MASTERPIECE LONDON RACES TO THE FINISH LINE WITH MAGNIFICENT £3 MILLION BUGATTI

Masterpiece London is delighted to announce two exciting additions to its impressive starting grid with the internationally-acclaimed classic car specialists, Fiskens and Coys joining the line-up. Some great cars are set to be offered, with a £3 million 1932 Bugatti from Coys in pole position, having successfully raced in some of the most famous early Grands Prix.

These two prestigious exhibitors will be showcasing a dazzling array of fine historical automobiles: a major attraction for Masterpiece London - the brand new fair taking place at the former Chelsea Barracks, London SW1 between 24 and 29 June. Masterpiece London represents the next generation of fairs, combining fine and decorative art with premium collectors’ items.

Coys, the historic motor car specialists founded by Wilfred E Coy, is one of the world's truly innovative motoring and aviation entrepreneurs. The 1932 Bugatti Type 51 Grand Prix motor car is representative of the exceptional calibre of vehicle they offer, having been raced by legendary driver Jean Pierre Wimille and one of the finest surviving examples of its kind.

Another highlight will be the superb showcase of classic cars from Fiskens, including cars such as a magnificent Aston Martin DB4 GT, which competed on a multitude occasions at some of the most high-profile Swiss races between 1962 and 1965. This handsome French Blue Aston Martin frequently challenged its Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250 GTO contemporaries at events such as the Rally de Geneva, St-Ursanne-les Rangiers and Mitholz-kandersteg hill climbs.

Masterpiece London offers motoring enthusiasts a rare opportunity to admire a fine selection of high calibre classic cars ranging from early 20^th Century Rolls-Royces and Bentleys to expertly-restored 1960s competition models and a chance to acquire a very special example of some of the world’s finest historic models.

Offering the ultimate in elegance, quality, luxury and sophistication, Masterpiece London will be a truly exceptional experience. Visitors in need of refreshment will be able to enjoy, for the first time under one roof, a spectrum of fine food brought to the fair by Urban Caprice, the catering and production arm of Caprice Holdings. The restaurants and clubs at the fair will include satellites of The Ivy, Bam-Bou, Scott’s and Harry’s Bar, and Le Caprice will have a full restaurant on site.

The historic Bugatti and the equally-remarkable Aston Martin form part of an amazing procession of usual and exceptional masterpieces at the Fair. Exquisite pieces from the diverse worlds of arms and armour, contemporary furniture, antiquities, clocks, ceramics, haute couture, watches, fine antique jewellery, textiles, rare antique books, paintings, modern works of art and other objets d’art will also appear in this showcase of excellence from around the world.

Thomas Woodham Smith, Chairman of the Masterpiece London Board comments: “Masterpiece London will offer something for everyone, whether you are a fine art connoisseur or a new collector looking for that once-in-a-lifetime treasure.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
