Supercar Sunday is a fabulous event hosted by HR Owen VIP services and HR Owen Rolls Royce. At Monaco by Stanford we were very much looking forward to the event, as the custom Monaco Sprinter, designed for HR Owen, was scheduled to be unveiled just in time for the event.
This will be the second Supercar Sunday hosted by HR Owen. Last year the event took place during the Autumn, and it was big… A host of Supercars turned up! This year was set to be even bigger though as the popularity of the event had more than doubled! The footage from last year’s Supercar Sunday was enough to confirm that this was the place to be.
The HR Owen team picked up their Monaco Sprinter on the Friday, ready for Sundays antics. They were thrilled! We said our goodbye’s and waited excitedly for Sunday.
Supercar Sunday at Berkley Square
This year, the famous Supercar meet was held in Berkley Square. There was a mass of people and the sound from the DJ along with the roar of engines was incredible. The roads were buzzing, it was a perfect London day for this type of event - the hottest day of the year in fact - perfect convertible weather! Along the street, there was a mix of HR Owen cars parked up from Lamborghini, Rolls Royce VIP and other HR Owen brands. I managed to catch up with Abbass who said the day had started at 8.30 even though the event wasn’t officially meant to kick off until 10!
Just as we made our way to the main area, a huge crowd started to form and cameras were in the air, people were sprinting from all directions. So what was drawing the crowd? Only the most expensive car with an even more expensive number plate! A Bugatti Veyron with registration ‘F1’. The car itself is worth over £1 million while the licence plate, bought for £440,000 in 2008, was recently valued att £10 million.
It wasn’t all just petrol heads, there was a complete mix of people there. Men and women, families on days out with young kids, all loving the noise and outlandish cars.
The parade of cars was accompanied by a DJ and a special set by DMO Deejay, who had a crowd surrounding him the entire time.
Alongside the row of cars, there was a number of Supercars doing parade laps around Berkley Square. Pilled in with the collection of Supercars, was a mix of the usual London traffic. Lorries, taxis, cars, London buses and tour buses, were all looking very out of place and confused as to what was going on! Passengers were peering out of windows and marveling at the show of vehicles, whilst drivers honked at the waiting crowd. There was even the odd luxury vehicle accidentally joining the parade as they went about their day! Not surprising considering the location though. HR Owens Rolls Royce showroom on Berkley Square was the first to open and a superb location for Supercar Sunday.
This event was bigger and better then the last and we cannot wait for next year!
