Aston Martin’s most extreme front-engine road car will take centre stage at a car show this weekend.
The Aston Martin Valiant was commissioned by Formula 1 great Fernando Alonso.
The 5.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 car will line up alongside more than 100 vintage classic cars and supercars at Netherby Hall’s annual event, which will be held in the grounds of the Grade II* listed historic house in Longtown, near Carlisle, on August 2 and 3.
The event will run from 10am to 4pm on both days.
The Valiant is being brought to the show by event sponsors Aston Martin Edinburgh, who will be joined this year by their colleagues from the Newcastle branch.
They will showcase demonstrator cars including the DB12 Coupe, Vantage coupe, V12 Vanquish, Vantage Roadster and their Polestar models.
Kim Capstick, director of operations at Netherby Hall, said: “The Netherby Hall Car Show attracts thousands of motoring fans from across the country and that is because we showcase some top of the range supercars and vintage vehicles which appeal to a wide range of interests.
“You know you’re in for a treat when Aston Martin declare the Valiant as its most extreme front-engine road car, and we’re delighted our long-term sponsors and supporters Aston Martin Edinburgh are bringing such an impressive vehicle along to the show.”
Visitors to the Netherby Hall Car Show will be able to see performance and supercars on Saturday, while the classic and vintage vehicles with a registration before the year 2000 will be showcased on Sunday.
