We have the best manufacturers from around the world mixed in with a lot of luxury brands. It's an experience, so great food, great hospitality, champagne all day long, what's not to like?" 4.

Probably I would say upwards of 130, 140 cars. How much they're worth, impossible to say, because there are two or three on here that are worth whatever you would pay for them. There are cars on the lawn here that are no longer for sale, cars that are sold out, the Ferrari Daytona for example, the Pininfarina Battista Anniversario behind me. Many, many, many, many millions of pounds worth of cars." 6. Reveal of the Morgan Super 3 by Morgan Motor Company 7. Reveal of the Prodrive Hunter, by Prodrive 8. Reveal of Ferrari Daytona SP3 9.

Back when they were making the cars in the 1950s, they had certain compromises that they had to make to the car in the way they manufactured the car. And we've been able to use modern manufacturing techniques to try to change that and improve it. So, for example, the original cars had seams running all the way along the length of the car. We've been able to remove those seams, which allows you to really appreciate the form of the vehicle." 14. Various of Austin Healey by Caton 15. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Strafford, CEO, Invisage Group: "It's always had a petrol engine. There is a real emotional side to driving a car with a petrol engine, the noise that you get, it's very visceral. And I think when everybody switching to electric, there's something that people really enjoy about enjoying that kind of petrol engine as well. So I think there's definitely a market for both. There's definitely a market for electric classics, but there's also definitely a market for cars like this." 16. Various of reveal of Electric Mustang by Charge Cars, making its public world debut 17. Electric Mustang spinning on podium 18. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Roberts, Chief Creative Officer, Charge Cars: "People want to drive design icons. Soon, it's going to be more and more difficult. And with this car, clearly it's a zero emissions car. It's it's full of the latest technology." 19. Various of Electric Mustang 20. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Roberts, Chief Creative Officer, Charge Cars "It's had its toll on the whole industry, yes. We've worked through all of it and we now have this production intent vehicle, so we're in a good place now. We're warming up to production. We start building customer cars later in the year, start delivering them early next year. So yes, it's affected us, but it's not stopping us progressing, at quite a considerable rate now." 22.
