The London Classic Car Show 2019 was staged 14-17 February at the ExCeL Centre in London’s Docklands. The 5th annual show paid tribute to the centenaries of both Bentley and Citroën with a collection of models from throughout their 100 years, in addition to celebrating 60 years of the Mini.
Similar to previous events, the cars at ExCeL London were not only on static display. No fewer than 100 classics — including some raucous racing cars — were fired up on the indoor driving runway. The ‘Grand Avenue’ was led by a congregation of Minis to celebrate the model’s 60th anniversary, while an 1885 Benz Patent-Motorwagen, the world’s first production automobile, headed up a parade of memorable machines that mark ‘Firsts’ within the automotive industry. Tributes were paid to the centenaries of both Bentley and Citroën with a collection of models from throughout their 100 years.
