The 100 Motorcars of Radnor Hunt is a nationally recognized motor car event, first organized in 1997 by Michael G. Tillson, III, a Governor and Master of the Hounds of the Radnor Hunt and a recognized expert on the subject of classic, sports, and racing cars.
Michael Tillson and several of the present committee members of the Concours played major roles in the organization and supervision of the Fairmount Park Vintage Grand Prix events that were held from 1990 to 1995. Featuring several hundred vintage sports racing cars, these four-day racing weekends honored the memory of the famous Fairmount Park races that took place in Philadelphia’s vast Fairmount Park system during the period of the First World War. At the time, the Fairmount Park races were the premier racing events in the United States, comparable in scope and reputation to the later Vanderbilt Cup races and the Indianapolis races of the 1920s and 1930s.
It was Michael Tillson’s concept to stage an elegant invitational classic car event on the spacious, historic grounds of the Radnor Hunt in Chester County that would compare to the elegance and quality of such national events as the annual Pebble Beach Concours.
The Concours far removed from the typical “car show.” An invitational, the cars are carefully and individually selected to represent an educational and aesthetic experience for guests. There is a balance between historic, classic, sports and performance racing cars.
The Concours has its own unique ambience, combining the most relaxed qualities of an English garden party with a celebration of the cars that have written memorable chapters in the history of the motor car.
