Exhibits include the biggest McLaren display anywhere, the replica twin-engined Alfa Romeo Bimotore, Jim Clark’s winning Lotus 25, a flat-12 Ferrari and two 1922 TT Sunbeams, sidevalve and twin-cam A7s, 8CM Maserati, V16 BRM, Williams FW14B, and the quite fabulous V12 Auto Union, right up Tom’s replica Bugatti Royale which he has driven for some 10,000 miles, I believe.
