1934 Avions Voisin Type C27 Aerosport -Top Hampton Court Prize

The 1934 Avions Voisin Type C27 Aerosport Coupe owned by Peter and Merle Mullin, of Mullin Automotive Museum fame, took home the prestigious “Best of Show” award at the Hampton Court Concours of Elegance, which was held at the Hampton Court Palace on September 5, 2021.

The Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace showcases many of the very rarest and finest old cars to be found in the UK. The historic palace was once home to Henry VIII, and this year’s show had a special royal connection.

This year, the concours celebrated the Queen’s 95th birthday with a display of 95 iconic British cars including a 1926 Bentley 4 1/2 Litre to the very latest 2021 Lotus Evija.

The “Best in Show” award is the highest award to be presented, and was presented by Prince Michael of Kent to Merle Mullin of the Mullin Automotive Museum.

“We are honoured to receive such an esteemed award as Best of Show,” said Mullin Automotive Museum founder Peter Mullin. “The Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace is a world-renowned automotive display and to have one of our cars recognized there is an immense privilege.”

This coachbuilt 1934 Avions Voisin Type C27 Aerosport Coupe is the second of just two such cars designed by Gabriel Voisin in collaboration with architect André Noel-Noel Telmont. It was initially displayed at the 1935 Geneva and Madrid Auto Shows and owned by Telmont. Following World War II, the car changed hands between a number of notable collectors including Jean Kisling, son of painter Moise Kisling, and Renault Sport founder Jacques Terramorsi before disappearing in the 1950s.

The Aerosport was rediscovered later on by Philipp Moch who, in 2004, commissioned a two-year restoration using just three photographs of the car in period. It was sold to Peter Mullin in 2010 and has remained in the Mullin Automotive Museum collection since.
