MPH The Prestige & Performance Show ft. Top Gear Live – the wild side!
![Triumph TR7 'Coke Car': In 1978 Coca-Cola and Levi's ran a promo competition with the top prizes being three TR7s in special red and white Coke livery. The cars featured Levi denim upholstery and genuine jean patch pockets on the door cards. There was also a 12-volt fridge tucked in the boot and a TV wegded in the glove compartment](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075372.jpg)
![Citroen DS3: Now we're bang back up to date with a couple of eye-catching DS3s from the Citroen. With an already fresh 'n' funky exterior design, I guess Citroen thought the DS3 to be the best 'host' for these contemporary custom print graphics. Show-goers couldn't get enough of the swinging Citroens](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075375.jpg)
![Citroen DS3: And here's the other swinging Citroen, this time wrapped in chrome vinyl and attracting plenty of attention. Looked great at the show, but one wonders what would happen on a sunny day!](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075376.jpg)
![Ford Gran Torino (Starsky & Hutch replica): The London Motor Museum supplied many of the wilder rides at the show, and it was a real pleasure to revel in a little Starsky & Hutch nostalgia, thanks to their 1974 Ford Gran Torino; unmistakable in the red and white-stripe paint. Unfortunately, strategically-placed rope barriers thwarted any bonnet-sliding action](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075377.jpg)
![DeLorean DMC-12: Another iconic car from the London Motor Museum, but this one doesn't leave fiery streaks on the road or transport its occupants through the space-time continuum. As far as we know, anyway](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075380.jpg)
![1951 Chevrolet Pickup: How about this for a beast? They sure don't make 'em like they used to. This example of an iconic Chevy truck is in near perfect restored condition but modernised with billet aluminium wheels and tough matt-grey paint](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075381.jpg)
![Hot Rod: Thought we'd save the wildest 'til last, this bright orange ball of V8 rot rod madness - a blast from the past that'll leave you begging for mercy!](/files/includes/images/slideshow-7075604.jpg)

The Wild Side:
The MPH Show has something shiny for everyone; exotic supercars, cool classics, even some track-ready racecars, and that's all to come from our TotallyMotor show reports. But, for now, it's time to put on those dark shades; it's time to take a walk on the wild side with some of our favourites whacky racers.
