London Concours: A Celebration of Automotive Excellence
The London Concours is an annual automotive garden party taking place right in the heart of the City of London. It is a fantastic opportunity to see the world’s finest cars in a private, intimate setting. This year, there will be 80 of the most eminent vehicles present, with displays specially curated and themed by the London Concours Steering Committee.
Over the course of the three days, there will be entertainment on the lawns at the Honourable Artillery Company Headquarters, plenty of luxury brands and artisan goods showcased, and a wonderful selection of food and beverages to enjoy. All in all, this is a terrific celebration of the automotive industry; a must-attend event for any enthusiast.
What is This Year’s Line Up?
At this year’s event, there is an amazing line up packed with icons from the automotive world. Notable displays include a celebration of 60 years of Lamborghini, which will look back through recent history at some of the best supercars from this famed carmaker such as the Diablo, Aventador and Reventon.
Elsewhere at the event, there will be a celebration of Land Rover, looking at the cars that made this carmaker the global luxury powerhouse it is today. Cars on show in this display encompass everything from a 1948 Land Rover Pre Pro L07 and 1954 Land Rover Balmoral 86 to a 2016 Land Rover Defender. This is a splendid chance to see the history of Land Rover up-close-and-personal.
Why are Classics Like the Defender So Popular?
As the London Concours event shows every single year, the appeal of classic cars has never waned and still remains as strong as ever. There is a timeless appeal of buying and owning a classic car like the Land Rover Defender, a true British icon on and off-the-road, and this is for many reasons.
First of all, there is a sense of nostalgia with classic cars like the Defender. These vehicles exude nostalgia and embody timeless design elements, with distinct aesthetics and iconic shapes that have stood the test of time. Quite simply, there is nothing similar to the inimitable Defender, so this makes them extremely desirable amongst enthusiasts and collectors.
Owning a classic car allows you to have your own personal piece of automotive history, as well as, individually appreciate the artistry and magic of one of the industry’s greatest creations. Classics provide a unique driving experience that cannot be matched by a modern vehicle.
The Defender, for example, is a pure off-roader, capable in any environment – no matter how challenging or unforgiving. Therefore, it offers a unique and immersive experience, a throwback to driving many decades ago. You will be able to go off-road and explore remote areas, enjoying a more hands-on driving experience that you won’t have had before.
Lastly, there is also an investment potential with a classic Defender. Adored and renowned all over the world, the Defender, if well-maintained and restored, is a very sound investment. Over time, it can appreciate in value, and should you wish to sell your vehicle, you may be able to achieve favorable financial returns. The rarity of classic Defenders makes them appealing as an investment.
