Celebrity chef James Martin
will be unveiling his magnificent collection of performance cars at the
inaugural PistonHeads Show next weekend at the Birmingham NEC.
The BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen
presenters collection, one of the best in the country, will be driven from home
in Hampshire to the Birmingham NEC, where it will take pride of place on January
11, 12 and 13.
James, who is also the Mail
on Sunday’s motoring correspondent, will be giving visitors the chance to admire
his machines which includes a Lotus 340R, a 1959 Chevy Corvette, an Aston Martin
DB5, a Shelby GT 350 Mustang, an Audi RS4, and a Jordan and Lola Formula One
car.
Nolan O’Connor, the
PistonHeads Show Group Marketing Manager, said: “It’s no exaggeration to say we
are over the moon that James has been able to take time out of his busy schedule
to indulge his passion for top performance cars at the PistonHeads
Show.
“When it comes to motoring,
James’ knowledge is first rate and his collection of cars is second to
none.”
