For its 20th, or Emerald Anniversary, Salon Privé will present a one-off ‘Green Collection’ at Blenheim Palace from 27-31 August 2025 – a display of rare eclectic mix of cars unified by their green finishes. The ten cars announced (so far) span a century of automotive design, from Le Mans legends to modern hypercars. Here’s a run-down what visitors can expect.
This 1927 Bentley 3 Litre Vanden Plas Le Mans is the sole survivor of the original three Works entries. Restored to its original racing specification, this Pebble Beach class winner embodies Bentley’s early motorsport success and remains a cornerstone of the marque’s heritage.
Python Green coats the Bentley Batur, a modern coachbuilt grand tourer representing the brand’s modern era. Its bold proportions and limited production underline Bentley’s commitment to exclusivity and bespoke craftsmanship.
The third Bentley of the group, this is the Speed Six Continuation Series, known as Car Zero – the first built by the factory – represents a faithful recreation of the 1929 Le Mans-winning model. This development prototype has covered almost 10,000 miles of testing, ensuring period authenticity is matched by modern durability.
Jaguar’s C-X75 never reached production, but this unique road-going example – reimagined by CALLUM – brings the concept to life. We actually drove the orange sister car to this here.
Ferrari’s SF90 ‘Ispirazioni’ is a one-of-one creation believed to be the most heavily specified example built. Finished in Verde Francesca with green carbon accents, it merges hybrid hypercar performance with individualised Italian flair.
Koenigsegg’s CCR in bespoke Racing Green – the only example finished in Jesko, the founder’s personal colour – incorporates upgrades over the CC8S, marrying Swedish engineering with a distinctive competition-inspired finish.
Lamborghini’s Aventador SVJ Roadster, presented here in green, delivers 759bhp, open-air drama and a 0-100km/h sprint in just 2.8 seconds. Pure theatre.
The Lamborghini Miura P400S, built in 1970 and restored 50 years later, wears Miura Verde paint. It remains one of the most beautiful designs in motoring history.
Porsche’s Carrera GT needs little introduction, but this UK-delivered example stands apart in special-order Olive Green. Its six-speed manual gearbox and naturally aspirated V10 keep it firmly in the analogue supercar era.
Rounding out the collection is the Bugatti Veyron Centenaire, one of four Villa d’Este Editions built in 2009. Finished in British Racing Green in homage to Sir Malcolm Campbell, it blends modern hypercar engineering with a nod to Bugatti’s racing past.
