Ten hand-picked classic cars from each of the world’s six top car producing nations – 60 classics in all – will bring the 2016 London Classic Car Show (18-21 February) to life as they parade up and down the show’s centrepiece: The Grand Avenue.
Unique to the London Classic Car Show, The Grand Avenue is a highway that runs through the centre of the exhibition and along which some of the world’s finest classic cars are driven. The Grand Avenue turns the Show from a static exhibition to a moving feast, allowing visitors to see and hear their favourite cars in action.
At last year’s inaugural show, The Grand Avenue played host to a wide variety of 40 classic cars with highlights including a Maserati 250F once raced by Stirling Moss and one of James Hunt’s iconic Marlboro McLarens.
But like the rest of the show – which is almost doubling in size – The Grand Avenue will be significantly longer in 2016, providing space for more classics to parade at the same time.
“Everyone has a favourite classic, whether it’s an Italian thoroughbred from Ferrari, a futuristic Citroen DS from France or a brawny V8-powered Mustang from the US.
“By assembling ten of the finest classic cars from each of the Six Nations and parading them along The Grand Avenue, we can ask show-goers to decide for themselves what’s their favourite car making country,” said Event Director Bas Bungish.
Attracting more than 25,000 visitors to the ExCeL centre in London’s docklands, the first London Classic Car Show was deemed such a success that even before the Show closed its doors, more space had been secured and dates confirmed for the 2016 event.
Tickets are on sale now and start at £23 (including booking fee) for single adult entry on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and rise to £65 for entry to Thursday’s Premium Preview Evening. This includes fast track entry, the best views of The Grand Avenue at the Turning Circle Viewing Platform, access to the exclusive Premium Lounge, a Show Handbook and even a glass of Joseph Perrier fizz.
