Radio DJ Chris Evans is making the final preparations to his CarFest show, which takes place at the end of the month.

Two CarFest festivals will be held -- one at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire on 25-26 August, and one at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire on 8-9 September.

Evans's vision was to create a family festival featuring three of his favourite things -- fast cars, music and food -- and, as such, there will be an impressive selection of metal on display at both shows.

Most notably, Evans's 'Magnificent Seven' collection of classic Ferraris will be on show, along with a host of Formula One cars, Group B rally cars, and a huge number of both modern and classic supercars.

A third of the price of each ticket goes to BBC Children in Need, along with any further profits made over the course of the two weekends.

Chris's 'Magnificent Seven' includes a Ferrari 275 GTB, a Ferrari 288 GTO, a Ferrari F40, a Ferrari 512 Testarossa, a Ferrari 599 SA Aperta, a Ferrari FF and a Ferrari 458 Spider.
