Wilton Classic and Supercars 2012 - 05/08/12

New additions to this year's 'Best of British' event announced



Wilton Classic and Supercars returns on Sunday 5th August when once again Lord Pembroke will allow a great collection of classic and current supercars to park on his lawn alongside a host of trade stands and other attractions. This year sees an increase in display cars, air displays, more trade and club stands and the addition of a dedicated classic car display area. McLaren are now sponsers for 2012, so expect it to be a significant presence over the weekend.

V12 Zagato now confirmed for Wilton House

As many of you will know, the format is simple yet effective, with a parade of supercars arriving on site at 12.00, and with over 200 cars expected on the day you can be sure it will be a sight (and sound) to behold. Thes then arrange themselves on the lawn to be admired. Alongside the house will be a range of classic cars from dealers and car clubs alike in addition to the EFG International paddock and as the show has a theme of 'Best of British' you can be sure to see some excellent cars from E-Types to the MP4-12C. Aston Martin are embracing this theme by bringing a new V12 Vantage Zagato and a James Bond-spec DBS to Wilton House.

The entertainment isn't just on the ground either; there will be an aerobatic display from a Lynx helicopter at around 3 p.m. An Apache helicopter is also provisionally booked, and we'll keep you up to date with the progress of its availability.

Tickets for the event are now on sale and prices are as follows:

-Adult Ticket - £12 in advance and £15 on the day
-Child Ticket (5-15) £5.60 in advance and £7 on the day

Premium tickets are also available priced at £30 for adults and £15 for children and this ticket type is only available in advance. Premium tickets include entry to the event in addition to VIP parking, entry into the Italianate Garden Enclosure overlooking the classic car display area including the Deckerdence bus offering licensed bar and food and a tour of the State Rooms of Wilton House.

More details on ticket options, the event itself and booking details can be found here.

PistonHeads will have a dedicated parking area on the day in an area adjacent to the trade area which leads to the house itself. To register your intention to park in the PH area please add your name to the calendar list here to help us manage numbers.

Winner was the yellow Ferrari 512 - I want to say 127.7 from memory. Chris' enzo was 126.6
Strange....the Enzo was louder last year? My Car hit 128 DB and Chris hit 131 if memory serves me correctly?
