Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance 2017
21st Annual Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance
The 2017 Radnor Hunt Concours truly featured something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, pedal cars, tractors or horses and carriages, you'd have found it here. It was an incredible collection of vehicles and people who gathered to share their mutual interest while raising money for a good cause. Radnor Hunt proceeds are donated to nearby Thorncroft Equestrian Therapy, which helps individuals with disabilities and recovering from accidents through their program.
This year Radnor Hunt welcomed special guest Gavin Trippe, a 2005 inductee into the American Motorcyclist Association Hall of Fame. Trippe received that recognition for his contribution to the sport for his exceptional work as a journalist, publisher, promoter and creator of Super Moto.
Nearly 100 Auburn, Cord and Duesenbergs plus Abarth and the cars of Roger Penske covered the showfield this year. Motorcycle classes included Century Cycles (1896-1917), Inter-War Elegance (1918-1940) and Post-War European Sporting (1946-1990). Additionally, this year, RHC displayed a collection of Victorian Era Bicycles, Antique Pedal Cars and Vintage Tractors.
