World record Aston Martin Valkyrie parade wows Salon Privé London

A collection of 14 Aston Martin Valkyrie were paraded at the Royal Hospital Chelsea as part of this year’s Salon Privé London.

The gathering signalled a world first for the largest collection of Valkyrie in one place and was overseen by an immaculately dressed crowd on Ladies’ Day at the event. Also in attendance was legendary Red Bull Racing designer Adrian Newey whose future with the reigning world champions has been the subject of rumour speculation recently.

The Valkyrie display, organised by the AMV Owners Club in partnership with Salon Privé, was complemented by two Aston Martin One-77, a Vulcan, and a V12 Speedster.

“This huge gathering of Aston Martin Valkyrie was a stunning world first showcase for Salon Privé London,” said show director David Bagley. “It’s been a delight to work with the AMV Owners Club and bring so many owners together in their incredible cars, and everyone who witnessed it is certain it’s going to go down in history as one to remember.

“I’m delighted so many guests got to witness it – and it’s a brilliant warm-up for the Salon Privé London Supercar Saturday, where dozens more amazing machines are due to grace the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea. It means anyone who couldn’t attend today will get another chance to get their Salon Privé London supercar fix – all while enjoying our unique and peerless take on luxury hospitality and entertainment.”
