The Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair debuted in the summer of 2004 and had the art-loving throng scrabbling over a staggering array of unique art-wares such as Gavin Turk’s  ‘Pop Art Road Kill’, Bob and Roberta Smith’s ‘concrete rubbings’, Richard Clegg’s magnificent ‘Snow Dooms’ and Showroom Dummies limited edition ‘car blankets’.

Ruby Wax and Tracy Emin were spotted cheering trackside at the Omni 'Escalado' stakes.  Meanwhile, Pam Hogg and Ross Allen spun the discs and the Whoopee Club thrilled with its special line-up of cheeky Sunday afternoon Burlesque.
