“Salon Privé is not just about beautiful cars, but equally, luxury brands and products. This area of the event has more than doubled in size this year and we are thrilled to welcome such a wonderful line-up of brands which cover a wide variety of luxury living,” commented co-founder David Bagley.
Dura Garages
Established in 1997, the fitted garage concept from Dura Garages combines traditional British engineering with contemporary cabinet design to create a product that transforms the styling of the garage and the way it functions.
Dura is so well regarded that its storage cabinets are now being used by many of the world’s leading car manufacturers in their own workshops around the world. The brand can also provide garage flooring, wall-mounted storage and ceiling panels to complete the stylish yet functional look.
Junior Classics
Junior Classics was born out of a passion to build the highest quality drivable scale models of some of the most iconic cars in the world. Recreating five of history’s most beautiful cars, children and adults up to 6ft can enjoy driving superb models of the Roadster, GB Spirit, F1 L, Cobra or 250 California.
Based in Lancashire, Junior Classics models are precision engineered and CAD-led using the best quality components found in road cars driven today. These include ventilated discs with dual-pot Brembo callipers providing excellent braking, while gas shock absorbers provide a comfortable and safe ride. Leather interior options using time-honoured upholstery techniques give cockpits a glorious look, feel and smell, while DuPont paint with multiple and custom options complete cars to the highest standard.
Junior Classics models are bespoke-built, giving customers the opportunity to customise the engine, interior, paint and wheels.
Salon Privé will also host a new supercar competition this year, entitled The Pirelli Prestige and Performance Competition. With supercars from 1975 to present qualifying for entry, the competition will be held on Saturday 5th September, the first time Salon Privé has opened at the weekend.
