The event was held at Wilton House, stately home of the Earl of Pembroke, just west of Salisbury. In only it's second year of being held, the number and variety of cars on show was incredible, this was helped enormously by being in association with Pistonheads, who had a large car park just for those that had a Pistonheads symbol in their car. If only I had known!
Some shots to whet your appetite:
    
Abarth
No show report would be the same without an Abarth at the start! This one is a new 500C, though it did look a little under-wheeled on 16's.
AC
The blue one was definately an original, the red one I'm sure wasn't
 
Alfa Romeo
Very few considering this is a very special year for the marque
 
Alpina
Just the one, a D3. Usual spec: poverty!
 
Aerial
A couple of Atoms
 
Aston Martin
V8 Vantage
 
V12 Vantage
DB9, with a very unattractive two-tone matt wrap
DBS
  
Ascari
A very early Ecosse
   
Audi
RS2
RS4 Avant
S5 Sportback
R8 V8
   
V8 Supercharged
V10
Bentley
GTC '51'
 
Continental Supersports
It was thought that the rear seats were deleted in the Supersports model to save weight, however the white car had rear seats. It was subsequently discovered that rear seats are actually a £3170 option! The interior was stunning though.

BMW
An old E30 convertible
E34 M5
Z3M roadster
Z4M Coupe

M1 - quite a surprise. A little tatty but still so desirable
   
Bristol
Though unsure of which model!
 
Bugatti
We think that this Veyron is the Earl's own car
 
Corvette
An older car, a C5 I think, and a newer Z06
  
Dodge

The silver car is a 'standard' 5.7, the oranger car is the full-fat 6.1.
