Lockton Performance will celebrate six years of presenting the Salon Privé Club Trophy on Saturday 30th August 2025 on the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace, bringing fellow motoring fans together to enjoy this renowned automotive event. Salon Privé, celebrating its 20th year in spectacular style, reflects our genuine long-term passion for the motoring industry and commitment to car clubs.
Exclusively sponsored by Lockton Performance and hosted by Salon Privé, Club Trophy offers car club members the opportunity to win the prestigious Lockton Club Trophy. The event draws a prestigious crowd, including leading manufacturers and luxury brands from around the globe.
The judging this year will be led by Ian and Ben Barkaway, with the line up including Tania Russell of Women In Wheels and Fang Barrow. Through vigorous judging, one car is selected to receive the award for the best club car on display. Last year, for the first time, there was a tie, with two joint overall winners – a fully restored Aston Martin DB6 Coupe and a Noble M600 Carbon.
Salon Privé is truly a unique event, with over 1,500 club cars from invited clubs along with members’ prestige sports, vintage, classic, super or hypercars displayed on the North Lawns. From there, members can access the South Lawn, which features a new glass-structured Gallery with manufacturer stands, luxury brands and hospitality in the Lockton Pavilion.
Simon Ambler, Head of Performance at Lockton, says: “We at Lockton are absolutely thrilled to continue our partnership with Salon Privé and sponsor the Club Trophy for an incredible sixth year! It's an unparalleled opportunity to connect with fellow motoring enthusiasts and everyone who shares our deep passion for extraordinary cars. This truly is the perfect partnership for Lockton Performance.”
David Bagley, Director of Salon Privé, comments: “As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are thrilled to have Lockton’s continued support as part of our long-standing partnership. Lockton has been with us since the very beginning, and it’s always a pleasure to work with their dedicated team. Saturday’s Club Trophy display will be a highlight of the weekend - a fitting tribute to two decades of automotive excellence and enthusiast passion.”
