The fifth annual Wilton Classic and Supercar will take place on Sunday, August 4. The event – which is staged in the grounds of Wilton House, near Salisbury, Wiltshire – brings together classic cars and supercars in a “garden party†setting.
Lord Pembroke, owner of Wilton House, founded Wilton Classic and Supercar in 2009 with Jay Broom, a supercar events organiser. As in previous years, the 2013 event promises a range of attractions for both car fans and families.

More than 200 supercars will be on display, including models from Aston Martin, Bugatti, Ferrari and McLaren. Unusual sights will include a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a Porsche Carrera GT and a number of Pagani Zondas.
Among the classic cars on display will be a 1964 Facel Vega II that was first owned by Ringo Starr and a 1937 Bugatti Type 46 Super Profile Coupe.
