Building on the runaway success of 2006, which saw the British International Motor Show return to London for the first time in 30 years, the two week extravaganza expects to attract over half a million people, making it the biggest show in the UK.  

With over six hundred cars, 60 car marquees, plenty of global premieres and interactive features, the Show promises something for everyone from car enthusiasts to families looking for an exciting day out.  

Visitors can look forward to brand new, exciting features, including:


The Heritage Enclosure and Parade
A unique driving display of high performance super cars from the last five decades, from the 1950s to today.  Positioned right at the front of the Show, the parade will rev up regularly throughout the day.

The Autoglym Supercar Paddock
A high-octane collection of exotic marquees, the Autoglym Supercar Paddock is your chance to get up close and personal with some of the fastest, sexiest, most expensive and highly revered performance cars on the planet.  

The Honda Theatre of Dreams
The 3,500-capacity purpose built Motor Theatre will provide wheel-spinning, awe-inspiring stunts in an all-action live show.  Breath-taking stunts will wow crowds with performances throughout the day.

The Marine Experience
A partnership with National Boat Show means visitors to the dockside will find an incredible line up of boats ranging from million pound yachts and motor cruisers to more affordable ribs and sailing dinghies.  An exciting programme of on-water entertainment will also be on hand to thrill dockside crowds.

Kidz Car Zone
The Kidz Car Zone is a fun-packed area for the drivers of tomorrow.  Children of 2 to 14 years of age will be kept amused with 'car-themed' entertainment whilst learning important lessons about cars and road safety.  This zone will also feature motoring services designed for parent drivers.

The Greener Driving Pavilion & Electric Vehicle Village
An interactive showcase of green innovations and exciting new automotive technologies. The feature includes a seminar area where hot or contentious environmental topics will be debated by industry movers and shakers and visitors will find essential information like tips on greener driving and how the latest technologies will work with differing lifestyles.  This feature also boasts an impressive collection of the latest electric cars.  

My Car is the Star
One lucky person will win the incredible opportunity to see their own car proudly displayed at The British International Motor Show.  To be in with a chance, simply send a photograph of you and your car to mycaristhestar@britishmotorshow.co.uk along with 300 words on what your car means to you and why your car should be chosen.  Hundreds of runners up will be able to see their car displayed on a huge "My Car is the Star" wall of fame at the Show.  

IMIE Marketing Director Kirsty Perkinson said, "This year's show is set to be even bigger and more exciting than ever before.  Whilst we have the largest collection of cars under one roof in the UK, the Show is not just for petrol-heads.  With fun features like the Kidz Car Zone, the Marine Experience and all new Motor Show Music Festival, there really is something for everyone."
