Blenheim Palace hosts Salon Privé White Collection car exhibition as restoration nears completion

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire is preparing for two high‑profile events. A two‑year, £12 million restoration project, led by specialist contractor DBR, is set to finish by the end of October. The work focuses on the Great Hall roof, attic timbers, ceilings and interior artworks that have suffered from damp, leaks and decay. Managing Director Heather Carter praised the collaborative effort of engineers, architects and heritage teams to protect the 300‑year‑old building for future visitors.

In September, the palace will also host Salon Privé 2026’s White Collection, a five‑day exhibition showcasing ten exceptional cars, each finished in a distinct shade of white. Highlights include a pearl‑white Lexus LFA, a white‑and‑chrome Bugatti Veyron, and a 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, among other classic and modern hypercars. The display offers visitors a unique chance to compare some of the world’s most desirable collector cars in one historic setting.
