Wilton Classic Supercar with Castrol Edge update

Supercars, classics, a country house, the whiff of high octane fuel and PH. What's not to love?

---

August 10 will see the sixth running of the Wilton Classic Supercar with Castrol Edge. For the uninitiated, this event is held in the grounds of Wilton House, the ancestral home of the car-loving Earl of Pembroke, and it combines the feel of a family friendly garden party with spectacle of supercars in procession and the elegance of classic cars.

This is guaranteed. Weather isn't

The organisers have laid on a really rather extraordinary collection of cars for you to ogle, some of which are very rarely seen in public. The line up reads like a lottery winner's wishlist and includes the one-off Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2, a Ferrari 250 SWB and no less than a dozen Jaguar XJ220s. Yep, 12. They've even got a McLaren P1 which - if you haven't heard - is "a whole new thing".

So, it is set to be a fantastic event and a must for any self respecting PHer. PH is proud to be the official media partner and as such we are going to be covering the event from start to finish.

What's more, we have over 650 PHers bringing their cars to display in our dedicated parking area. Here you can browse the special metal, have a chat and enjoy our very own private catering area. We've also enlisted the help of a crack team of eagle-eyed judges who will be on the lookout for the "most PH" car on show. The lucky recipient of this coveted accolade will be on the receiving end of both eternal recognition and a great prize in the shape of a V-Box Sport courtesy of the lovely people at RaceLogic. Best get those polishing cloths out...

Due to popular demand our dedicated PH parking area is now fully booked and even has a reserves list, but you can still come - tickets are on sale here.

More details are to be announced by Wilton over the coming days before the event - keep your eyes peeled!

I believe tickets need to be purchased in advance, but you can do this by clicking on the link towards the bottom of the article!

See you there!

Just checking: the article says 250 SWB, the picture says 250 TR. I've seen more of one than the other, hence my desire to confirm which is right!

[bluepony]

It's a TR. And it will be there!

[McAndy]

Hurrah!

Absolutely - We've also got a dedicated catering van too, so you wont have to queue up for too long to get a bacon sarnie!

See you there,

JD

[drgoatboy]

Brilliant! Thanks

[wca]

My car is being shown in the 100 Years of Maserati display so I can't park in the PHers car park. Can I still be considered for the most PH car and, more importantly, can I still get a bacon sarnie?

[chj]

Apart from having a ticket, do you need anything else to get into PH parking?

Thanks.

Oh I don't know, based on the Sunday Service lists, 40% will drop out the day before and another 10% just won't turn up at all on the day
