We have a reputation for advising high net worth individuals, and owners of classic and high performance cars, on the tax advantages and implications of investing in such Investingvehicles.incars,

if structured correctly, can be extremely tax efficient as capital growth is free of Capital Gains Tax. However, where an investor is not domiciled in the UK, and wishes to structure more substantial inward investment into classic cars, this can be arranged so that the funding may not be treated as remittance of taxable foreign income or gains.

We have a wealth of experience assisting clients, whether they are a passive investor and collector of classic cars or an active trader or participator in the classic car or motorsport sector more generally.

Welcome...

...to Concours on Savile Row, where luxury car design and bespoke tailoring meet

ON BEHALF of The Pollen Estate, we would like to welcome you to the first-ever Concours on Savile Row event. We are delighted that you are here to experience the two worlds of bespoke tailoring and luxury automotive design that share so many parallels and historic partnerships.

Savile Row tailors have a longstanding relationship with the automotive industry, having created everything from driving suits and driving jackets to car interiors. What propels this relationship are the attributes that the collector car world and custom tailoring share: workmanship, beautiful design, high-quality materials, attention to detail and extremely discerning customers. Over the course of the two-day Concours on Savile Row, we will witness a wonderful showcase of craftsmanship that is at the heart of both industries.

We hope you enjoy this oneof-a-kind car collection and take a moment to wander inside the

tailoring houses and retailers to truly experience Savile Row and the craftspeople who make it so very special. Thank you for visiting Concours on Savile Row.

We would like to thank Hothouse Media, Westminster City Council, Savile Row Bespoke Association, New West End Company and all the participating manufacturers, sponsors, tailors and retailers. Without their support, this event would not be possible.

Welcome...

WE ARE delighted to welcome you to the very first Concours on Savile Row. We hope you like what you see.

The first idea to match a selection of the world’s greatest automobiles with the world’s greatest tailors on this world-famous road came about in 2019, after a chance conversation about connections between tailors and cars. A plan was hatched... Unfortunately, Covid had other plans, which put paid to two years of potential Concours. But, third time lucky, here we are.

You might ask why there are connections between tailors and cars. The common factor can be summarised in one word: ‘bespoke’. For well over 200 years, tailors here have created bespoke clothing for the most discerning individuals. And for more than 120 years, manufacturers and coachbuilders have made bespoke cars for those who wanted something di erent.

As the publisher of Magneto magazine, we are well acquainted with the world of collector cars, and we’ve always had an appreciation for the skills of tailors. The Concours has given us the chance to work with

them, along with The Pollen Estate and Westminster City Council. All have supported the event from the start, as have our sponsors and partners: RM Sotheby’s, FOPE, Hagerty and Chopard.

If you enjoy the event as much as we hope you will, then their hard work will have been worth it.

The art of bespoke

How the worlds of tailoring and luxury cars both use techniques honed over hundreds of years to produce the finest creations money can buy

MORE THAN ever before, the art of bespoke has become integral to the lives of many. We all want something that bit different, that bit special – and perfectly designed to our own unique needs. It could be furniture, it could be houses, it could be bicycles or, most pertinently for all of us at the Concours on Savile Row, it could be tailoring or cars...

It’s the former that has the longest history: from the Middle Ages until the advent of sewing machines at the end of the 18th century, clothes were made by hand, with tailors producing high-quality work that still stands up to scrutiny today. There was no such thing as mass-market, ready-to-wear clothing, so the less well-off relied upon hand-made secondhand items andByhand-me-downs.theVictorianera, tailoring was thriving worldwide – and nowhere

more so than in London, the so-called capital of the free world at the time. The city’s West End teemed with tailors, and although sewing-machine use became more widespread, much of the capacity for machine-made (but still labour-intensive) clothing was initially taken up by the manufacture of military uniforms.

By the late 19th century machinemade everyday clothes had become more available, but bespoke clothing continued to be the more desirable option well into the 20th century. Suits in particular were mostly handmade until the 1960s, when a technique known as fusing – using adhesive to bond the interlining to the outer material – became widespread in machine-made suits.

Initially, fusing would result in a stiffer, less fitted suit, but gradually the techniques improved, while the fashions of the 1960s and ’70s moved

further away from formal wear. It seemed as though tailoring was in trouble, and many great names were lost during the following decades.

The 2000s, though, have seen a great revival, as the demand for unique, high-quality, sustainable clothing and accessories for both men and women reach new levels. Over the past few years in particular, tailoring has seen a resurgence. Many tailors have introduced new materials and innovative ways of attracting fresh customers – even to the point of sending out measuring ‘robots’ to overseas clients during the pandemic lockdowns. Covid was tough on the bespoke industry, which generally requires face-to-face engagement, but it’s bouncing back in 2022.

The automotive world has followed a similar trajectory. When the motor car noisily announced its arrival in the late 1800s, hundreds of makers

Concours on Savile Row

sprang up, working from barns and backstreet workshops, producing extremely low numbers. Virtually every model was different, but within three decades cars became available to the masses, thanks to the likes of the Model T Ford and Austin Seven.

At the thoroughbred end of the market, though, most companies tended to sell a rolling chassis, to be topped by bodywork of the customer’s choice from any one of hundreds of coachbuilders around the world. Styles and prices varied wildly, and clients were able to take wild flights of fancy should they dare. The most

discerning of them would turn to the coachbuilders of mainland Europe, especially Italy and France. They might be paying over $5000 for the rolling chassis alone, 100 years ago; at least twice the price of a typical family house at the time. The bodywork and interior could easily cost much more than the chassis, particularly once the Art Deco era began to influence automotive style.

Later, as the auto makers adopted more modern types of construction after World War Two, so the coachbuilders began creating special versions of production cars – usually convertibles and coupés that factories weren’t equipped to cope with.

By the 1970s, however, largely thanks to new production methods that had originated in Japan, the major automotive manufacturers no longer needed to turn to outside coachbuilders. As a result, many old

names went out of business, with the rest surviving as design houses.

Fast forward into the 2020s, and the luxury car market is once again all about ‘bespoke’. Buyers can specify unique finishes and specs, and hypercars are being built not just in low volume but sometimes with special-order one-off bodies, often in carbonfibre or brand-new composites. The arrival of all-electric ‘platforms’ means there will be more of a chance than ever for unique bodywork to be created.

In both automotive and tailoring, customers are now able to get involved in the creative process; maybe throw in a few personal style references or make real a design that they’ve had in their head for years. It really is like a return to the early days of both worlds – only this time with more thought for ethics, sustainability and future-proofing.

17 Concours on Savile Row

THERE’S A long history of collaborations between the tailors of Savile Row and motor manufacturers, and the Concours on Savile Row will continue this tradition with several very special, all-new examples of cars, suits, shoes and jewellery.

Of all the well known recent collaborations between tailors and automotive marques, one of the most enduring is the ongoing tie-in between JP Hackett and Aston Martin. Hackett Aston Martin jackets in particular have been incredibly successful – and Hackett has even outfitted the Formula 1 team’s drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll.

Then there’s the lambswool jacket fabric created in 2020 by Henry Poole & Co to commemorate the Range Rover’s 50th anniversary. The fabric was inspired by the exterior colours of the original 1970 car: Tuscan Blue, Bahama Gold and Davos White,

which were also revisited for the limited-edition Range Rover Fifty. Last year also saw Norton & Sons produce a driving jacket for Lotus.

At the Concours, Cad & The Dandy will be creating a bespoke suit for the F1 and Le Mans 24 Hours legend Jacky Ickx, who will be attending the event representing timing partner Chopard. Look out for Jacky on the stage, speaking of his many racing exploits – including his infamous slow walk across the Le Mans track in 1969 in protest at the dangerous racing-start tradition.

Meanwhile, at Dege & Skinner, Morgan will be showing a special edition of its new Super 3 threewheeler, with the interior retrimmed by the tailor itself. The Super 3 was only released earlier this year yet has already attracted record orders, so this will be a rare chance to view one close-up – and the first chance to see the Dege & Skinner version.

Italian jewellery maker FOPE, a major sponsor of the Concours, has fashioned three limited-edition (and numbered) Savile Row versions of its Flex’it bracelets, from the FOPE Panorama range. They’ll be sold for between £6480 and £7660 each.

Several further Savile Row specialists will also be working with the automotive marques – including shoemaker Arthur Sleep, which is creating a special driving shoe for the Concours. Watch out for more!

The Association of Heritage Engineers

The Concours on Savile Row is as much about how the beautiful clothing and cars are created as it is about the end results, and within the tailors’ premises there will be plenty of demonstrations of how the suits are made.

To balance that, Savile Row will be home for the two days to the Association of Heritage

aspects of automotive and tailoring, while the instrumentation work links closely with the arts of horology and watchmaking.

SustainabilityonSavileRow

From materials to longevity to recyclability, the worlds of classic cars and fine tailoring are equally eco aware

THE ULTIMATE in product sustainability is long life – and that’s what both classic cars and Savile Row tailoring are all about.

The first of these examples is clear: it often takes as much energy to make a car in the first place as said vehicle uses in its lifetime, and then there are the raw materials to consider on top of that. So many classics will have been through periods during which they have been used rather than being scrapped and replaced by a newer model. And keeping them in the best condition is usually entrusted

to local craftsmen using age-old skills.

But tailoring? Perhaps it is not immediately obvious – until you consider that tailored suits are intended to last for generations, handed down from one to the next. Unlike fast-fashion items they are made to last, and are constructed in a way that allows the tailors to adjust them up to three sizes either way –allowing a Savile Row suit to be adapted to your changing body shape.

Just as importantly, the materials used are always sourced from recognised, ethical suppliers. The

tailoring process is usually local, in workshops either on the Savile Row premises or nearby, using skilled staff who are adept at the most efficient use of the cloth. Any leftovers tend to be donated to fashion schools, and most materials are recyclable anyway; many are also naturally sourced.

Even the tailoring process itself has a low carbon footprint, because so much of it is by hand. The majority of tailors make use of sewing machines only for areas that require extra reinforcement, with a typical example being just 20 minutes of sewing-machine use for a suit that takes 60 hours or more to create.

In both industries, the traditional skills required are being passed down to new generations via apprenticeship schemes and in-house training.

Speak with the tailors and with representatives of the Association of Heritage Engineers at the Concours to find out more on learning these crafts.

WestminsterCityLions

THE WESTMINSTER City Lions is the council’s fun and innovative scheme to help 1316-year-olds find out how to get involved in cultural and creative opportunities happening in the borough, working alongside parents, schools and local businesses.

At the Concours on Savile Row the City Lions will be meeting and spending time with the tailors, to learn about the many different roles and skills required, in order to give them an insight into the industry. In addition, the City Lions will not only be able to look around the classic cars but also experience how to judge them, thanks to the support of insurance specialist Hagerty’s Youth Judging Program. This was first introduced in 2007 and is now hosted at more than 100 classic car and boat events throughout the US, Canada and the UK.

Designed primarily for 8-14-yearolds, the Youth Judging Program is

intended to bring the world of classics to a fresh, younger audience. These new judges are guided through the show field as a group, to pre-selected show cars. They interact with owners, allowing the judges to learn details, history and facts about each entry. A score card that highlights five basic categories, rated on a scale of one to five, is used, which is supplied as part of a Youth Judging kit.

The City Lions will be guided around the Concours cars by Hagerty’s Dan Cogger and organiser David Lillywhite on the Thursday of the event. They will talk with the owners where available, and examine the classics along the way. With score cards marked, the Youth Judges’ winning car will be announced on the stage in the afternoon.

This is just one way in which the City Lions interact with local events. Past experiences have included film premières, live sports events and interactive workshops, with a real

emphasis on talking with the experts about starting a creative career. By joining City Lions, youngsters can gain exclusive access to Westminster’s most inspiring cultural organisations, and get the chance to boost their CVs by taking part in talks, workshops and work placements with some of the biggest names in the creative industries.

To find out how to get involved, whether you are a pupil, a teacher or involved in a local business or organisation, visit www.citylions.org.

Savile Row has been a byword for exquisite tailoring for centuries – but where did it all begin?

OPPOSITE Beau Brummell was an advocate of tailoring in the area, as was Edward VII, who wore early Henry Poole & Co styles such as this dinner jacket.

SAVILE ROW has always been a hub for the discerning customer, in circles as wide as the military, politics and art.

While the street first became a hub for bespoke tailoring in 1806, the area had been well known for the craft since the 17th century, due to the efforts of Robert Baker, who made Piccadills, a type of collar. William Maddox, a merchant tailor, bought 35 acres of land in East Mayfair in 1622 which included Savile Row. The estate was passed through the generations and handed to the Reverend George Pollen in 1764 –and The Pollen Estate still owns 38 buildings in East Mayfair and is the majority landlord on Savile Row.

In around 1790, the tailors moved to Cork Street, helped by the first of what we’d now call an ‘influencer’, Beau Brummell. A close friend of the future King George IV, he was an

arbiter of men’s fashions and shone a light on the tailoring around the area. This continued when the tailors later moved to Savile Row, drawn by the affluent nature of the street’s

However,inhabitants.itwould be Henry Poole & Co that would be critical for bringing fashion to the street, thanks to the patronage of Henry VII. The firm and the Row itself would be made famous after it invented the dinner jacket for Edward VII in 1860. The origins of companies such as Gieves & Hawkes, H Huntsman & Sons, Dege & Skinner, Norton & Sons and Davies & Son began their association with Savile Row in this era.

At the turn of the 20th century the street was still at the cutting edge of fashion, boosted by the arrival of Frederick Scholte’s English Drape for the Duke of Windsor. This

24 Concours on Savile Row

ABOVE The Duke of Windsor popularised the Dress Soft style, while Ozwald Boateng closed Savile Row to traffic to celebrate the opening of his first premises there.

Dress Soft style evolved into the London Cut, a high, small armhole with a generous upper sleeve for ultimate comfort yet still with a close neck. It became the house style for Anderson & Sheppard.

The 20th century saw an influx of new tailors, mergers and acquisitions, but there was fresh impetus to the street from the likes of Sir Hardy Amies and Nutters of Savile Row, bringing a new audience to the world of bespoke tailoring and modernising industry processes along the way. During this period, many outfitters expanded their product range to ready-to-wear items, and some took the name of Savile Row across the world with boutiques in other major cities.

Come the 1990s, the art of tailoring was refreshed once again

with the pioneering advances of the likes of Ozwald Boateng, Timothy Everest and Richard James as part of the New Bespoke Movement. With a fresh approach to design coming at a time when London was the centre of everything cool, Savile Row was thrust back into the spotlight as the basis for UK style.

That has continued in more recent years, with the likes of Richard Anderson, Cad & The Dandy and others reinvigorating the Row in new ways. For example, the street has welcomed femalefounded bespoke tailor The Deck, which caters solely for women.

As we move into the future, Savile Row will continue to be at the cutting edge of fashion, blending the precedent of history and tradition with a forward-thinking approach.

With years tailorexperience,ofthewillbeable to advise you on your requirements and work out what you need. Once you have decided on the garments, the cutter will help you choose the best fabric – each cloth has its own properties, so it’s best to get their expert advice.

Pattern cutting

Once you’ve chosen the cloth and style, the cutter takes your measurements in order to cut your own personal paper pattern, which you will keep for life.

Trimming

The paper pattern is laid out on the cloth and chalked around. The fabric is then cut by hand, leaving extra cloth at certain seams or ‘inlays’, so the suit can be altered at a later date if your weight changes.

Putting together

The garment is then assigned to a highly skilled tailor – often, that same tailor will be dedicated to you as long as you remain a customer to ensure both a continuity of service and a consistency of quality.

First fitting (or baste)

The tailor canvasses the suit by hand ready for the first fitting. During this fitting, you will find yourself wearing a rough draft of your suit that is only loosely together.stitchedThisis the time to say whether the jacket feels tight in the shoulders, for instance. The cutter will then alter the suit to fit and enhance your posture.

Marking up

Second fitting

The second fitting is more about getting the details – such as trouser and sleeve length – right. The suit is checked over for break over shoe, seat of trouser and drape. Alterations and amendments are refined, giving the suit its fit and comfort. A good tailor should be able to deliver a suit that looks and feels fantastic.

2022 Everrati

Land Rover Series IIA

This exceptional Land Rover Series IIA is part of a fresh restoration culture that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary electric propulsion. While the car has been renovated to the highest level by Land Rover specialists, including the fitment of a galvanised bulkhead and chassis, the in-house-developed EV powertrain drivetrain is all new. There’s a 60kWh battery pack with advanced battery management and temperature control, plus regenerative braking. It has a range of up to 150 miles, but the 300Nm torque makes it perfect for traversing almost every obstacle in front of it.

The interior is far more luxurious than originally, with Bridge of Weir leather

throughout. Customisation is key to the Everrati Land Rover, with endless combinations of bespoke extras, and both handmade Mohair Soft Top and Safari Hard Top formats are available.

It also has power steering, but retains all the elements that make Land Rovers

special – two- and four-wheel-drive, as well as high/low modes for traction or dynamic ability. Bespoke finance packages are available. www.everrati.com

1960

Owner:FerrariCEGGA250TR

The latest in an impressive line-up of racing-car restoration projects completed under ex-Harlequins and England rugby player – and Historic motor sport fan – David Cooke, this CEGGA Ferrari 250TR has a fascinating history. Six years ago, David read the story of Swiss brothers Claude and Georges Gachnang and their Scuderia CEGGA team – and he tracked them down and asked them to help him recreate a tool-room copy of the Scaglietti-bodied racer and hillclimber that back in 1960 they had built from the wreck of a 1958 250TR.

Fired up by the idea, the nowoctogenarians agreed to provide drawings, detailed technical spec

and hands-on help to enable David and the Neil Twyman team to build the car around original Ferrari parts including a centre chassis section. The aluminium body was hand-built as was originally done by Scaglietti. The car was finished in time to race at the 2019 Goodwood

Revival, and the plan is now for it to once again grace the hillclimbs and circuits that it tackled in period. www.ceggaferrari250.com

The custom-made bumpers are shorter and fit more closely to the body than the originals, while the painted wheels are also wider and fitted with knock-off hubs. Further neat touches include leather bonnet straps and a retrimmed interior. Finally, the lowered suspension gives a perfect stance.

2022 Morgan Super 3

Owner: Morgan Motor Company Hosted by: Dege & Skinner

Taking its inspiration from the jet age, Morgan’s new Super 3 three-wheeler melds the very best of automotivemanufacturing techniques, design tradition and craftsmanship with the latest tech to provide a uniquely exciting driving experience. A raft of customisation, accessory and upgrade options make each model unique, but the example on show at the Concours is even more special, thanks to its stunning bespoke trim by Savile Row stalwart Dege & Skinner.

The Super 3 is Morgan’s first cleansheet visual design since the arrival of the Aero 8 in 2000, and it pairs its sleek design language with a modern 1.5-litre Ford engine and super-formed

aluminium monocoque construction. Morgan design head Jonathan Wells explained: “During the jet age, the balance of form vs function was equalised. It was within these decades that the most aerodynamic forms were not only required, but also admired.” www.morgan-motor.com

Giotto Bizzarrini was the mastermind behind the Ferrari 250s SWB and GTO –and designed the Lamborghini V12, too – and now his slippery 1965 5300 GT has been revisited by a stunning recreation.

Bizzarrini brand owner Pegasus Holdings is making a Revival series of 25 authentic interpretations in the image of Giotto’s ’65 Le Mans class-winner. Built in the UK by RML, it features the same V8 engine as was used in period. Each example can be modified to match the customer’s spec.

Owner: Envisage Group Hosted by: Scabal

The Caton looks at first glance like your typical Healey 100, but it has been extensively re-engineered both mechanically and in its all-new bodywork. The result uses the same basic chassis and running gear as the original, but with a smoother, restyled body and higher-quality interior.

It’s built using a fascinating mix of current OEM-level technology and traditional craftsmanship skills, combining parent company Envisage Group’s bespoke engineering knowhow with the decades-old experience attained by JME Healeys.

Only 25 cars will be produced, each one tailored to customer spec. Its chassis undergoes a complete

restoration, suspension and brakes are uprated, the engine is tuned and a new five-speed gearbox is fitted. Most strikingly, the interior is re-engineered and bespoke retrimmed to extremely high quality. www.caton.uk

1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Series V

Owner: RM Sotheby’s Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

This sublime 6C 1750 has an extensive documented ownership history and even participated in the 1933 Mille Miglia. It has been sympathetically restored, and is one of the oldest cars to appear at the Concours on Savile Row.

Alfa introduced the 6C in 1925 to build on its excellent track record in motor sport during the inter-war years, with star drivers such as Antonio Ascari and Giuseppe Campari. Adhering to the ‘win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ ethos, aspects of the competition cars’ engineering would feed into the burgeoning road-model range.

The 6C – named for its straight-six engine – could be adapted into Sedan,

Spider, Cabriolet, Gran Turismo or Super Sport form by coachbuilders. This Zagato-bodied Gran Sport Series V was the finest Italian sports car money could buy. It went through several hands in Italy before being transported to Africa and, decades later, the UK. It remained

in storage for years before undergoing a rebuild with the aim of extolling the virtues of its originality while retaining its usability. www.rmsothebys.com

2022 McLaren Artura

Owner: McLaren Automotive Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

McLaren Automotive heralds an allnew era with the Artura, its first seriesproduction high-performance supercar to boast a hybrid drivetrain. Based on the state-of-the-art McLaren Carbon Fibre Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), it pushes the legendary British car manufacturer’s relentless pursuit of lightness to another level, while the minimal, beautiful design ensures that aerodynamic efficiency is more advanced than ever.

From the rear suspension to the advanced E-diff, every new element contributes to a uniquely intense driving experience. Ultra-light supercar engineering; blistering electrified power; sublime agility and engagement… the

Artura is McLaren to the core. Appropriately, the car is presented in partnership with Savile Row’s Ozwald Boateng, who has brought tailoring to a whole new generation of men with his transformational use of colour, cut and fabric that fuses traditional classic

British tailoring with a high-end modern design. This pairing makes a very rare sighting of a very special car even more exciting. https://cars.mclaren.com

1950 Owner:166MMFerrariBarchetta

This 1950 166MM – chassis 0064M and no. 24 of only 25 – has an amazing story; it was built for Fiat empire heir and eventual owner of Ferrari itself, Giovanni Agnelli. He put his personal stamp on the car from the start, thanks to unique ‘teardrop’ rear lights, distinctive twotone paint and a custom dashboard.

Developed from the 125S by Milan’s Carrozzeria Touring, the 1948 Barchetta revolutionised sports car design with its V12 motor and ultra-thin Superleggera bodywork. The MM established Ferrari in international racing with a first place at the 1949 Mille Miglia, plus victories at Le Mans and Spa. Post-Agnelli, 0064M was owned by Ferrari concessionaire

and Ecurie Francorchamps grandee Jacques Swaters for 46 years, during which it was nicknamed ‘Nonna’ (Italian for Grandma), restored and displayed at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The current owner bought Nonna in 2012, and drove it in the Mille Miglia in 2013 and

2018, while the Ferrari also won the Coppa D’Oro at Villa D’Este in 2015. It’s appeared in two exhibitions at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena as well.

2022 Maserati MC20

The Maserati MC20 is the first midengined supercar from the Modenese marque since the thunderous MC12 of the 2000s, and represents a fresh start for The Trident. At its heart is the 3.0litre twin-turbo Nettuno V6, which uses indirect injection and Formula 1-inspired twin-spark plugs to deliver outrageous performance, with 0-60mph taking less than three seconds. However, thanks to adaptive damping it’s as comfortable a cruiser as any of the grand tourers in Maserati’s vibrant heritage.

While the MC20 can be ordered in standard colours including Bianco Audace, Nero Enigma and Rosso Vicente, the Fuoriserie programme allows for an almost infinite array of

hues, whether your inspiration comes from Maserati’s rich motor sport history or cutting-edge contemporary style.

This car is finished in Grigio Mistero with the optional Carbonfibre Pack and 20in Birdcage wheels, with a Nero leather interior with Rosso stitching and

a stitched Trident on the headrest. There’s also a Sonus Faber sound system and a carbonfibre engine cover. www.maserati.com

2022 Czinger 21C

Owner: Czinger Hosted by: Norton & Sons

Say hello to the Czinger 21C – it’s the first public showing of the car in the UK. This hybrid is at the sharp edge of hypercar design; not only does its in-house drivetrain have the most engine-dense internal-combustion unit with a huge combined 1233bhp, but it’s the first car to be 3D printed.

Every 21C is designed with a patented human-AI combination, with each part optimised for performance, weight and packaging. The car weighs only 1250kg dry, but the way the parts have been designed in the same manner as in nature, there’s excellent rigidity and strength, too. The result is gobsmacking performance: it’ll blast from 0-62mph in 1.9 seconds, with

186mph arriving just 6.6 seconds later.

Just 80 21Cs will be built, with two versions available; a high-downforce configuration or a low-drag variant. Both are powered by that in-house Czinger powertrain, and each will be built to the bespoke needs of the customer. www.czinger.com

Building The Legend E-type Reimagined

Owner: Building The Legend Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

Building The Legend has forged its name with its 1966 Le Mans Prototype evocations, and it has now focused its attention on 24 bespoke takes on the Jaguar E-type. The bodystyle and finish are said to be limited only by the owner’s imagination, with each one hand-crafted with a blend of traditional skills and cutting-edge tech, in coupé, speedster, roadster or low-drag racing-car form.

At the heart is a version of BTL’s Tera quad-cam V12 in either 6.1- or 6.8-litre guise. This has been inspired by the howling V12s from Ferrari that screamed around the Le Mans circuit, and the missed opportunity for Jaguar to follow up its straight-six success in endurance

racing with a V12. The engine is an evolution of the latter concept, with between 350bhp and 650bhp available. The green car pictured above has a 550bhp 6.1-litre engine, for instance.

The cars’ bespoke nature continues elsewhere, with a vast range of options

to tailor everything to your needs, from interior creature comforts to chassis and running-gear upgrades. www.buildingthelegend.co.uk

Private owner

Created by the bespoke customisation service Q by Aston Martin, this uncompromising, visceral two-seater draws inspiration from both the brand’s rich racing history and aeronautical design. Only 88 examples will be built. Billed as a “living show car”, it underlines Aston’s commitment to delivering stunning machines using the engineering ingenuity and advanced materials evident throughout the entire range.

Power comes from a 5.2-litre, twinturbo V12, mated to a ZF eight-speed auto ’box. The latest bonded-aluminium architecture creates a unique chassis, while the bespoke body is constructed from carbonfibre. The cabin specification

pushes new boundaries, using a mix of traditional and modern materials.

Finishes include one inspired by the legendary F/A-18 fighter jet, born from a collaboration with Boeing and finished in Skyfall Silver with satin black on the exhaust tips, vent grilles and vanes. An

historic DBR1 spec is also available, with meticulously crafted details that pay homage to the 1959 Le Mans-winning original. www.astonmartin.com

In spring 1950 German coachbuilder Gottfried Dannenhauer set up Dannenhauer & Stauss with his son-in-law Kurt Stauss. Gottfried had previously worked at Karosseriewerk Reutter when it built prototype pre-war Volkswagens, and now D&S commissioned designer Wagner & Oswald to work with it producing stylish coachbuilt cars using Beetle floorpans and running gear. Around 100 convertibles were manufactured between 1950 and 1957.

This example’s VW donor was made on October 14, 1950, and the D&S bodywork was fitted in late 1951 or early 1952. Its history up until 1979 is unknown, but at that point it was

bought by an Austrian who carried out a rolling restoration over 40 years. The Cabriolet came into the hands of Hampshire’s Just Kampers in 2019. It underwent a 3000-hour restoration, and was upgraded with periodsuitable 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A running gear. www.justkampers.com

1997 Ferrari F50

Owner: RM Sotheby’s Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

Taking its inspiration from the Pininfarina-designed 1989 Ferrari Mythos concept car, and created to celebrate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, the iconic mid-engined F50 (Type F130) arrived back in 1995 as the successor to the F40. The two-door, two-seat, targa-top sports car was manufactured through until July 1997, with a total of 349 examples passing through the marque’s legendary factory gates in the town of Maranello, Italy.

Described by its maker as the “closest thing to a road-going Formula 1 car the company had ever built”, the F50 featured a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated Tipo F130B 60-valve V12 powerplant that was developed from

the 3.5-litre V12 that Scuderia Ferrari used in its 1990 641 F1 car. The model on show at the Concours on Savile Row is one of 302 examples that were painted in the most popular factory hue for both this model and Ferraris in general – Rosso Corsa, or bright red. It

shows a mere 24,000 miles on the clock and – very unusually – was delivered in right-hand-drive format to the UK from new. www.rmsothebys.com

2022 McLaren Elva

Owner: McLaren Automotive Hosted by: Ozwald Boateng

The lightest modern McLaren is perhaps the one with the purest focus – ultimate performance prowess, on road and track. The fifth member of the Ultimate Series, the Elva takes its extreme aesthetic approach from the all-conquering 1960s GTs such as the M1A, M1B and M1C. Its name comes from that time, too, when Elva manufactured and supported a customer-racing version of the M1A.

As with those outrageous machines that founder Bruce drove so adeptly, the Elva blends big power with as low a kerbweight as possible. The midmounted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 kicks out 802bhp – enough to blast to 60mph in around 2.6 seconds and on to 203mph. It’s the most powerful non-hybridised

McLaren ever. The two-door speedster body is crafted from carbonfibre, as is the chassis. The lightweighting processes extend to the brakes, with 1kg shaved by using titanium calipers. To save further weight, the body uses just three main panels. Each car is built to order by the

bespoke MSO department; the model on Savile Row has a visual carbonfibre finish with a teal tint, with brushed champagne brightwork. https://cars.mclaren.com

1986

Owner:TestarossaFerrariSpider

All Testarossas are special, but you’re looking at something truly unique – the only Testarossa Spider built by Ferrari. While the likes of Pininfarina and Straman would fulfil special orders, the one Ferrarimade example was a gift for l’Avvocato Giovanni ‘Gianni’ Agnelli to celebrate the anniversary of him taking over Fiat.

The car was registered with the plate TO 00000G in Turin in June 1986 to IFI Spa, the financial firm owned by Agnelli. It was then registered to Gianni less than a year later. It’s finished in Argento 101/C because AG (for Agnelli Gianni) is the symbol for silver in the periodic table.

While the car obviously sports extra switchgear to operate the hood and roll

hoop, if you look closely you can see how it was built to exactly suit Agnelli’s needs. In his 30s he’d seriously injured his left leg in a car accident, so Ferrari’s engineers thought up a novel system to ease long-distance comfort. At the press of a button the clutch pedal

retracts and the gears change automatically via a Valeo electronic clutch system. This set-up was also later used on Agnelli’s bespoke Ferrari F40.

Power: 385bhp | Top speed: 171mph 0-60mph: 5.2 seconds

1960 Ferrari 250GT PF Owner:Coupé

The 250GT PF Coupé represents the point at which sales of Ferrari’s road cars began to take off. The 3.0-litre Colombo V12-powered model was built in higher numbers than any previous Ferrari, with coachbuilder Pinin Farina constructing a new factory to cope.

All the same, a mere 353 examples were built from 1958, over three different engine variations. Only around half of the production run is thought to have survived today, as many were turned into GTO and other replicas.

This stunning example, 1743GT, is one of the later cars. It was commissioned by the 1957 European hillclimb champion Willy Daetwyler,

and supplied via Eleanor von Neumann’s dealership in Los Angeles, California. Willy specified a competition engine, with three 40 DCL/6 Webers, velocity stacks, disc brakes, high-lift camshafts, limited-slip differential, Borrani wire wheels and an Abarth exhaust. It had

lived its entire life in the US, and has only recently been imported into the UK by its owner, the entrepreneur, scientist and concours judge Cici Muldoon.

The revered Silver Ghost contributed to Rolls-Royce’s reputation for making the world’s greatest cars, and this Piccadilly Roadster is one of four with Merrimac coachwork. It was built at Rolls-Royce’s Springfield, Massachusetts factory for ER Campbell of the soup-producing firm. After three years he sold it to Henry MacDonald of New York, and from 1946 it passed through owners in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Michigan, before heading to the UK. Dealer Ivor Bleaney kept it until 2005, and P&A Wood restored it for its next owner. www.akvr.com

1937 Bentley 4¼ Litre Sedanca Coupé by Gurney Nutting

Owner: Simon Taylor Hosted by: CommissionedHuntsmanin1936 by the Vicomtesse Yvonne Cahen d’Anvers, this Bentley was bodied by Gurney Nutting in a style similar to that of the Hispano-Suiza of her husband Anthony Gustav de Rothschild. The sweeping coupé was a marked contrast to the more reserved Gurney Nutting offerings, but it took so long to construct that the Vicomtesse lost interest and bought something else.

HR Owen promptly sold it, and after 20 years the car headed to the US. It stayed there until the late 1990s, when journalist and commentator Simon Taylor brought it back to the UK. It

was then treated to a four-year bodyoff restoration, after which it won the Montagu Trophy for the most elegant car from Europe at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Since then it’s taken a class win at Salon Privé and been used to tour Europe, including several holidays to France.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT

Owner: George Bamford

Hosted by: Gieves & Hawkes

The 1959 London Motor Show was the stage upon which Aston Martin unveiled its lightweight, high-performance DB4 GT. Coming in at 85kg less than the regular DB4, and boasting a thinner aluminium skin and enclosed headlights, the GT went on to be raced extensively – and successfully – by many famous drivers.

A pure two-seater of which only 75 were built, its chassis was shorter than that of the standard car, while the side and rear windows were made of Plexiglas. The upgraded straight-six produced 302bhp, and some ‘comfortspec’ components were removed to help hone this circuit-ready machine as far as possible. It was the fastest road-legal production car of the time.

DB4GT No. 0125/R – or 18 TVX – was built in the Experimental Department as a Master Project car and sold new to John Ogier’s Essex Racing Stable. It was prepared as a Works model, and driven by the likes of Innes Ireland and Roy Salvadori – the latter of whom piloted it

to a second-place finish to Stirling Moss in the Rob Walker Ferrari 250GT SWB at the 1960 Goodwood TT. It now forms part of the Bamford Collection.

Power: 302bhp | Top speed: 151mph 0-60mph: 6.1 seconds

1950 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica

Owner: c/o Girardo & Co.

Hosted by: Chopard/Cad & The Dandy

In case of confusion, this is no ordinary ‘replica’. In 1949, Frazer Nash entered the first post-War Le Mans 24 Hours with a prototype High Speed version of its Competition Model. This featured a 120bhp 2.0-litre Bristol six-cylinder motor, close-ratio four-speed gearbox, shaft drive and open body with cycle guards.

Norman Culpan and HJ Aldington finished an incredible third place overall, averaging 126.4mph over 3033km. So strong was the resultant boost in sales, Frazer Nash built 34 Le Mans Replicas. These were driven to huge motor sport success by the likes of Stirling Moss, Roy Salvadori and Tony Brooks. Among the most historically significant

Le Mans Replicas, HBC 1 has a stunning period competition history including entries at Le Mans, Reims, Goodwood and in the RAC TT. Decades later, after a comprehensive rebuild by Frazer Nash specialist Blakeney Motorsport, the car was driven by Moss during the 2008

Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, and it has since appeared at the Goodwood Revival and Members’ Meeting and the Le Mans Classic. www.girardo.com

for £1450, the Estate was handed down through many generations until it passed to the Reverend George Pollen in 1764, and then in turn to his five daughters.

A combination of family trusts descending from the daughters and additional investors have curated the Estate over the centuries, creating the impressive array of buildings and distinct culture of this area of East Mayfair. In 2014, Norges Bank Investment Management –Norway’s sovereign wealth fund – purchased a £381 million (64.2 percent) stake in the Estate from the Church Commissioners.

THE POLLEN Estate owns 45 buildings in East Mayfair. These include the significant majority of both Savile Row, the global centre for luxury bespoke men’s wear tailoring, as well as Cork Street, the London home of modern and contemporary art.

Dating back to 1645 when a merchant tailor called William Maddox purchased 35 acres of undeveloped land in East Mayfair

The world’s focus for bespoke tailoring centres on Savile Row, and The Pollen Estate continues to promote the area as a destination for high-class men’s and women’s wear.

The Concours on Savile Row is a project conceived by Hothouse Media and The Pollen Estate, to promote the bespoke craftsmanship that flourishes among the tailoring houses and the synergies these hold with bespoke automotive brands.
