HAUTE WHEELS

Although Malvern’s Radnor Hunt is best known on the Main Line as a hub of the bluebloode­d equestrian set, each September some of the world’s most coveted collectibl­e cars put it in park to vie for Best of Show in the Radnor Hunt Concours d’elegance. The three- day event kicks off on Friday with a barbecue and features a 150- car road rally through Chester County horse country and a black-tie gala on Saturday. But Sunday is when the automotive splendor is on full display for The 100 Motor Cars of Radnor Hunt, a world- class automotive competitio­n on par with the Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Concours. “This year we’re featuring the race cars of Roger Penske and Abarth automobile­s,” says Mike Tillson, chairman and founder of the Radnor Hunt Concours. According to Tillson, this year’s must- see model is the 1960 Porsche Abarth— a collaborat­ion between Porsche and Italian coach builder Carlo Abarth— with only 21 cars known to have been produced.
