Top Gear cars on show at Beaulieu

By Kev Kiernan

Top Gear fans have the chance to take a look at three new cars featured in the Christmas edition of the show at an exhibition at Beaulieu in Hampshire.

The World of Top Gear will show off the vehicles that presenters’ Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson used in their 1,200-mile journey from Iraq to Bethlehem.

"We like to keep the exhibition as up to date as we possibly can and what could be better than for fans to see the show on TV and then the cars just a few days later," said Stephen Munn, commercial director at the National Motor Museum.

World of Top Gear features a collection of cars created by the presenters for some of their most ambitious challenges on the TV show over the years. Exhibition highlights include the Top Gear 'Enormodrome' which recreates the feel of the Top Gear studio where the TV show is filmed in front of a live audience.

Regular features from the programme, including the ‘Cool Wall’ and the celebrity 'Lap Times' boards, are kept up to date in line with the show. Visitors can also watch behind-the-scenes footage of the TG production zone and clips of some of the best Top Gear moments.
