Lockton Performance is thrilled to be celebrating seven years of presenting the Club Trophy at Salon Privé, on Saturday 5th September 2026 on the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace. Our long-standing gold level sponsorship at Salon Privé reflects our genuine passion for the motoring industry and commitment to car clubs, and it’s been a privilege to be part of an event which brings fellow motoring fans together to enjoy this renowned automotive spectacle.
Exclusively sponsored by Lockton Performance and hosted by Salon Privé, the Club Trophy offers car club members the opportunity to win the prestigious award. The event draws an illustrious crowd, including leading manufacturers and luxury brands from around the globe.
This year we are thrilled to announce several returning judges, such as Tania Russell of Women In Wheels, as well as members from each of the Lockton partner car clubs, representing some of the largest and most prestigious car owners’ clubs in the UK. Through vigorous judging, one car will be selected to receive the award for the best club car on display. The last six years have seen an exceptional standard of entries, making our judges’ task more challenging than ever. Last year, Nicholas Williams took to the podium with his winning 1933 Invicta S Type, a truly stunning vehicle.
Simon Ambler, Head of Performance at Lockton, says: “Salon Privé is a major event in the motoring calendar, and we’ve been honoured to present the Club Trophy for the last six years. Our partnership with Salon Privé offers unique opportunities to connect with fellow motoring enthusiasts and everyone who shares our deep passion for cars. We are delighted to host the Trophy competition again and recognise the best of these amazing vehicles.”
