On Thursday, following a now consolidated tradition, Maserati welcomed a group of female clients who attended Salon Privé Ladies’ Day at Syon Park. Today, Syon House, which dates back to 1415, is the London home of the Duke of Northumberland and it has been in his family for over 400 years. Surrounded by 200 acres of its own parkland alongside the River Thames, it is hard to believe that Syon is barely 10 miles from central London.

The day started at Medicosmetic Spa in Cadogan Gardens, London, where clients enjoyed a champagne breakfast and personalised mini treatments of their choice. To make the event more special, a professional make-up artist from the Jemma Kidd make – up School, was there ready to pamper the ladies with express make-up sessions.

A fleet of GranCabrios, Quattroportes and GranTurismos were then on hand to chauffeur the ladies to Syon Park, where they were able to admire the cars on show. The 'best dressed' Maserati lady, Ms Melissa Lund, was awarded with a clutch bag kindly offered by the Parisian couture brand Ghadah Couture.

Throughout the day, the ladies were able to see a selection of classic cars, alongside the current Maserati range: the GranTurismo MC Stradale, flanked by the GranCabrio and the Quattroporte Sport GTS, took pride of place on the Supercar Lawn.
