Prost's 88 McLaren.

Beaulieu's not cheap (but they are doing a free re-visit within a year at the moment) but it's great this time of year as the crowds are small, towards the end of the day we pretty much had the main hall to ourselves and it enabled decent photo's and the chance to get up close to the cars. The staff were helpful too, with it so quiet, they were happy for you to cross the ropes and get right up to the exhibits.

Looks like well worth the visit.
main problem with the Classic Car show was by 10am, you've got no chance of taking any pics without people peering into your lens!

Now the better (pictorial) end of the thread...
