Historic motorsport on show

Six very special racing cars will deliver the sound of thunder as they take to the Grand Avenue at the 2018 Historic Motorsport International show at the ExCeL centre in London’s Docklands from 15-18 February.

Following a highly successful opening show this year, the event is expanding and moving halls within the exhibition complex to join its sister operation, the London Classic Car Show.

Organisers say the change allows a selection of “star cars” to drive along the Grand Avenue automotive catwalk. “The sight and sound of all manner of classics and supercars on the move adds a totally new dimension to the exhibition,” a spokesman added.

HMI aims to make the most of the move by assembling its own paddock supported by Octane magazine and featuring six one-of-a-kind racing cars that fit with the Grand Avenue’s 2018 theme of “Specials”.

The first of the six to be announced is an Edwardian Fiat, better known as the “Beast of Turin”, a flame-spitting 28.5-litre behemoth that claimed a world land speed record in 1911 of 116mph (See also this month’s Motoring feature in this issue).
