There will be a royal presence at next month’s Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, London with Prince Charle’s Aston Martin DB6 Volante on display.

The Concours of Elegance has announced that its upcoming 10th-anniversary show will celebrate the most revered British marque of all: Aston Martin. 

The show takes place from 2 to 4 September and will assemble the very finest examples from the company’s history. 

There will be 70 Concours cars on the immaculately manicured palace grounds including The Prince of Wales’s beloved Aston Martin DB6 Volante. 

The Prince of Wales’s open-top Aston has appeared at numerous significant events over the past half-century. Finished in the striking hue of Seychelles Blue, the car has been treasured and enthusiastically used ever since.

James Brooks-Ward, Concours of Elegance CEO, said, the display will “gather the rarest, most significant cars to have worn the famed winged badge, charting the history of this most charming British marque”. 

“The carefully curated line-up – drawn from the world’s leading private collections - will celebrate all that makes Aston Martin great; engineering ingenuity, remarkable resilience, and of course, captivating design flair.”

Outside the main display of vehicles, the Concours of Elegance will assemble around 1,000 further cars in a series of special features and displays, as well as a live collector car auction by Gooding & Co.
