Harrogate Supercar showcase hailed as "huge success"

Tuesday, 25 June 2024 13:17

The Supercar Showcase organised by Apollo Capital.

Harrogate's supercar showcase has been hailed a huge success after crowds flocked to see a parade of supercars over the weekend.

Fifteen of the most high-powered and high-value supercars roared their way into Harrogate town centre on Saturday (22nd June) as part of a unique automotive display organised in conjunction with the Veteran Car Tour of Yorkshire 2024.

While a series of pre-war vintage favourites were displayed on Montpellier Hill and Parliament Street, the modern luxury, super and hypercar powerhouses – organised by Apollo Capital – were lined up on the red carpet outside The Yorkshire Hotel.

Apollo Capital CEO Andy King, said:

“Saturday was a fantastic day for all involved and we would like to thank the owners, the organisers of the Veteran Car Tour, and the Harrogate public for making it such a special occasion.

“Apollo Capital has been involved in two Harrogate supercar events this year and both have been hugely popular with large crowds of car fans turning up to see the vehicles. Our next local event is on Hornbeam Park at our HQ on July 14th with Leeds Supercar Meet in aid of the Leeds Mind charity.”

Petrolheads of all ages were left in awe as the cars, with a combined value of circa £20m, included a Rolls Royce Ghost 1, McLaren Senna, a Porsche 911 GT3RS, 750S McLaren and a Rolls-Royce Spectre.

The vintage cars harked back to the Victorian age and featureda pedal-operated 1885 Rudge Quadricycle and an 1888 Truchetet Steam Car that was coal-fired.
