Motorshow Tomorrow!

Several significant debuts expected


This year's motorshow was moved to May in the hope that many manufacturers would debut cars in the UK rather than using other shows in Europe.

It's the UK's own manufacturers that are taking advantage of the show to do this however.

Noble will be showing their new M400 along with the 'M14' which is believed to be a finished version of the convertible shown a couple of years ago. Changes are rumoured to be significant compared with the concept car shown in 2002. The new M400 should also be present. The cars are due to be unveiled at 2:50pm.

Marcos will have the first production TS500 on show (owned by a PHer!) as well as a significant new car. No details are available at present as to what they have up their sleeve but we'll bring you details shortly after the debut at 3:10pm.

TVR are known for their Motor Show specials and we're led to believe that 2004 could be a big show for them. Revisions to the Tuscan are expected along with a production ready Sagaris. Speculation is that there's more to come as well.

Porsche will be showcasing their full GT line-up, led by the 612bhp Porsche Carrera GT supercar. In support will be the 911 GT2, 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS, and a 911 GT3 Cup racing car. In total, there will be nine Porsche 911 models on display, including the new 911 Turbo S (450bhp/ 457lb-ft) that is making its world premiere at Birmingham.

Check PistonHeads throughout Tuesday and we'll bring you the latest news as it happens.

Thanks Ted !

It's a bit early for the self employed home worker. I was under the impression from an article I read earlier that they would not be at the show.

Revisions to the Tuscan eh? Interesting!

I am looking forward to LOTS of pictures from all angles including interior shots Ted!

See if you can get Peter Wheeler to comment on Noble's dealer strategy if you know what I mean

TVR announcements ! - Maybe they will announce a Tuscan where bits don't fall off when it gets sunny and warm in the cabin.

Sorry - just had a bad experience recently !

Nice location for TVR. Surrounded by Porsche, RR, and Ferrari. Shouldn't be a problem to show that lot up
