St James’s International Concours

Marlborough Road next to St James’s Palace, London

St James’s International Concours will have more than 115 pioneering vehicles on public display in Westminster as the perfect preview to the following day’s world-famous RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, with free admission to all those wishing to attend between 10:30 and 15:30.
 
While visitors will be able to savour these cherished cars up close and talk to many of the owners, a panel of expert judges will be deliberating over the displayed vehicles to determine the overall winner together with 7 special awards to acknowledge other standout entries on show. Categories include - overseas participants, provenance, and young drivers, as well as for those wearing appropriate period attire. Those adjudicating include TV personalities Alan Titchmarsh and Edd China, together with RM Sotheby’s and the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain.
 
Two of the automotive icons certain to catch the judges’ eyes will be the pair of movie star cars from the classic British film Genevieve. The much-loved comedy caper was released 70 years ago in 1953 and follows the adventures of two couples participating on the London to Brighton Run aboard a pair of veteran cars: a 1904 Darracq called Genevieve and a charismatic 1905 Spyker. To mark the film’s milestone anniversary, the Darracq and Spyker are being reunited on this year’s Veteran Car Run. 
 
Another key highlight for visitors to enjoy will be the presence of moving and storage experts Abels and their rather more traditional form of horsepower – a period pantechnicon drawn by shire horses.
