I attended the London Classic Car Show on the 15th of February 2019. This is the 5th event held annually held at the London ExCel. This year the London Classic Car Show celebrated centenaries of Citroen, Bentley and Coys of Kensington while Mini celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Cars from the Italian Job were reunited for the first time since the film was made, designer Ian Callum was given the Icon Award, Edd China curated an Aero Engine car stand, and the Supagard Theatre had lots of interesting talks and demonstrations going on.
The Grand Avenue had 3 show's to showcase lots of cars, there were all kind of traders and car clubs giving the show plenty to see and do.

I enjoyed my time at The London Classic Car Show, there is lots to have a look at. Everyone was very friendly and willing to take time to talk. If you love classic cars then this show is a must. The only drawback for me was that the Aero Engine cars were not allowed to start up
due to heath and safety reasons. I would love to have heard them but I understand that rules have to be followed. This was still being investigated to see if they could be started when I left for the day.
I would like to thank Brand Events and Revolution Communications for making a smooth running event, and to Edd China, Quentin Wilson, Tiff Needell, Jane Weitzmann, Iain Tyrell, Spike Hughes, Jonathan Dawson May (thanks for the Handbook) and Richard Biddulph for taking time to talk to me and agreeing to future blog posts (watch this space) and finally to Bradley Walsh for the photo just as he was heading into the show
