FASHION model David Gandy was among the celebrities who attended an Oxfordshire motor show over the weekend despite the pouring rain.
Known for his work as a Dolce & Gabbana and M&S model, Mr. Gandy was joined by actress Emily Atack, best known for her role on the E4 comedy series The Inbetweeners and polar explorer Ben Saunders.
The three attended the first Mollie’s Miglia at the Mollie’s Motel and Diner in Buckland.
The event was the first to be a regular year-round experience, inspired by Italy’s legendary “Millie Miglia” – a motorsport endurance race with vintage cars.
The event was hosted in partnership with The Gentleman Racer and featured a range of rare classic cars, racing cars and motorcycles for visitors to try out.
Mollies Miglia started at Bremont Watches headquarters in Henley-on-Thames and covered a distance of 70 miles to Buckland.

Vehicles included in the program included an Aston Martin Vanquish 25 CD, Lamborghini Performante and Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.
Originally from Essex, the famous model tried her luck in a Jaguar F-Pace SVR while Atbetweeners star Atack drove a Morgan Aero 4.
Tom Howard, founder and CCO of The Gentleman Racer, shared photos of the event and commented on the success: “It’s safe to say that the cars that took part in the Miglia des Mollie were very different.
“Great company, dirty cars and not a single ego in sight.”
Mr. Howard added that the auto show was “refreshing” and promised car enthusiasts that they would not have to wait long for the details of future events to be revealed very soon.
After the ride, guests and celebrities enjoyed lunch at Mollie’s Diner and an overnight stay, where they chose from a menu of the diner’s favorites.
