Motoring : Multi-Million Pound Car Park At The Pistonheads Show

Some of the world’s most exotic supercars, worth the national debt of a small country, will be on display at the PistonHeads Show next month to make visitors drool; and that’s just in the Members’ Car Display! The PistonHeads Show is part of the Autosport International Show, which takes place from 8-11 January 2009 at the Birmingham NEC.

The Members’ Car Display will contain a multi-million pound line-up of machinery that has re-written the rules of the motoring world, as their owners flock to the first major motoring event of 2009. Many of the cars would be worthy of a stand inside the show to themselves, but you can see them all under one roof, a car park more exclusive than the lot underneath a Monte Carlo casino…

The PistonHeads Members’ Car Display will feature a great mix of supercars, alongside more down-to-earth performance cars. A Porsche 993 Turbo, Ginetta G27 and Porsche-developed Audi RS2 are just a few of the more affordable cars on show.

As always a healthy contingent of TVRs will be a highlight of the PistonHeads Car Display, with twelve scheduled to make the trip to Birmingham; including a very rare production prototype of the Sagaris, and one of the first Griffiths.

If you enjoy looking out for real continental rarities, then you’ll relish the Venturi 300 Atlantique and De Tomaso Guara, while for those into cars from the other side of the Atlantic, there’ll also be a Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper, as well as a Dodge Challenger fresh from the States.

“Once more we’ve been fortunate to have some fantastic support from our members, proving the point that individuals can contribute as much to the show as exhibitors with some amazing machinery,” said PistonHeads Show Director Dave Ryan. “The Members’ Car Display will contain a genuine
multi-million pound line-up and it makes fascinating viewing, which is not something that you can say about most car parks in this country!”

Tickets to the show are now on sale; general admission to the PistonHeads Show costs £29 for adults and £19 for children aged five to 15, and includes entrance to the Autosport International show as well as a 34-page souvenir brochure.

A Platinum Club pass, at £100, includes all the benefits of the Paddock Pass plus exclusive access to the VIP enclosure at the very top of the Live Action Arena grandstand, complete with champagne and canapés. You will also receive complimentary parking, cloakroom at the NEC plus a goodie bag.
