The inaugural Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance was held 7-9 September 2012 inside the walls of famed Windsor Castle. The three-day gathering featured sixty of the world’s finest motor cars, staged on the grounds of the castle notable for its long association with the British royal family.
The event featured race-winning sports cars, graceful limousines, exquisite one-off examples of celebrated coachbuilders’ art, with all the great motoring marques on display.
