Hosted right here in our backyard from Sept. 7-9 at the Radnor Hunt Club, The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance debuted in 1997 and is an invitation-only event that assembles 100 of the most interesting and significant automobiles based on a featured automobile marque, vehicle type, or coachbuilder and motorcycle marque or class each year.
“This year’s event will feature the elegance and sport of Rolls Royce and Bentley, the style and power of European Style/American Power, and Fastbacks,” said Michael G. Tillson III, chairman of The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance. “We also have an outstanding motorcycle field planned with the Indian, Italian motorcycles and Superbikes classes.
“The 2018 event is our 22nd event and our 12th consecutive year that we will have a display of vintage horse-drawn coaches and carriages that illustrate the evolution of transportation, something no other Concours offers.”
The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance encompasses three days of activities beginning with the Friday evening Barbecue, followed by the always-popular Road Rally through the scenic countryside of Chester County on Saturday morning, culminating in a catered lunch at La Locanda.
Even if you can’t make the rally, be sure to stop in Saturday morning starting at 8 AM for the free Cars and Coffee event, where scores of local exotic and classic cars will be on display.
The Saturday evening Black Tie Gala, Silent Auction, and Art Show Preview is the prelude to the main event on Sunday, the Concours d’Elegance.
The Sunday event also includes MotorSport Park, providing local car clubs the opportunity to gather in an exclusive parking area close to the show field entrance on Sunday, as well as the Cars and Coffee gathering on Saturday concurrent with the road rally.
The Marketplace area features a variety of both automotive and non-automotive merchants, and offers specialized shopping for Concours attendees, where every member of the family can find something they like.
Tickets for all activities are available here.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Thorncroft Equestrian Center in Malvern. The Thorncroft Equestrian Center is committed to a mainstreaming approach for teaching horseback riding and to promoting the development of new and independent therapeutic riding programs, particularly for those with special needs.
