Get your fake sick notes at the ready as it's that time of year again. The MPH motor show arrives in London and Birmingham this November. Clarkson, Hammond and May are returning with an all-new action packed Top Gear Live display and once again the Star Cars gallery will be littered with a selection of the finest supercars.

One of the stars of the show is certain to be the new Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder. It features a superlight aluminium framework and 4.2-litre V8 engine, generating 400bhp. The original C8 was a stunning car, with its luxury interior complete with exposed gear linkage and smoking jacket lounge-like leather upholstery. Add a fully automatic folding roof and the result is the Aileron Spyder. Emblazoned on the chassis is the motto "Nulla Tenaci Invia Est Via" ("For the tenacious, no road is impassable"). Spyker really is to make a big impression on the show goers this year.

MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show will take place at Earls Court, London from November 4-7 and the NEC in Birmingham on November 11-14. For further information about the show or to purchase tickets please visit www.mphshow.co.uk.
