A collection of hypercars including the Koenigsegg Agera One:1, Pagani Huayra, LaFerrari and McLaren P1 will star at the Salon Privé event in west London next month.
The cars will take pride of place on the Friday of the three-day festival of premium motoring, which takes place from 3-5 September at Syon Park in west London.
The day has been named the British Supercar Show, and will feature a parade of modern and classic cars and motorcycles around the perimeter roads of Salon Privé’s venue, Syon Park in west London.
The event also includes the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elegance (on Wednesday), Boodles Ladies’ Day and Salon Privé Sale (on Thursday) and a Royal College of Art ‘Concours of the Future’ design exhibition (also on Thursday). The EFG art and memorabilia fair and luxury retail village will be open over all three days.
Seventy classics will vie for the title of 'Best of Show' in the Concours d’Elégance.
Among the contenders will be a 1953 Delahaye 235MS coupé. The only example of the car to feature Chapron coachwork, it hasn't been seen in public for more than two decades and is entered in the 'Dramatic Coachwork' class at Salon Privé.
Another Concours exhibit is a 1931 Hispano-Suiza J12. Entered in the ‘Fit for a King’ category, which showcases cars from around the world with head of state or royal provenance, this car was originally created for the Vice President of Hispano-Suiza, Prince Charles Casimir Poniatowski.
A collection of road-going classic cars will go under the hammer at the Salon Privé Sale. The cars on sale include a rare 1971 Ferrari 365GTS/4 Daytona Spyder, estimated at between £1.75 and £2.25 million.
Also up for sale are pristine examples of the Ferrari F40 and F50, which are each expected to reach between £600,000 and £750,000, and a 1968 Lamborghini Miura.
Some special British models also feature, most notably a 1931 Bentley 4.5-Litre Blower. The example is number 25, the final car in the first batch of just 50 produced and its price is estimated at between £2.2-2.5m.
An Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Volante, one of only 38 produced and equipped with the preferred manual gearbox instead of the more common automatic transmission, is expected to go for between £820,000-920,000.

Key cars at Salon Privé
Abarth 695 Biposto
Intended to mark the 50th anniversary year of Carlo Abarth’s original 695, the 695 Biposto features a 187bhp 1.4-litre turbo engine, specialised performance accessories and running gear, and weighs just 997kg. In pursuit of class-leading pace from a sub-tonne car, Abarth has thinned down the doorskins, fitted polycarbonate side windows and a titanium roll cage, specified lightweight bucket seats by Sabelt and removed the rear bench altogether – hence the ‘biposto’ name.

Bad Colour
His La Ferrari should be thrown out for being such an awful colour, you wouldn't paint your Lambo that colour!

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks good in it, but I agree with your statement about the LaFerrari. If it had black wheels it would look a lot better with that colour. There are some red LaFerraris with black wheels and they look absolutely menacing.

Looks like a black Ka is trying to escape up through some Hot wheels monstrosity.
