This September 7 - 9, a once-in-a-lifetime motoring event, the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance, will be held in the grounds of the UK's most historic castle. In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, Windsor Castle will host a display of sixty of the rarest and most desirable motor cars from around the world.

In addition to the Concours cars, 60 British classics will be driven to Windsor Castle on the RAC's 'Best of British' Tour, with Lotus, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and more represented in a display inside the Cambridge Gate.

The Aston Martin Owners Club will bring 60 cars to represent each year of HM The Queen's reign, including a One-77 and the DB4GT Zagato '2VEV'.

On the Sunday of the event, a further 60 cars, again selected to represent each year of The Queen's reign, will park at the Castle as part of the 'Octane Jubilee Tour'.

A 'Classic and Modern' display by leading manufacturers will feature a special classic from each marque's heritage alongside a new car. Last, but not least, there will be displays of horse-drawn carriages and a selection of classic Royal cars - among them Prince Charles' rare 1969 Aston Martin Volante DB6 MkII.
