The answer is Shelby, whose teams of Cobra roadsters and more aerodynamic Cobra Daytona Coupés knocked Ferrari off its European perch during the 1965 season, with a string of wins at Monza, Oulton Park and the Nürburgring, plus a second at Spa -  and, just for good measure, victory in Austria's Rossfeld hillclimb.

Inspired largely by the event founder Lord Pembroke’s love of the marque, the display will begin with the oldest racing car – Ettore Bugatti’s 1913 Type 18 – and culminate with one of the most recent offerings, the Veyron Pur Sang. Other prominent Bugattis on display will include a 1926 Type 41 Royale, a 1931 Type 54 Grand Prix car, and the prototype Bugatti Type 73 C developed the year Ettore died. In total, at least 16 important Bugattis will be on display, along with, no doubt, a few more in the visitor car park.
