Regent Street Motor Show Saturday November 3rd

Make plans to attend the largest free motor show in the UK on Saturday November 3rd. As part of the free weekend of motoring hosted by the Royal Automobile Club, which was founded in 1897, the Regent Street Motor Show will take place in London from 10.30am until 4.00pm. The event is on the same weekend as the world's oldest motoring event, the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run and the RAC Future Car Challenge, which runs from Brighton to London and showcases the performance of low energy use vehicles and is being held for the third year running.

Regent Street will be closed all day – with shops open until 10.00pm. On display will be over 300 cars including iconic vehicles to celebrate the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries of motoring will be the main attraction. Joining the 100 pre-1905 vehicles in the prestigious EFG International Concours d'Elegance will be low energy use vehicles as they arrive from Brighton having completed the RAC Future Car Challenge – some of these will not have been seen on UK roads before. This year will also see a new Manufacturer Zone where the latest models will be presented by Vauxhall and Renault.

Some of the highlights of the event will be; passenger rides in 'future' cars, members of the public can challenge the former Stig (from the BBC series Top Gear) in an inter-active quiz on the British Gas stand. On the RAC stand they can 'drive' an ECO simulator, be photographed with a Lewis Hamilton lookalike and have the chance of winning a true classic British car - a 1969 MGB Roadster.

The list of celebrities in attendance will include Red Dwarf actor and green car ambassador Robert Llewellyn, Smooth Radio DJ Mark Goodier, Team GB swimmer Ross Davenport and Land Speed Record holder Don Wales (the British Gas team taking part in the RAC Future Car Challenge), TV presenter and former Strictly Come Dancing Contestant Kate Silverton and (on the Vauxhall stand) TV presenter and motoring expert Quentin Willson.
