The London Classic Car Show: an exhibit of magical motoring moments

Posted on January 5, 2015

London: The London Classic Car Show is almost here. Running from 8-11 January 2015 at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London’s Docklands, the London Classic Car Show is unlike any other traditional car shows. The highlight of the show is The Grand Avenue – a motoring runway stretching the entire length of the show upon which more than 40 of the most important cars of the last century will be revving up.

Says Event Director Bas Bungish, “London deserves a really definitive classic car show, and this is it. We have scoured the World to gather together some of the most exciting, dramatic, valuable and desirable classic cars under one roof to create not so much a show but a genuine event.”

A star studded spectacular that promises to kick start the New Year with high octane sights and sounds, here you can watch a genuine Grand Prix racing car in action, indoors, while enjoying a burger prepared by TV chef James Martin. Or discover the car that excited a young James May so much, that he went on to become one of the country’s foremost motoring personalities. You also get to see supercars like the Ford GT40, Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 288GTO, Bugatti EB110 and Jaguar XJ220 rubbing shoulders with motoring pioneers such as a Lagonda Tricar from 1904, and get a glimpse of the very first Formula 1 car built by legendary designer Adrian Newey. Visitors will not only be able to gaze at iconic cars such as a 1956 ex-Stirling Moss Maserati 250F but to see and hear them in action, too.
