The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance will celebrate a three-day car festival at the luxurious equestrian Radnor Hunt Club in Malvern, Pennsylvania, on September 6-8, 2024.

The weekend is full of collector car-themed events, including a welcoming Homemade Barbecue Dinner, Memorial Road Rally, a Auction, a Dinner With Live Music, a Tie Gala, and a full Concours d’Elegance.

Rich in history, The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance is the only Concours d’Elegance in the United States to still feature coaches and carriages alongside vintage car classics. While the oldest coach might hail from a bygone era, the newest motor vehicle could be from 2025.

Now in its 25th year, The Radnor Hunt Concours car and coach show stands as one of the premier events in Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance Vintage Automotive and Antique Coach Show (Sept.6-8, 2024).

The Radnor Hunt is the only U.S. Concours d’Elegance where you will see horse drawn carriages along with pre-war, post-war, and modern automobiles.

The 2022 Radnor Hunt Concours “Best of Show” was awarded to a 1925 Locomobile Model 48.9 Derham Convertible owned by Robert Jepson.

The featured Concours d’Elegance automile classes for 2023 include:

• Lincoln Continental Pre and Post War (1939 – 1948)
• Continental Mark II (1956-1957)
• Continental Mark III – V (1969-1979
• Pierce Arrow
• Sports Features: HRG
• BMW 507 and Z8 Pairing

This year, all the way from Switzerland, is this incredible 1953 Delahaye 135 MS CL Spéciale Faget-Varnet. This one-off blue coupe will be on the show field as one of the featured vintage vehicles.

Another featured vintage marque on the main field will be a car collection of HRGs. The collection includes a rare 1950 HRG 1500, a 1956 HRG Twin Cam, and a 1947 HRG 1500 Aerodynamic.

HRG Engineering Company, also known as HRG, was a British car manufacturer based in Tolworth, Surrey, in the UK. Cars were produced under the HRG name from 1935 to 1956, many of which competed in both Grand Prix and Le Mans racing circuits. (Read More on Wikipedia)
