On Wednesday 5th September 30 prestige cars and motorbikes will take part in a 21-mile tour of London to mark the opening of this year's Salon Privé Supercar and Concours d'Elégance Show. The Tour d'Elégance will begin in Woodcote Park in Epsom and finish at the show's venue - Syon Park in West London. The vehicles commissioned for the tour are taken from the Concours show itself, although the final line-up will be confirmed later this month.

Spectators can watch the opening ceremony from various points along the route, including Epsom Racecourse, Richmond Park and Richmond Bridge.

Now into its seventh year, the show is regarded as the UK's most popular and prestigious Supercar and Concours d'Elegance event; with visitors comparing it to the likes of the US's Pebble Beach and Italy's Villa d'Este.

The Salon Privé Show runs in London from 5th-7th September. Entry tickets give full access to all areas of the show; and also include Pommery champagne, a lobster lunch and English afternoon tea. Tickets are available now by visiting the website www.salonprivelondon.com.
