The humour, drama and atmosphere of BBC TV's Top Gear is to be recreated in a major new exhibition at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, in the New Forest.

'World of Top Gear' will invoke the feel of the famous Top Gear hanger and showcase some of its iconic features in a special display area.

Some of the actual vehicles used in challenges from the show during the last 12 series - including Jeremy, James and Richard's amphibious cars and their 'limousines' - will be featured.

Fans of the show's adventures and irreverent humour will be able to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Top Gear, with recorded stories from the presenters and interactive clips recalling some of the best moments over the years.

Adam Waddell, MD, Top Gear at BBC Worldwide, said: "We're always looking at innovative ways for fans to enjoy the Top Gear brand. This exhibition is a world first for us, giving car enthusiasts a terrific experience at one of UK motoring's most historic and best-loved homes."

The National Motor Museum's commercial director, Stephen Munn, said: "We are delighted to be working with Top Gear.

"The Top Gear brand is a natural partner for the National Motor Museum, and shows how Beaulieu is as interested in modern motoring as it is famous for preserving motoring history."

The exhibition is scheduled to open in June, in time for the summer holidays.

Here come the girls?

I was going to write about how the new series is getting on, but that’ll have to wait, because Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, obviously completely happy with the way the economy is going, has decided instead to turn her attention to the massive issue of women and Top Gear.

Under her new proposals we’d have to boost the number of women on the show to reflect the make up of the population. That means mathematically one of our three presenters would have to be a transsexual, so James is firing up the bandsaw and digging out the Kate Moss Top Shop collection as we speak.

And just as we duck to dodge Harriet’s missile, in comes a two-inch mortar from Dr Louise Livesey of Oxford University, who claims Top Gear is shot through with “entrenched institutional sexism”, and that the show has a ‘boys’ club’ production team.

Interesting that last bit, since this woman has never spoken to us, or been near our office, but never mind: if it’s more women in the office she wants, I’ve already put the call in to Spearmint Rhino.

As for the institutional sexism, and Harman’s other stuff, as I said in the paper this morning, if our show is so female unfriendly, then how come almost half our audience is female?

I also do believe that this sort of claptrap is very patronising to women, because it assumes women can’t enjoy a show’s presenters on merit, but can only appreciate a programme if spoken to by one of their own sex.

As I’m sure our regular viewers know, on account of them normally having more common sense than politicians or academics, Top Gear is a male show, in that it revolves around three males enjoying their love of cars.

That doesn’t make it macho, or exclusatory, it just means one of the show’s editorial pillars involves a journey into the male mind, in the same way that the excellent What Not To Wear veers more towards the female mind.

We don’t even have three male presenters because of the notion that it’s blokes that like cars. That’s actually bollocks – loads of girls enjoy cars. And I think loads of girls also enjoy our show because a journey into the male mind can often be quite a funny one.

You get trivia, petty bickering, stupidity, arrogance, passion, mischief, the lot.

I’m looking round the office right now, and yes, there are more blokes than girls working here. That’s because we need male minds, thinking like males do, to help make the stories that work for this particular show.

We’re all here on merit, and so can we be left alone to get on?
