The first-ever `green' car show at the Eden Project in Cornwall will be sponsored exclusively by Co-operative Insurance, which has its headquarters in Manchester.
The Eden Project, home to the biggest greenhouses on earth, will host The Sexy Green Car Show between March 30 and April 15.
Among others, Saab will be heading for Cornwall with their 9300 biopower convertible and 9300 biopower cutaway and are also discussing with Eden the possibility of bringing their Aero X hydrogen concept coupe.
Vauxhall are to showcase their latest Zafira and Corsa models while Ford are putting up the new Focus flexi-fuel convertible, a formula race car which runs on ethanol, and a Model T.
The latest Mercedes Smart EV car will rub bumpers with the D1 Oils 24-hour Le Mans race car which runs on biodiesel made from jatropha trees.
The show will showcase the latest in `green' driving, alongside innovators in design, transport leaders and fuel manufacturers.
Co-operative Insurance launched Briain's first eco motor insurance product in 2006, with environmentally friendly features from the underwriting to claims stages and enables customers to have a say in a unique ethical engagement policy.
