Considering it is one of four bodied by Vignale and only 22 first-series 250 Europas were ever made, it\u2019s one of the rarest road-going 50s Ferraris in existence.Aside from coming runner-up in the Owner\u2019s Choice award, it took home the Best Interior Pre-1970 award and a trophy for Outstanding Coachwork.The Ladies\u2019 Choice was a stylish 1952 Ferrari 342 America, while an immaculate 2004 Ferrari Enzo was gifted the Chairman’s Award.Another key award winner was one of 17 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Coupe Aerodinamico models, which is regarded by enthusiasts to be the finest restored example in existence, took home the Marquis of Blandford Award.Salon Priv\u00e9 managing director Andrew Bagley said: \u201cMaking our place in Concours history, this year\u2019s inaugural Concours Masters event paid tribute to one of the most important sports car manufacturers in the world \u2013 Ferrari.\u201cI am indebted to the amazing Salon Priv\u00e9 team, Chubb Insurance our sponsor once again, the wonderful owners of these magnificent Ferraris, all of which have travelled from around the world and, most importantly, the Marlborough family and Blenheim Palace for helping make the event such a success.\u201dFull list of winners:Owner’s Choice: 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta TdFOwner’s Choice Runner-up: 1953 Ferrari 250 Inter-Europa Vignale CoupeLadies’ Choice: 1952 Ferrari 342 AmericaChairman’s Award: 2004 Ferrari EnzoMarquis of Blandford Award: 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Coupe AerodinamicoPeople’s Choice: 1964 Ferrari 500 SuperfastSurvival of the Fittest: 1949 Ferrari 166 Inter CoupeMost Sensitive Restoration: 1971 Dino 246 GTPiu Elegante ’50s: 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California SpiderPiu Elegante ’60s: 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Coupe AerodinamicoPiu Elegante ’70s: 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta BoxerPassione Award: 1971 Dino 246 GTMost Exciting Design: 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari ApertaBest Interior Pre-1970: 1953 Ferrari 250 Inter-Europa Vignale CoupeBest Interior Pre-2000: 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta BoxerBest Interior Post-2000: 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale Tailor-MadeSpirito Award: 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB4\/C Daytona CompetitionSinfonia Award: 2004 Ferrari 575M GTCBest Competition Car: 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB4\/C Daytona CompetitionBest Challenge Car: 2017 Ferrari 488 ChallengeOutstanding 4-Cylinder: 1956 Ferrari 500 TROutstanding 6-Cylinder: 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTSOutstanding 8-Cylinder: 1990 Ferrari F40 GTOutstanding 12-Cylinder: 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB BerlinettaWind in Your Hair Pre-1970: 1966 Ferrari 365 CaliforniaWind in Your Hair Post-1970: 1997 Ferrari F355 SpiderOutstanding Coachwork: 1953 Ferrari Inter-Europa Vignale CoupeBest Supercar Award: 1996 Ferrari F50Best Hypercar Award: 2015 Ferrari LaFerrariStreamlining Award: 1963 Ferrari 250 GT LussoLa Dolce Vita Award: 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California SpiderSpirit of Racing: 1991 Ferrari 642 F1"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Supercars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Ferrari\u2019s 70th year celebrated at Salon Priv\u00e9","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/ferraris-70th-year-celebrated-salon-prive\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
