London Classic Car Show Debut in January 2015

London’s ExCeL centre will be holding the first ever 2015 London Classic Car Show which will showcase some of the most desirable and valuable cars ever made.

The unique car show will be organised by Brand Events, who are the company behind Top Gear Live and CarFest.

Where did the idea for the London Classic Car Show come from?

A special launch event in West London’s Adam & Eve Mews on 10^th July 2014, Chris Hughes, Chief Executive, pointed out the Testa Rossa Aston Martin DB6 (once owned by Paul McCartney) and other classic automobiles on display and said;

“Classic cars look great in London, don’t they? They reflect the style and culture of a cool capital. Yet London has no classic car show.

We aim to change that with a show that’s innovative and full of passion.”

Key roles behind the London Classic Car Show

Some original ideas have been promised at the London Classic Car Show, such as The Grand Avenue; a motoring runway that the cars will be driven down.

TV Chef James Martin will be serving quality food and displaying some of his own classic cars that are part of his private collection.

Some of these include a rare Ferrari 288 GTO, a 250 GTO and a number of Mini Coopers.

He said;

“A show that combines my two passions, food and cars – I’ll be in heaven.”

Also playing a key role in the event will be BBC Top Gear’s James May, who will be putting together a collection of ‘Cars That Changed The World’ and has promised a few surprises.

London Classic Car Show Event Director

Bas Bungish, Event Director, has this to say;

“Although we have only just announced the show, we have already been promised huge support from a number of key players in the automotive and classic car worlds.

We see this as a celebration of the car and are encouraging manufacturers and their one-make clubs to get together to put on a display from the past, present and possibly even the future.

Maserati and Aston Martin have already signed up, along with leading dealers and specialists such as Eagle E-Types, Duncan Hamilton, Nicholas Mee & Co, Frank Dale and Stepsons and Hexagon Classics to name but a few.

Cars are about passion and joy and the London Classic Car Show will celebrate that.”
