As you might expect, there’s a significant portion of the race track and paddocks set to be taken up by sportscars from MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, Jaguar and Lotus. These staples of the classic car world in Britain are still a lovely sight to behold whenever you see one on the roads, so to find so many together in one place will surely stir some patriotic fervour on this most British of weekends.
Supplementing them will be cars from Ford – yes, an American brand, but for so many years at the heart of the UK car industry with its own distinct UK arm – Rover, Vauxhall, Morris and Land Rover. The companies that provided Britain with its day-to-day workhorses may have been commonplace on tour roads, but their impact on our motoring landscape should not be underestimated.
At the more exotic end of the spectrum, you can expect to see many machines from Aston Martin’s Gaydon workshops as well as our close neighbours at Rolls-Royce and their former brethren from Crewe, Bentley. Relative upstart McLaren has seen such a meteoric rise in its decade-or-so of life as a regular production company that its machines take up a significant part of the line-up, while stalwarts including TVR and Morgan will be on show as well.
