BANBURY supercar manufacturer Ascari is making an impact at the MPH'06 motorshow with two £235,000 KZ1s on display.

The action kicks off for three days starting today at Birmingham's NEC and then heads south to Earls Court, London, from November to November 5.

A seasoned performer in the MPH arena, the Ascari represents the best of British. Designed and built in Banbury, by a team of leading motoring engineers and technicians, the KZ1, pictured, boasts a state-of-the-art carbon-fibre shell, twinned with 500 horsepower performance.

Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, MPH'06 is a circus of all things automobile. For one week only the traditional motorshow, is vamped up with live action theatre where audiences get close to the action in the live arena.
