Visitors to Squire’s Garden Centre in Hersham on a recent Saturday were greeted by the sight of 37  parked Aston Martins, whose owners met there on their way to Beaulieu National Motor Museum.

Collectively, the cars were worth around £3.8 million. The wealth of their 68 owners and passengers is not known. 

“They met at Squire’s café bar for breakfast,” said a Squires spokesman. “It wasn’t the best of weather, but the beautiful cars certainly cheered everyone up!”
