Chelsea Autolegends Press Preview
Ian and Tara enjoyed a sneak preview of what this years Chelsea Autolegends motorsports show has to offer. This exciting event being held for the 3rd year within the prestigious grounds of the Royal Hospital Gardens at Chelsea sees the return of an enthralling mixture of cars, fashion and food; all in walking distance of the urban cool Kings Road.
Jodie Kidd joined the eagerly awaiting journalists as around 25 cars were unveiled within the hospital grounds, giving a taster of the special and unique collection of cars that are drawn to this event that exudes passion for all things automotive. This years show promises to deliver style, entertainment and excitement. Attractions for 2012 include Stars Cars, 70s Cool, Le Mans and Formula One Celebration Tributes, Fast Ladies, Techno Park and Restoration Corner.
Ian was happy to help support the launch of this years event by taking along the much coveted 250GTL Lusso, fresh from its victory at Crystal palace last weekend. Alongside the Lusso were many other examples of motoring beauty such as an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Lamborghini Murcielago and a Maserati Grand Turismo Spider to name but a few.
John Reaks and his Benetton racing team raised a few pulses when he fired up his F1 car, formerly raced by Nelson Piquet. If the press preview was anything to go by the event on Sunday 2nd September 2012 will be one not to be missed as well as providing great support to the Walking with the Wounded charity.
