The Rolls Royce poses at the Burghley House in Stanford, Lincolnshire, gathering the biggest number of RR in one place.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrated the largest gathering of Rolls-Royces in the world this past weekend at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Annual Rally and Concours d’Elegance.

The spectacular setting of Burghley House, one of England’s finest Elizabethan Houses, in Stamford, Lincolnshire, provided the perfect backdrop for over 1000 heritage and contemporary Rolls-Royces.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars honored the occasion with a significant display of Goodwood-built Phantom, Ghost, Wraith and Dawn motor cars. The collection included Wraith Black Badge and several highly Bespoke models. The motor cars were also hosted by a team from the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, including craftsmen and women, graduates and apprentices.

This year, like in the previous years, the display drew large crowds throughout all three days of the event with evident passion for the marque, particularly the latest models, among fans, enthusiasts and owners.

This year’s event also featured a tribute to the 1948 Earl’s Court Motor Show which celebrates the country’s return to vehicle manufacture after World War II. A contemporary Rolls-Royce Wraith was featured in the exhibition, as a “car of the future,” alongside a period Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith.

Andrew Ball, head of Corporate Relations, Heritage and Philanthropy, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “We are delighted to support our colleagues at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club and to present our contemporary Rolls-Royce motor cars at this spectacular event. The Club is a vital custodian of our marque’s remarkable history, and the Annual Rally and Concours d’Elegance provides unique access to some of the most important and rare motor cars in automotive history.”

An increasing number of enthusiasts is choosing to acquire a Rolls-Royce to complement their heritage collections, either commissioning a new motor car or purchasing through the company’s Provenance Program. This is reflected by the “Goodwood Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Register,” which is now one of the fastest-growing sections of the Club.

The Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Annual Rally and Concours d’Elegance took place from Friday 22 June to Sunday 24 June. The Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club caters to anyone with an interest in the motor car products of Rolls-Royce. From just 11 people at the inaugural meeting in 1957, membership is now approaching 10,000, making it the largest club of its kind in the world. Membership is open to owners and non-owners alike and members are drawn from all walks of life and from most countries of the world.
