SUMMARY:Concours of Elegance 2015
DESCRIPTION:The Concours of Elegance 2015 will be held from 4th to 6th September 2015  at the exceptional Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh\nThe Concours of Elegance remains unique in the UK as the only automotive event to be held at a Royal venue each year \nWith the gracious permission of Her Majesty The Queen\, the 2015 Concours of Elegance will be held at the Royal Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh\, Scotland\, from 4th to 6th September\, with an exclusive driving tour of Scotland for Concours participants due to run ahead of the Scottish event from 2nd to 3rd September. \nWatch highlights from some of the Concours of Elegance events over the past few years in this video. \n\n  \nWhat to expect at the Concours of Elegance 2015\n60 of the rarest cars from around the world\, many never seen before in the UK\, will grace the spectacular grounds of Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse. These 60 cars will be joined by displays of hundreds of other fine motor cars from the most prestigious automobile manufacturers and car clubs in the UK\, with the latter competing for the highly prized Club Trophy with a special selection of Jaguars competing for the Jaguar Trophy. \nThe annual Concours of Elegance differs from a traditional concours event in that if a car has been invited to participate in the Concours event\, then it is already a winner.  Each vehicle owner gets the chance to vote on the other Concours car that he or she considers to be the most elegant. \nFrom 2-3 September 2015\, an exclusive driving tour of Scotland will take place\, culminating in the Royal mile \nImmediately ahead of the 2015 Concours of Elegance (2nd -3rd September 2015) an exclusive driving tour of Scotland will be offered to entrants\, culminating at the Palace of Holyroodhouse\, including a drive along the world-renowned Royal Mile. \n  \nBuying Tickets for the event\nThe 2015 Concours of Elegance at the Palace of Holyroodhouse will be open to the public on Saturday 5th September and Sunday 6th September\, with entry tickets and hospitality available to purchase strictly in advance. \nAdvance tickets are available to purchase from the Concours of Elegance website \n  \nClassic cars confirmed for concours of elegance 2015 – 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost\nConcours of Elegance has confirmed the world-beating line-up of cars\, including an original 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost London to Edinburgh car. \n1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost London to Edinburgh car \nThis car is one of six Rolls-Royce cars in the main Concours event.  This particular model was inspired by the Silver Ghost’s famous return journey from London to Edinburgh in top gear.  During the trip\, the Silver Ghost covered around 1600 miles using only its top gear\, carrying four passengers and luggage and achieving 24.3mpg. \nIt was this feat that helped cement a reputation for the Silver Ghost (and Rolls Royce) as ‘the best car in the world.’  Carphile article: Rolls Royce History \n  \n1949 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport\nThis 1949 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport is a one-off from by coachbuilders\, Franay. \n1949 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport \nThe company only produced bodywork for three T26 Grand Sports\,  with the remaining two being coupés.
