Wilton House Supercar Show Is Back

Mark 14 August in your diary, as the biggest supercar show in, er, Salisbury returns!

---

Fans of supercars and stately homes rejoice – the Wilton House supercar show is back on Saturday 14 August for you to indulge your twin passions.

Even if you don’t particularly like stately homes, the Wilton House show is a definite must-see, as it’s a chance to get up close and personal with genuine supercar royalty.

Last year, thousands of people turned up to see all sorts of supercar loveliness lined up in front of Lord Pembroke’s stately pile, the highlights of which included Ferrari Enzos and F40s, all the Lamborghinis you could wish for (including a Miura), a McLaren F1 and the good Lord’s very own Bugatti Veyron.

This year the line-up should be just as strong, with Paganis, Bugattis, a Carrera GT - and many other hypercars - in the pipeline. There will also be a rev-off at 2pm, a unique chance to experience what competing V6s, flat-sixes,V8s, V10s, V12, and W16s sound like when they’re all howling in unison (bloody loud would be our guess).

Beyond the supercar fun, there will also be 700 parking spaces for more down-to-earth PH metal (call it a Saturday Service), and a ‘motor show’ with high-end dealers and trade stands (entry for this will be free for PHers).

Like last year, you will have to pay to get access to the supercar paddock and stately home, with tickets at £10 for adults, £5 for under 14s and free for under 5s. There are also family tickets (two adults, two children), priced at £25 (though these are only available in advance).

It’s all for a good cause, though, in support of the Salisbury District Hospital Stars Appeal, a local charity headed by Lord Pembroke.

Last year 6000 eager supercar fans turned up, and this year we’re reliably informed that there’s been ‘significantly more interest’ in the event, so the 10,000 available tickets could go quickly.

If you fancy it, then get it booked in advance – you can buy Wilton House tickets via this link – although tickets will be available on the gate.

Sounds good.

Might take the Box of Frogs up to Salisbury for the day, although it would be a shame to show the supercars up!

Anyone thinking of heading up from the west country?

[E21_Ross]

will almost certainly be going to this one!

Gav,

last year quite a few of us from PH South West went along - we met in Exeter, Taunton, wsm and Swindon then met as one at Warminster services for the final convoy to Wilton

Superb! Sounds good.

If you can take the ignominy of having the Box of Frogs tagging along, I'll be there. If not, I'll bring the Audi!

I'll be joining the A30 at the Sourton junction/A386 (Shell garage).

I turned up for the first one last year and enjoyed it so much that i said to myself i'm going to the second.

and by the looks of things i'm deffenatly going again this year. just need to get my tickets a bit quicker this time and i'm sorted.

[MrTappets]

Can't wait! Now I just have to work out how on earth to get there!

[David87]

I'll definitely be going along to this! Missed out on last year and shan't be making the same mistake again!

[Dr Z]

Bugger! I live close by, but I'm away on holiday. Would love to have met some PHers too.

[TVRWannabee]

Count me in!!!

I was there last year, mentioned it to a number of friends and should be there mob-handed this time!!!

And this is precisely why we're advising that PHers buy their tickets in advance.

[Gummy Sagoo]

Do you want to display my 206 GTI 180?

[LukeBird]

Will have to see if I can get Leave for that day.

[Miles Perry]

So long as it doesn't rain I will be there, may meet up with the south west guys for the convoy.
It would be rude of me not to put these "super cars" in their place with my little 1.3 Westfield at 395 bhp per ton!

So, how do people on PH get into the trade area? Just say your on the forum?

Ah, good point. I will toddle off and do that then.

[David87]

Right, tickets booked! Not sure whether to book a hotel for the Friday night or drive down from Essex in the morning.

It's down to how the ticket booths/parking areas are laid out.
