The London Classic Car Show, ExCeL Exhibition Centre, 8 – 11 January
Wednesday 07 January 2015
The inaugural London Classic Car Show starts tomorrow, a star studded spectacular that promises to kick start the New Year with high octane sights and sounds.
Running from Thursday to Sunday, 8-11 January, at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London’s Docklands, the London Classic Car Show is the latest creation from Brand Events, the company behind all-action car shows like Top Gear Live.
Unlike traditional static car shows, the London Classic Car Show promises a number of innovative features, headed by The Grand Avenue. This motoring runway stretches the entire length of the show upon which more than 40 of the most important cars of the last century will be revving up.
And that means 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.
“London deserves a really definitive classic car show… and this is it,” said Event Director Bas Bungish. “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.”
Among the highlights are:
Tickets are available from the show website – www.thelondonclassiccarshow.co.uk – where early bird discounts reduce the on-the-door standard entry price from £25 to just £22.
Also available are family and group tickets, premium entry packages and access to the exclusive Preview Evening on the opening night, Thursday 8 January.
Premium Tickets – which have limited availability and are already completely sold out for Saturday 10 January – will give visitors access to the premium enclosure with a view of The Grand Avenue’s turning circle, a drink and complimentary cloakroom plus the Official Event handbook.
