Salon Prive

I got asked last mnute notice to work at Salon Prive last week, so whilst there thought a few of you may enjoy seeing some of the Exotica on display. If you havent heard of the show then here is their websitte http://www.salonprivelondon.com/.

I took a load of images on the second day that I still need to go through but here are a few I have picked out so far. Highlight was a Ferrari P4 firing up. As the owner said when the ringing in the ears stopped eventually... " If I was a galon of fuel then that is where I would want to go". The Aston One-77 also sounded nice and looked a lot better in the flesh than images I have seen. Shame it wasnt really designed to drive, and is an obvious collectors piece once you see it for real.

Anyway, here are a few pics to start. I can update with more later if there is interest. It is the details that really took my interest so they are mainly the ones I have included.

Aston One-77. Nice iside too. Too wide and the interior is not designed to last

69 Charger Fuel cap (gorgeous car belonging to Jay Kay, but this is the best bit)

Caparo Exhaust. ( Aweful paint that took ges to clean up in the photo, but I am sure you forget about that when inside). This car is also now built the Clubs home of Norfolk.

Love the Aspid, those BMW wheels are real marmite wheels though.

last 4 for tonight:

The new Morgan prototype (my size 6 girlfriend was the only one that could fit in the seats so they still have some work to do. Nice looking once you get past the headlights though)

1928 Rolls Royce Phantom Torpedo detail:

Outside the reception to the club, a warm welcome:

And a good start as you get past the gate too:

Excellent photos, makes any I take look very poor,

Really love the DBR1 pic, looks almost like a toy sitting there.

Who's making the Caparo these days Rob?

Looks like a superb day out. An especially nice touch you ringing me on the day, telling me how much fun you'd had, how the champagne and lobster was!
