Salon Privé 2012 Preview

Salon Privé 2012 Preview - Jay Kay and the Bagleys Salon Privé, the UK equivalent of Pebble Beach and Villa d’Este, moves to September this year and promises lots of interesting car goodness. Salon Privé - that car show in London that your other half will enjoy – has the same problem as almost every other event in London 2012 – there’s too much going on. What with the 2012 Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee there’s not much space left in the London ‘Season’ so Salon Privé has been moved to the back end and will run from September 5-7th.

World's most expensive Alfa Romeo sold at auction

The Alfa Romeo that was the brainchild of Mussolini has sold for nearly £6m at auction. The Italian dictator commissioned the Alfa Romeo 8C-35 to conquer Hitler's dominance of pre-war racing. Built in time for the 1935 Italian Grand Prix, the 8C-35 smashed the competition with racing star Tazio Nuvolari at the wheel and confirmed its fate as one of the most successful racing cars ever. At last weekend's Goodwood Revival, the 8C-35's place in the history books was confirmed as it became the most expensive Alfa Romeo ever to sell at auction. Selling for £5,937,500, the Alfa Romeo eclipsed the previous record of £4,245,118, held by a 1933 8C 2300 Monza, sold in 2010.
