Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Salon Prive - London 2022

No I still believe the super 3 is waiting for the Morgan waterfall grill , it is obvious perhaps Morgan Park have to create it.

The seat fabric has a feel to it which is similar to "Sunbrella" if any of have come cross this fabric before. I have had it for many years now on my garden furniture and it is remarkably resilient to the weather and sun and I just jet-wash the furniture once a year after the winter season to get all the green muck/slime off from the trees and it looks like new again. Hopefully this stuff will perform as well. having said that whilst I appreciate this car is the laugh/press cars and everyone has been climbing in and out standing on the seat it doesn't appear to be holding up that well.

and as the name suggests is UV proof. Had a boat cockpit canopy made from it.

"Technical Fabric" rofl

I see the adjective 'Technical' being applied to just about anything these days, but to me it's got more than a whiff of Mall Ninja* about it. My instinct is to dismiss it out of hand as being one of those meaningless adjuncts designed to imbue some kind of pseudo-military credibility so as to appeal to the kind of sidewalk commando who yearns to be a member of Meal Team Six.

That aside, I have to say I'm rather taken with the looks of the Super3, I think it's fine as it is.

*For those of you who aren't aware of the reference, it's a wonderful bit of internet history dating back 20 years (so well before the Paul Blart / Observe and Report movies). You can read the whole hilarious story here:

This Coral car is very much a pre production car. In fact it’s not a working model and lots of areas that are not finished as per the final product

Its Concours time again with invitations going out now for Salon Prive set for April 2023 in the U.K.

Our local TV picked up on the appearance of my Delorean at the Sydney Harbour Concours d'Elegance in early March
My 2011 4/4 was invited to this event some years ago but only as a support "car park filler"
This time it's the real thing.....


Here are some details

Well, the big day has almost arrived for my Delorean.

She will be parked up on Thursday inside Hyde Park Barracks on Macquarie Street, Sydney as one of the 40 cars invited to join the 5th Edition of the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance.

This display is listed as the Southern hemisphere’s leading Concours. It was a finalist in the Concours Event of the Year at the Historic Motoring Awards in London.
Internationally recognised classic car commentator, columnist, consultant and entrepreneur Simon Kidston, will be the guest of honour. Simon is based in Switzerland and brokered the recent world record deal for the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé for 135 million euros.

The Concours jury will once again be led by Filip Bourgoo – Founder of the Zoute Grand Prix Week, Belgium, with his fellow judges;
Madan Mohan – Chairman & Managing Trustee
21 Gun Salute Heritage & Cultural Trust, New Delhi, India
Mariella Mengozzi – Director of Mauto, the Italian national motor museum, Turin, Italy
Patrick Dimier – Member of Parliament
and committee member for the Concours d’Elegance Suisse, Switzerland
Allan Winn - Vice President of Brooklands Museum, England

The black-tie Pommery Champagne Gala Awards Dinner will be held at the Royal Motor Yacht Club of NSW on Saturday 4th March. Simon Kidston will be the guest speaker over dinner at the Royal Automobile Club of Australia on Friday the 3rd while the Owners Welcome Drinks will be held on Thursday the 2nd in the grounds of Hyde Park Barracks which is our Concours venue.

Tickets for public entry on Friday and Saturday seemed a little pricy at A$385.00 per person, per day, but that does include a hard copy of the catalogue, a lavish picnic lunch with unlimited Pommery champers.

The two-day combined tickets were sold out even before I got to the website.
Absolute bargain if you ask me........😂

(Thank heavens I'm not paying for any of it)

I hope you get a free lunch for being part of the attraction!

Sounds like a brilliant day out - but rather pricey for the punters.

Enjoy Gary, you should be back in time for tea

A Taffmog member was invited to take his Plus8 last year. I believe he had an award but was pipped for top spot by a professionally fully restored car ( E-type I think). He did his own restoration so a superb result. It cost him a few ££££ to take the car there though! No free entry. His car has been seen in Miscellany articles.

It was a plus 4 drop head coupe unless John stuck a v8 in it.
