Get Pumped For 'The Classic Car Show' Debut, Coming Jan. 2015

In January 2015, a new show called "The Classic Car Show" will debut, hosted by supermodel and racing driver Jodie Kidd, along with a founding member of the Top Gear TV team Quentin Willson.

The show will bring together the world's most prestigious vehicles with A-list contributions from the likes of David Gandy, David Coulthard, and Bruno Senna.

"The Classic Car Show nails the passion we all feel for historic cars, whether they're battle-scarred racers or polished and preened show cars. It tells the stories of the men and women behind them too - it's must-see TV," said Coulthard, a former Formula 1 driver and BBC TV F1 presenter, according to a release issued by the show.

Since 2004, the classic car market has become a multi-billion dollar industry, with values growing ahead of fine art, gold, real estate, and wine. Top end Ferraris have increased in value by 55 percent in 2013 alone, according to the release.

Collectively, the classic car market has grown faster than any other asset class, increasing by 257 percent since 2005.

"No-one has filmed a classic car series like this before," Willson said, according to the release. "We've got gorgeous cars, A-list celebs, passionate stories, an extraordinary filming budget and endless enthusiasm. The Classic Car Show is an amazing insightful series without a socket set in sight."

The growth in the classic car market, along with many other factors, has resulted in the new television series.

"The Classic Car Show" will provide an entertaining look at cars that will be compelling TV for the whole family, not just those who can tell a Ferrari 250 GTO from a 275 GTB.

"Classic cars are beautiful, sexy and evocative; when you climb in and turn the engine something magical happens. The Classic Car Show is a back-stage pass to one of the most exciting and exhilarating forms of art that we have," said Kidd, according to the release.
