IT'S IN THE BLOOD
From the earliest days of motoring a hundred years ago, the Cholmondeley family has taken a keen interest in the finest vehicles that were being produced.
In particular, The Fifth Marquess and Marchioness were avid collectors and their amazing line up of iconic models included Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza and Rolls Royce.
A notable example was the Alfa Romeo 8C which the Marquess collected from Milan in 1932 and, travelling via his home in the South of France, it was immediately entered for a race from Paris to Nice, finishing 5th.
These extraordinary cars have graced the Cholmondeley Park drives over the years and it seems fitting that the romance of the period should be rekindled for a summer weekend in the shadow of this picturesque castle.
