London, 2 September, 2016

Friday Windsor Castle opened its gates to some of the world’s rarest and most incredible cars as the Owners Day of Concours of Elegance 2016 got underway. Running for the remainder of the weekend, this year’s Concours sees more than 1000 cars gather in one of the UK’s most incredible Royal Palaces.

This morning saw the arrival of 60 of the world’s finest cars competing in the prestigious Concours of Elegance, as they completed the final leg of the Great West Tour from Guards Polo Club to the picturesque castle quadrangle – led by His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent.

Guests to the first day of the event were treated to a world-first with a feature comprised of cars from the grid of the inaugural British GP, which was held at Brooklands in 1926.

Continuing the patriotic celebrations, British motoring icons built in the 90 years since the Queen’s birth were also assembled in the breath-taking setting, covering everything from the Mini to the McLaren F1 and much more.

These features are just a small part of the Windsor Castle event which – at its heart – showcases sixty of the world’s rarest cars.

Concours of Elegance 2016 also features a free-to-view area on the Long Walk leading up to the Cambridge Gate of Windsor Castle, consisting of more than 800 models from the UK’s best car clubs, including the Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Jaguar and Bentley owners’ clubs.
