The Talacrest Prince of Wales Championship Cup; Sunday 14 August; Guards Polo Club Horsepower & Pony Power Combine

With Talacrest as title sponsor, it was no surprise to see an array of fabulous Italian horsepower paraded in front of the spectators before the Final and packing out the car parks, with the cars curated by John Collins and his Talacrest team and the Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain who were also attending the day. Following on from the post-match presentations, an additional award saw the prize for the best Ferrari at the Club go to Nigel Chiltern-Hunt for his stunning F40.
