icon through the decades. Now, Norton is back and shaking up the scene of two-wheels, pushing innovation, artistry and craftsmanship at the heart of everything they do. These world-class motorcycles will soon meet the world of luxury cars at Salon Privé London show from the 20th to 22nd April.
