1929 Mercedes S-Type Barker Tourer 'Boat Tail'This unique car will be appearing in the UK for the first time since 1958, when it was under the ownership of British Racing Drivers' Club co-founder Earl Howe. This car was fitted with a revolutionary body which incorporated a lightweight and aerodynamic shell with unique aircraft-inspired aluminium side pods crafted by English coachbuilders Barker. 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Brewster 'Golden Riviera' All Rolls-Royces are special, but some are totally unique. This example may be one of ten Riviera Phantom I cars built, but it's the only example specified by its owner with gold-plated exterior trim as far as the eye could see. Bought by Irene Schoelkopf Carman in 1929, it also comes fitted with a few of her other 'optional extras', including a Dunhill lighter, an intercom for communicating with the driver and a mirror pad. 1954 Jaguar XK120 Pininfarina This Jaguar XK120 is unique, in being the only one ever to be bodied by Pininfarina. In 1954 it went straight from the Jaguar factory in Coventry to Italy to have its beautiful bodywork applied, before being shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1955. This car was very recently the subject of a 6750-hour nut-and-bolt restoration by Classic Motor Cars to bring it back to exactly how it left Pininfarina in the '50s. 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC by Scaglietti Named after the FIA 'C' racing regulations to which it was built to comply, this 500 TRC, or 'Testa Rossa C', is one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever built. This particular example is the last TRC produced, and the last ever four-cylinder car Ferrari made. It also comes complete with an impressive race history, including class wins at both the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans. 1992 Jaguar XJ220 Jaguar's first 200mph car, the XJ220, still looks like nothing else on the road. Initially designed with a V12 and all-wheel-drive, it was eventually delivered with a twin-turbo V6 and rear-wheel-drive – but performance was still exhilarating. In fact, the XJ220 was the fastest car in the world, setting a speed of 212.3mph at the Nardo test track. Only 281 were ever built. Concours of Elegance Director, Andrew Evans, said: 'The Concours of Elegance is well-known for the calibre of cars on display, and I'm pleased to say that 2018's line-up is yet another world-class collection. A number of cars in the Concours are complete one-offs, many have never been seen in the UK in a generation, and all of them tell an incredible story. They're the perfect focus of a weekend that will include around a thousand cars in total, a collection of luxury brands – including watchmakers A. Lange & Sohne – and a range of fine hospitality options within the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace.' Concours of Elegance is working in conjunction with a number of organisations to offer bespoke experiences for visitors, including the Octane Tour, held on Sunday. To join the Octane Tour contact iain@thoroughevents.co.uk. The Concours has also partnered with Tom's Kitchen – founded by Tom Aikens – to offer new deli picnics for visitors. Presented in individual jute bags, the picnics will include a substantial chicken or vegetarian main course plus salads with a generous cheese and fruit box and a delicious strawberry and white chocolate dessert.
