THE CLASSIC CAR SHOW: FIRST EPISODE AIRS 7PM, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 5TH ON CHANNEL 5

The first episode of landmark global TV series, The Classic Car Show, will air at 7pm, Thursday February 5th on Channel 5  

The 13 x one-hour series is presented by Quentin Willson and Jodie Kidd with a supporting cast of global A-list celebrities. The Classic Car Show celebrates the iconic cars, personalities and glamorous events of the classic car world, tapping into the multi-billion pound industry that has seen classic car values rise faster than modern art and property
 
A ground-breaking new peak-time TV series, The Classic Car Show captures the passion, glamour and remarkable stories of the multi-billion pound global classic car industry. It is hosted by Britain’s most renowned classic car journalist and ex-Top Gear presenter, Quentin Willson and supermodel and racing driver, Jodie Kidd. 
Over a series of 13 x one-hour episodes, The Classic Car Show will delve deeper than any series before into the phenomenon of the classic car - a remarkable world in which 50-year-old Ferraris can sell for more than $50m.
Feature stories from around the globe will include Quentin Willson celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang in California, Jodie Kidd in a Jaguar XK120 at the Mille Miglia rally in Italy and resident racer Bruno Senna putting 10 classics through their paces on the track at the legendary Brooklands circuit.
As well as stars in cars with seven-figure price tags, The Classic Car Show will show you how to feel like a million dollars for under £5,000. Alex Riley, fresh from his Celebrity Mastermind win, channels his inner Simon Templar with a feature on the Jaguar XJS from The Saint. Face of 4Music, Will Best, will show that motorsport isn’t just for the well-heeled, when he tries low-cost high-fun classic car sprints. Factor in Quentin Willson picking the classics to buy now before their values go stratospheric and you’ve got compelling family viewing.
Presented from an underground studio at the Brooklands racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey, The Classic Car Show is an entertaining, peak-time TV series, not just for those who can tell a Ferrari 250 GTO from a 275 GTB, but for the whole family, encompassing humour, attitude and charm 
The Classic Car Show website is live at www.classiccarshow.com which features the opening titles and trailer embedded on Vimeo. The main website will be live 10 days before first episode is aired and will follow the content of the show on a weekly basis.
In a partnership with Aston Martin, who are providing an Aston Martin V8 Vantage and performance driving course as our competition prize for the series. The winner will visit Aston Martin’s HQ before being presented with their car at the VIP customer handover facility.
