Returning to the Hortons stand, Ben interviews his neighbor Martin Jordan of JARROTTS, a staple at motoring and car shows for over 20 years, renowned for their finest motor racing and motor cycling photographs printed from the original negatives & transparencies.

Ben then heads to the Goodwood Paddock on the way checking out the new MG Cyberster with a first look at the Coupé model, and the Wacky Racer cars to interview Le Mans and F1 racing driver Kenny Acheson by his Sauber Mercedes C9 and Jackie Oliver about his involvement with Shadow racing cars.
