Concours events sit in a league of their own – across the globe, from the gorgeous manicured lawns of Pebble Beach, to the shade of the Burj Al-Arab, concours events are an extravagant affair. They allow owners to display their pride and joy for enthusiasts and fellow owners to ogle and drool over cars so rare that that they will be recorded in the history books for generations to come to look back upon. It\u2019s not just the United States or United Arab Emirates, but, the United Kingdom too that hosts a plethora of events that draw international crowds draped in jewellery and their finest garments to fit in with the well heeled and famous.<\/p>\n
Me being me, I tend to rock up to such events in a pair of jeans, standard issue GTspirit.com polo and my hefty Nikon over my shoulder – I\u2019m here to work, not to sip champagne, sunbathe and saunter with the rich. This years Salon Prive Cours d\u2019Elegance was, however, a little different. I would not be rolling in my cute BMW, but a blindingly fast and desperately stunning McLaren 720S courtesy of my good friends based in Woking.<\/p>\n\r\n
