Clubs to feature at London Classic Car Show

A new feature for clubs will be included in next month’s London Classic Car Show, which takes place at ExCeL on 18-21 February.

Located in a dedicated hall adjoining the main exhibition area, the new ‘car club square’ will be filled with the country’s best single-marque classic car clubs.

Clubs already confirmed include Aston Martin Owners’ Club, BMW Car Club, Classic Corvette Club UK, Jensen Owners’ Club and Mercedes-Benz Owners’ Club with more to follow. Porsche Club GB is another to be out in force at the Show.

Harking back to evocative London motor shows from the past, club square will also feature stands from relevant classic car dealers. Adding further to the square’s retro vibe, visitors will be treated to period entertainment in the retro bar and café.

But the new features don’t stop there. The square will also be home to ‘speakers’ corner’, which will provide show-goers with an open forum where guest speakers and VIPs will talk about classic cars as investments, about the pleasure derived from classic car ownership and offer advice about buying and selling at auction.

One speaker already confirmed is Chris Routledge of Coys Auctions, and a presenter on the recent The Classic Car Show programme on Channel 5. Experts from insurance specialist Hagerty International will also be on the soapbox forecasting the key cars to watch in 2016 and the next best buy.

Tickets for the show are on sale now. The standard adult entry ticket costs £23 (children £17) with family tickets available at £65. Premium access to the glittering premiere evening costs £65 each, for which tickets will be strictly limited.
