Around 25,000 people are estimated to have watched as the 7.0-litre V12-powered car drive through the city centre.

The show also included exhibits by local manufacturers Ginetta and the Jowett car company, which is most famous for its Jupiter model (owned by stars including actor Peter Ustinov and F1 world champion John Surtees) and was based in Bradford until 1954.
