The third annual Harrogate Concourse attracted huge crowds of car enthusiasts as almost 100 classic vehicles and high-powered sports cars rolled into the town centre.

The Yorkshire Veteran Car Run teamed up with Harrogate-based Apollo Capital to put on a stunning display of high-value vehicles including an extremely rare £3 million Aston Martin Valkyrie.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one the most advanced hypercars ever created, the F1-inspired machine produces over 1,100 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain and is capable of revving beyond 11,000rpm. 

Only 150 road-going examples were ever built, and it took its place alongside such cars as a Bugatti Veyron, a Ferrari SF90 XX, and a host of other rare and highly sought-after performance cars. 

The veteran cars were organised by antique car enthusiasts, Daniel and Adam Ward.

Founded in 2020 by CEO Andy King and Managing Director David Moss, the Apollo Capital team are experts in luxury, supercar, hypercar and classic car finance.

Their section of Saturday’s event was also held as a fundraiser for their charity partner, the Martin House Children’s Hospice, which had volunteers on hand throughout the day collecting funds.

Managing Director David Moss commented:

“The third annual Apollo Capital Harrogate Concours has exceeded all expectations.

"Seeing thousands of people lining the streets of Harrogate to enjoy such an extraordinary collection of vehicles was a fantastic sight and a testament to the growing reputation of the event. 

“Events like this are only possible because of the incredible support we receive from our partners and sponsors.

“We’d also like to thank The Yorkshire Hotel for hosting us and, most importantly, everyone who attended and donated in support of Martin House Children’s Hospice.

"Together, we’ve created something very special for Harrogate while raising valuable awareness and funds for an exceptional cause.”

CEO Andy King commented:

“The calibre of vehicles on display this year was truly remarkable.

“The enthusiasm from visitors, owners, sponsors and volunteers demonstrates just how powerful community-led events can be when everyone comes together behind a great cause."
