I saw a picture floating around facebook in the last few days from one of the esprit sites .
it looks like they have brought the cars back to blighty.

I saw a Top Gear display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu last year (attended in the GTE with the Vauxhall Drivers Club). They had quite a few cars on display from the 'specials' including the remains of the boat challenge, MGF limousine and the other poor Lotus that was made submersible to replicate the James Bond film.

The TG exhibition looked temporary to me - does anyone know if it travels around, and where. More to the point, would the South East Massive (others more than welcome) want to go on a mini-road trip down there sometime if it was possible to arrange some 'special' parking on site?

Hi,
I could be wrong, but I went several years ago and although I agree the exibition looks temp, I think it is a permanent fixture. I found it sad to see what they had done to the vehicles in the name of entertainment
