London Classic

Unfortunately I was unable to make the London Classic this year, did anyone manage to make the show and what were the standout features this year?

Sorry Richard, I only just saw y our post. Must try harder to scan the forum! Yes I turned up on the friday with some pals. The show was bigger than last year and better than last year. Standout features were more difficult to identify for me as I do so many cars shows and events, there is rarely anything that I have not seen before. So yes, there were two Ferrari GTOs but when you have been through the pits at Goodwood Revival you may see 5 or 6 in a row, most owned by JCB! No seriously, the show was very good, no Eagle E types this year as I understand that the prices for the stands have gone up, hardly surprising as the show continues to grow. I guess the lessons of last year were learnt and there was not the extreme numbers of E types there as in 2016, but still a good showing from CMC, E Type UK, New Forest Cars, Hilton and Moss, XK Classics and Duncan Hamilton. One or two on other stands as well. I am very pleased the show is growing and it seemed very well attended, although not sure I spotted anyone under about 45 years old, perhaps a good demographic but slightly worrying!
