Philip to curate a display at the London Classic Car Show

6/12/2017

 
Picture
Philip is to curate a special ‘Getaway Cars’ display at the 2018 London Classic Car Show at ExCeL London (15-18 February). 
​
Famous for ‘firing up’ the Audi quattro when acting as throwback DCI Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes – Phil will be maximising his insider police knowledge to bring together this showcase of cars as chosen by notorious crooks to evade the law whether on celluloid or in real life.

Vehicles already on the shortlist include a number of criminal classics such as the MK1 Transit van, Jaguar Mark 2, Sierra Cosworth Sapphire and, perhaps, even a Mini Cooper S as famously employed by Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) and his gang to escape from the Carabinieri di Torino in the original Italian Job movie.

“We will take our inspiration from TV, films and real life,” said Phil who also co-presents Channel 4’s motoring show For the Love of Cars programme. “these cars need to be quick, handle well and, of course, have lots of room in the back. I’m sure we’ll have an iconic red quattro exhibited somewhere at the show, but this display will be about cars from the other side of the law. It’s pleasure to curate at such a special car show and where better to celebrate getaway cars than in East London at ExCel. Fire up the London Classic Car Show!”

Adding to the sense of drama, Phil's final selection will be showcased on a specially designed and arresting exhibition stand that will further both its visual impact and the visitor experience.

All those wishing to see the Getaway Car display at the 2018 London Classic Car Show can take advantage of significant discounts on offer for those booking in advance. If purchased now, adult admission costs just £25 (£30 on the door) and a range of upgraded Premium and Family Tickets are also available online.
​
Moreover, all tickets also include entry to the London Classic Car Show’s sister show Historic Motorsport International, which celebrates the UK’s leading role in all areas of historic motor sport. Full details can be found on the show’s official website – thelondonclassiccarshow.co.uk.

Phil and Ant on tour...

30/7/2017

 
Philip was reunited with his 'For the Love of Cars' co-host this week as they attend both the Jimmy's Farm Festival and the Silverstone Classic Car event. 

​At Jimmy's Farm, they enjoyed food, music and experienced the joy of a helter-skelter while at the Silverstone Classic Phil had to watch on in horror as Ant flipped his car during the celebrity challenge race. Luckily, Ant sustained only minor injuries, but it was all very dramatic.

Is there more For the Love of Cars on the way?

3/6/2017

 
It seems there could be... but Phil's co-star Ant Anstead is remaining tight lipped. 

​Maybe we should explain...

​Our Phil-senses began tingling this morning when we noticed that the official Twitter account for 'For the Love of Cars' retweeted a tweet they'd posted themselves back in November 2016 - shortly after the Lotus special aired. 
Picture
Naturally, we retweeted and then we fired off a cheeky text to Ant asking if we should read anything into the fact that a tweet posted 7 months ago had been retweeted by themselves that morning. 

​We had to wait a while for his reply - he's moved to LA now to work on another project - but a he did  eventually get back to us.  Not that his response really told us anything...
Picture
So, no concrete proof as yet but we're still hopeful and will, as always, bring you any more news about the future of the show as soon as we have it! And if you want to see more of Phil and Ant then go and retweet and let them know!

Phil and Ant film For the Love of Cars in the rain

18/6/2016

 
Phil and Ant were out filming for the special of For the Love of Cars in Kent yesterday. Not much is known about the segment they were filming except that they were driving a small convertible with no roof... in the rain.

Luckily, 6 year old Grace was on hand to provide the boys with some help - she loaned them her umbrella.

Ant tweeted the following photos, thanking Grace for the loan.
The boys will be back filming again at the Silverstone classic at the end of July - where Ant will race their restored car!
