The Revival car parks were over-flowing with rare and evocative metal. These were the best I stumbled upon. Oh - and as you'll read on the link below, a McLaren F1 makes an Exige look unbelievably crude by comparison.

Loads more photos and some narrative here: http://www.motorcardiaries.co.uk/spotted/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mate, that is the very tip of the iceberg. If I'd stopped to photograph every Ferrari and Aston Martin I'd never have made it to the circuit! You can actually access the pre-73 car park and various amenities without paying entry. If I wasn't so hooked on the racing, I'd be sorely tempted. It'd be a good afternoon out in its own right.

You could easily spend a whole day in the pre 73 car park and still not see everything in there. I saw that F1 on Saturday parked next to the Exige and didn't realise what it was at first! There was one of the new 3 wheel morgans parked a couple of cars to the left of them as well

I spotted it from the other end of the car park and literally skipped over - I couldn't believe what I was seeing! That is Gordon Murray's personal car. Same size as an Exige but with three seats, plenty of luggage space and a 621bhp V12. Amazing!

Nope, just the bare Aluminium. It was in the pre 73 car park
