Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance

The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance is a prestigious, invitation-only celebration of automotive elegance, held each September on the historic grounds of the Radnor Hunt Club in Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA. Established in 1997 by Michael G. Tillson III, the event was designed to mirror the refinement of world-class concours such as Pebble Beach, combining the charm of an English garden party with an exclusive showcase of rare, meticulously restored vehicles. Each year, only 100 cars are selected to participate, offering visitors a curated presentation of classics, sports cars, roadsters, and muscle cars that highlight automotive artistry and historical significance.

The Concours weekend unfolds over three delightful days, blending social events with automotive competition. The festivities kick off with a Friday evening barbecue, followed by Cars & Coffee and the Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally—a spirited 60-mile drive through scenic countryside filled with cryptic clues and surprises along the way. Saturday evening brings a formal black-tie gala, and Sunday features the main auto show, where entries are judged across various classes and awards—such as Best in Class, Best in Show, and Debutante Award—are presented to the finest entries.

Beyond the vehicles themselves, the Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance also serves a charitable purpose, benefiting the Thorncroft Equestrian Center, which provides therapeutic horsemanship programs for people with special needs. For 2025, the event is scheduled to take place from September 5 to September 7, continuing its tradition of melding automotive excellence with community engagement in the heart of Pennsylvania.
