The latest kit to tune and style your motor will be on show at Birmingham’s NEC when the British International Motor Show, sponsored by the Daily Telegraph, opens its doors to the public this October.
Names like Alpine, Bose, Comma Oil, Superchip and Tracker are already confirmed exhibitors, with more to be announced in the months to come.
As well as thumping subs and the latest alloys, the show will host some of the most mental metal available. Ferrari’s new Enzo, billed as quicker than a McLaren F1, makes its UK debut, and for those who like their motoring with an open air feel, look out for the new MGX powered Caterham Superlight R300.
Other confirmed corkers are the twin pairing of Ford’s Focus ST170 and Mondeo ST220 along with the Subaru WRX, Toyota Corolla T Sport, Vauxhall VX220 and the full line up of MG’s X-rated Z cars.
But why wait until October to get in on the Motor Show action? Fill your car up at participating Shell garages and you could be driving the car of your dreams come October.
Every time you fill up with Optimax Unleaded you’ll be given a packet of six special Motor Show Top Trump cards. There are 18 special Motor Show cards to collect with the lucky punter who collects them all selecting their prize model from more than 700 cars on show – up to 50 grand in value.
