The motoring experts at Thorough Events and Octane magazine will be curating a collection of 80 of the world’s most incredible cars, ranging from the latest supercars to legends of Formula One and Le Mans. Alongside the luxury vehicles on display will be showcases from a range of other luxury partners, including a Taittinger Champagne bar and high-end watchmakers, Breguet.
