Received today - the chance to mix with a Lamborghini Aventador and a Bugatti Veyron. I like the "period dress" idea too!
I reckon Darren C might be able to do at least 3 of these himself! ;)

For Immediate Release:

World's best 60 cars needed to help celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee.

Sixty of the most stunning concours d'elegance condition cars from around the world will help celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with a spectacular display to be held in the quadrangle of Windsor Castle. The Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance open to the public on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September 2012, will be one of the most impressive and important events in the motoring calendar ever. It will be complemented by a Jubilee Tour of Elegance from London to Windsor Castle on Sunday 9 September.

The 60 cars for the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance are coming from around the world including the USA, Europe, Argentina and, of course, Britain. Only vehicles of the very highest show standards have been invited and this will be a unique event. The display will be open to the public on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September with tickets available from £25 each – all proceeds go to charity.

In addition to the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance, on Sunday 9 September a Jubilee Tour of Elegance, in association with Octane magazine, will depart from central London and take a specially chosen route to Windsor. The final approach will include a spectacular drive up to Windsor Castle. Classic and performance cars will be selected from 1952 to date, representing each year of Her Majesty the Queen’s reign. Entrants on the Jubilee Tour of Elegance will have free access to the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance in return for a donation, plus brunch en-route.

How to enter the Jubilee Tour of Elegance

Please find below a list of classic and performance cars we would like to invite to attend this event on Sunday 9 September. The dates represent the first year of their manufacture. Cars must be insured and MoT’d for use on public roads and in clean, original condition. Drivers and passengers are encouraged to dress in period clothing.
The tour will leave central London (exact location to be announced) and will proceed to Windsor Castle. A route map will be provided. There is no competition involved.

Tour participants will have free entry (worth £25 per person) to the exclusive Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance on arrival but we are encouraging entrants to make a minimum contribution to charity of £100 per car. If owners are willing, we will also be auctioning a number of additional seats for charity to members of the public.

If you would like your car to be considered for this very exclusive event, please email a clear photograph of your car and a short (no more than 100 word) description of your acquisition/ownership history of the vehicle and contact details to: Rebecca (at) eventspr.co.uk. Please also indicate whether you would be willing to carry additional passengers, and if so the number.For further details, please visit: www.classicandperformancecar.com

:lol:

Liz & Phil, will be sick of the sight of me, I've only just got over Phil's birthday bash in the quadrangle at Windsor, last week I was at Buck House, so 3 meetings with me in 12 months might be too much for dear old Liz!

I even lent Andy (their son) a clean set of pants when we went away together, and he'd forgotten to pack some....but that's another story entirely.
