Mon-Fri 9am to 5.30pm
Each one-hour episode of The Classic Car Show will look in depth at the classic car phenomenon; in fact, in a world where 50-year-old Ferraris can sell for more than $50m, they will be looking in-depth at the attraction of vintage vehicles.
Sir Stirling Moss, 16 times a Grand Prix winner, Mille Miglia winner and voted the greatest all round racing driver of all time said: “What they are doing with this show is impressive. It is going to introduce the world of classic cars to a whole new global audience.”
Cherry Yeandle, Acquisitions Executive, Factual, Channel 5, commented: “The Classic Car Show is a truly groundbreaking series. No one has ever treated classic cars in this way – and that’s why we’re incredibly excited to be screening the show in the UK. This is prime-time TV, packed full of the world’s most amazing classic cars, glamorous locations and A-list celebrities. It’s must-see viewing, not just for car lovers, but the whole family.”
And this is backed up by Jim Wiseman, Series Producer and Director of The Classic Car Show: “Channel 5 really wanted entertainment – and that’s exactly what we’ll be bringing into viewers’ living rooms. The Classic Car Show is the programme I’ve always wanted to make. We’ve spent the last year travelling the globe, delving deep into the glamorous world of classic cars. The show is a unique mix of fantastically engaging stories about the allure of classics, from those owned by Hollywood icons, through action packed historic racing, to a car hoarding family from Hampshire.”
Quentin Willson is not only the presenter, but also the Executive Producer, and he is looking forward to getting The Classic Car Show out onto the screens of fans of all cars – not just Classic cars: “I’m delighted that Channel 5 will be showing The Classic Car Show. The global growth in classic cars, not just in terms of auction prices of high-end Ferraris, but the sheer number of people who share the passion, has driven the creation of The Classic Car Show. No-one has done what we are doing ever before. We've got gorgeous cars, passionate stories, an extraordinary filming budget and endless enthusiasm. The Classic Car Show is an amazing, insightful series without a socket set in sight.”
