This was my third year attending the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court and it’s safe to say it’s become my favourite classic car event of the year now. The weather is always great, the variety and quality of cars is sensational, the setting is spectacular and quite simply all the best people come here!
This year I got to meet a childhood hero – the incredible Aston Martin Bulldog (now reborn) in person, got my first look at the brilliant Lotus Emira (and enjoyed a splendid lunch with the Lotus team) and found an unexpected star in the form of a hot-rodder classic Lancia Aurelia. Plus 95 British cars. Thanks so much to my buddy Reza Adil for all his help producing this content – see all our pics and videos:

A line-up of 95 of the finest British cars to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s 95th birthday, the selection of cars chosen by David Lillywhite, Editorial Director of Magneto magazine.

Absolutely loved the Lancia Aurelia B20GT ‘Outlaw’ hot-rod style Bracca-spec car, made by Thornley Kelham of the Cotswolds and displayed at the 2021 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace. At first glance it’s an American-inspired chop-top hot-road restomod, but in fact there’s a back-story that proves, this is how one car actually was back in the day. Check out the exquisite interior too! #BCGEvents

I loved this thing as a kid and had a picture on the wall. Here I interview Richard Gauntlett, son of former Aston boss Victor Gauntlett, he talks me around the car, demonstrates the gullwing doors and explains why this car is still so cool! #BCGEvents

He explains the importance of this car, the future plans for Lotus, how he worked his way up to the top job from an apprentice and why Lotus is now finally in safe hands. Plus I get my first chance to sit in the Emira, see if I fit and explore the huge step up in interior comfort and quality. #BCGEvents #BCGLotusEmira

On Saturday I attended my second Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court – and it was as glorious and spectacular as last year’s with a sensational turn out of cars and remarkably good attendance too, despite the Covid concerns.

I caught up with him at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court yesterday and asked him about Drivers Union. Find him at www.TheDriversUnion.com
This is the car many reckon will be the true spiritual successor to the veteran Land Rover Defender, a proper body-on-frame off-roader powered by BMW diesel and petrol engines and highly adaptable.
