Auto agenda: Salon Privé, the M Festival

Salon Privé, one of the smaller events which has seen its star rise as London's Motor Show ran out of gas, begins in the British capital June 22, while performance cars begin to gather at Germany's famous Nürburgring the day after.

Salon Privé
June 22-24
London, United Kingdom

The luxury and supercar show fills at least some of the gap left by the absence of a British Motor Show, showcasing top-end marques in the beautiful surroundings of London's Syon Park. Alongside the cars will be a Concours d'Elégance and a new attraction, the world’s most comprehensive collection of surviving Group C Porsches.
