The first expanded pre-Brighton Run motor show in Regent Street was a huge success with 250,000 enthusiasts and passers-by packing out a closed West End area to see the growing mix of veterans and classics in central London.
More than 100 Veterans took part in the Regent Street Motor Show yesterday, along with vehicles arriving after the end of the Future Car Challenge (the eco event that runs from Brighton to London the day before the main Run).
But the biggest change was the inclusion of 50 Jaguar E-Types and 50 Mini Coopers to mark the models' half-centuries.
The Stage, sponsored by the RAC, played host to a celebrity interviews, forums and dance performances, as well as Run participants sharing fascinating historical insights on their cars.
