Owner’s Programme

1

Welcome to Bentley Masters, the 3rd event in the Masters Series at Salon Privé which this year celebrates the 100th anniversary of one of the world’s most iconic British automotive marques, Bentley.

Whilst there is a competitive element to Bentley Masters, it is first and foremost a celebration and so, on display is a timeline of models from the earliest W.O. Bentleys to the very latest Bentley Continental GT and everything in between. In total, some fifty models will tell the story of how the marque evolved and how it has grown to become one of the most revered, luxury marques on the road today.

It is more than just the cars however, as we immerse you in one of the most convivial, intimate and relaxed environments you could wish to experience. Quintessentially English, set against the backdrop of ‘Britain’s Greatest Palace’ and with Pommery Champagne flowing, it is a very special occasion for owners as well as enthusiasts. On the third day, Sunday 8th September, we welcome the Bentley Drivers Club Annual Concours d'Elegance alongside a gathering of no less than 1,000 Bentleys from across the globe – definitely one not to miss!

With kind regards,

YOUR INVITATION TO THE SALON PRIVÉ BENTLEY MASTERS 6TH-8TH SEPTEMBER

Our 2019 Bentley Masters celebrates the history of Bentley Motors, presenting a tribute to their centenary. We take a more relaxed and celebratory approach to the judging rather than the close scrutiny of a traditional Concours event.

This year’s Judges have been carefully selected for their knowledge and expertise of the Bentley marque, combined with those who have a passion and life-long interest in these special cars. As Chief Judge, Derek Bell MBE will lead this prestigious judging panel. Trophies will be awarded during the day, with the much-coveted Owners’ Choice presented at the Saturday evening Gala Dinner.

• Owners’ Choice – Awarded by the Owners• Runner-Up – Awarded by the Owners• Duke’s Choice – Awarded by the Duke of Marlborough• Chairman’s Choice – Awarded by Andrew Bagley• People’s Choice– Awarded by the Public• Ladies’ Choice – Awarded by the Ladies• Special Awards – Awarded by the Judges
