MONTEREY CAR WEEK

9-18 AUGUST

Probably the world’s foremost celebration of classic cars, Monterey Car

Week is now so big that it sprawls beyond the Californian city and lasts for

10 days. Kicking off with a show in downtown Monterey, it then takes in a

series of races at the famous Laguna Seca circuit, a tour along the Pacific

coast, a massive automobilia show, the glitzy Quail concours, Concorso

Italianio and several huge auctions. It peaks, in style, at the Pebble Beach

Concours d’Elegance on the final day – a fitting end to a wonderful week.

INTERNATIONAL

MINI MEETING

8-12 AUGUST

There’s no shortage of Mini-focused

events this year – the National Metro

& Mini Show at the British Motor

Museum on 4 August is also worthy

of mention – but the IMM is our pick.

It only comes to the UK once every

five years, and the fact that this visit

coincides with the diminutive icon’s

60th is perfect timing. A festival in

every sense, with live music all four

days, it takes place at Washingpool

Farm near Bristol. With nearly 300

clubs in attendance, there’s sure to

be plenty of cars to enjoy, too.

SALON PRIVÉ

5-8 SEPTEMBER

Now firmly established as one of

the UK’s top concours, Salon Privé

has been expanded to four days

this year, with a cheaper public day

closing proceedings. In addition to

the competition there are driving

tours and exclusive hypercar

debuts, plus enough luxury brands

that you might think you’ve

wandered into a Harrods summer

party. With a special Bentley

tribute forming the centrepiece

and with the stunning Blenheim

Palace as the backdrop, it

promises to be quite a show.
