Classic and Sports Car Show artwork revealed

| 29 Jul 2015

World renowned automotive artist Tim Layzell has unveiled his latest stunning work – a vivid poster that sets the scene for the calendar’s most anticipated new event: Classic & Sports Car – The London Show

The striking painting depicts a Jaguar E-type, a Bentley Speed Six and a McLaren F1 on a full-blooded drive through the grounds of the historic Alexandra Palace, where the show is set to be held from 30 October to 1 November. 

Each of the models featured in the artwork is in contention to be crowned the Best British Car Ever, which will be decided by a global vote – click here to cast yours. The winner will be announced at the event, where a stunning example will be on display throughout the course of the weekend, while 25 lucky entrants will win a pair of free tickets to the show. 

Seven other British legends are also in the running, including the Mini Cooper ’S’, Range Rover and Jaguar XKSS, with voting closing on 1 August. 

“We are very proud to have Tim Layzell create this amazing piece of unique artwork,” said Classic & Sports Car group editor James Elliott. “I’ve been a fan of his for some time now, having seen his incredible talent displayed at events such as Pebble Beach, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Goodwood Revival, to name just three.”

“It really sets the scene for our new London Show, combining two of the highlights, our global poll which will name the Best British Car ever and the fabulous venue that will be our home from 30 October to 1 November: Alexandra Palace. With just a few days to go before the poll closes, I would urge people to vote now for their favourite and make their feelings heard. I can’t wait to reveal the winner at Alexandra Palace this autumn.”

“It’s a real honour to be asked to produce a one-off piece for this amazing new event,” said Tim Layzell. “With such an incredible line-up of icons on the shortlist for the Best British Car and such a stunning location as Alexandra Palace, this commission has been a motoring artist’s dream. I’m so looking forward to the event – with the experts from Classic & Sports Car behind it, it’s going to be a must-attend show.”
