In my last article: https://motorsportformentalhealth.com/2026/05/10/salon-prive-london-2026-pre-millennial-classic-cars/ we explored the pre-millennial classic cars of Salon Prive London 2026. Today we are going to be checking out all the cars that were built after the year 2000.
We’ll begin as we did in the last article with Aston Martin.
We were treated to not one, but two Valhallas!
DB12 Cabriolet
DBX S. I know they’re popular and they’ve been on the maret for a fair few years now, but I still do not understand the appeal at all to ‘Performance SUVs’.
The facelift for the Vantage has really improved it! Don’t get me wrong – I like the first iteration of this generation, but the new look is exceptional!
The 2005-2018 Vantage is a timeless car.
There were plenty of first generation Vanquishes.
The Arash Motor Company is a British firm based in Newmarket who build sportscars.
This is an AF8 Falcon Edition:
Another AF8
And the flagship model – the AF10:
Sticking with the British, Club HLS had a couple of McLarens on their stand.
Along with a Senna. I’ve been fortunate enough to see a few Sennas in person now. I’ve always considered them a function over form car, I’ve never found them to be a good looking car, but the darker colours do really suit them.
A Lotus Emira on the Club HLS stand. I love the Grand-Prix throwback colour scheme.
A pair of Rolls Royces:
A Bentley Continental GT presented by Graeme Hunt.
A beautiful Bugatti Chiron outside The Sloane Pavilion.
There was a second, rather ominous Chiron on display. I liked the contrasting bright brake calipers and the tricolor on the wing mirrors.
The way that this Veyron has been painted is interesting.
Where these cars can often be seen specified in two colours, this one is a single colour but part matt and part glossy where the colours would normally separate.
To the best of my knowledge I’ve not seen one like it before, but apparently a few were finished this way.
As I went on the Thursday, I was able to see a collection of Koenigseggs curated by SuperVettura. I’m very blessed that I can attend shows where I can get so close to such amazing cars!
It was a real treat to see some of the earlier cars.
The Agera is the prettiest car Koenigsegg have produced in my opinion.
There were two Jeskos, both in Attack configuration.
Finally there was a Regera.
There were only a couple of Lamborghinis. One was an Aventador presented by Landmark Specialist Finance.
The other was a Temerario, which is the Huracan’s successor.
The Huracan is a one of my favourite Lambos. In the States people build them for 1/2 mile drag racing and across the world it’s become a bit of an exotic tuning icon with lots of bodykits on the market from companies like Liberty Walk.
The Temerario has a tough act to follow in my eyes!
The Thursday also had a large display of Porsches to celebrate Porsche Club GB’s 65th anniversary.
There was a whole host of Ferraris as you can well imagine.
I always thought the F430 is a little underrated. It was in production when I was in secondary school, so maybe that’s why I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for them – They were a bit of a ‘poster car’.
The new Ferrari Amalfi that was on display on Salon Prive’s Sloane Street Concours (which you can read about here: https://motorsportformentalhealth.com/2026/04/12/salon-prive-sloane-street-concours/)
This Enzo was the only one of Ferrari’s Big 6 on show, which is unusual for this type of event.
A 575M Superamerica. The Superamerica was a limited run of 599 convertibles with a ‘electrochromic’ (self tinting) glass roof panel. I never knew that they made these!
The 575 is actually a Ferrari I would love to own. I love the Bad Boys series of films and that chase sequence across the bridge in Bad Boys 2 is iconic! (I’d like one with both headlights intact and without a line of bullet holes in the dashboard… “Shoot outside!”)
Moving on to something a little less exotic – Fiat had a stand and were displaying the Abarth 600e, the spicy version of Fiat’s electric 600.
Along with the Fiat Topolino. I’m so happy these made it to the U.K. I’ve only seen a couple on the road and they make me smile. Such a cool, cute city car!
Also, the Topolino is a great little electric city car that can be had for less than £10,000!
(Sadly the 28mph top speed means that it’s not a lot of use outside of the city.)
Another fun little city car that is a little more useable is from Swiss firm Microlino.
The Microlino is inspired by the BMW Isetta bubble car of the 1950s.
This will do 56mph which means it can do short runs on A-roads.
It is more expensive at £17,000, but with that extra speed comes a lot more useability!
I actually really like this sort of car for inner-city commuting. Both the Microlino and the Topolino are surprisingly spacious inside and are tiny so are perfect for narrow, crowded city streets.
I really hope both sell well so it encourages more auto-manufacturers to make these little city cars, and Changan to bring the Lumin here (unsure what I’m talking about? Check out my article on the Chinese manufacturers at the Bangkok International Motor Show here: https://motorsportformentalhealth.com/2026/04/05/2026-bangkok-international-motor-show-chinese-manufacturers/)
