Well worth going to.

If you come to this show then you can see Top Gear Live, but it costs extra !

Q: Will my Classic Motor Show ticket get me into the Top Gear Motoring Theatre?
A: Your Classic Motor Show ticket allows you entry into The Classic Motor Show and, as a bonus, it also allows free entry into the neighbouring MPH Show in Hall 5 (the Prestige and Performance Motor Show), but it does not include a seat in the Top Gear Live Theatre. If you wish to experience the Top Gear Live Theatre then it is strongly advised that you book a Top Gear Live ticket in advance, as availability on the door is highly unlikely due to demand.

Our favourite car at this show was this piece of technical brillance.
It's an MG Midget fitted with a Rover 3-5 litre V8 mated to a Ford Sierra XR4 X 4 four wheel drive system.

Wingnut and Sir Alec Issigonis.
It would make a great avatar.
