And there’s plenty going on.

After months of information being sneakily leaked, the public will get the world’s first look at the Ford Focus RS.

Other big UK debuts taking place include the Vauxhall Insignia, which is replacing the outgoing Vectra in the ultra-important family and sales’ rep sector and the Alfa MiTo supermini.

Also on show is the all-new Lotus Eagle, a V6-powered car which will target the sports coupe market.

We’ll also get one of the first tries on Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom race track members of the public get to drive a Mazda 2 and Mazda MX-5 round a purpose-built race track.

So don’t forget to keep coming back as we update the website and special-built microsite with all the big news as it happens along with taking hundreds of photos of the sexiest cars on show.

The Seat Ibiza SportCoupe will make its debut at the motor show later today. Watch footage of the 2008 Seat Ibiza:
