british international motor show
july 2008

So much to see, this event needs more than a day to get around everything. Initially distracted by a new style Quad Bike stand, we made our way through to the manufacturers area and were suprised by a few entries. Stands I wouldn't normally linger at, produced some of the best concept cars. If any of these make production, we could see some low volume manufactures become front runners.

One product that was difficult to absorb was a new Lotus Elise fettled in the Sates to produce a quicker car than Lotus themselves, and all this through the power of electricity. Telsa claim a 220 mile range, 3.5 hour recharge and a staggering 0-60 sprint in 3.9 seconds!

ultimate collection

Above the main hall is "The Ultimate Colection" which not many people would have the pleasure in experienceing at £99 a ticket. Champagne reception and canepes and up close and personal with some of the finest cars available today.

sunseeker

Lined up on the Thames outside, Sunnseeker had a magnificent display of their latest range. Both 58 & 65ft yachts were open to the public, we went one stage further and toured the Private 85ft waiting for delivery to Austrailia.
