The London Classic Car Show Returns to Olympia in 2023

November 2022 - The London Classic Car Show, the capital’s premier automotive event, is back for its ninth year! Taking place between 24th - 26th February 2023, the must-attend car festival returns to the prestigious Olympia in Kensington, West London, following a hiatus from the venue last year.   

The season-opener to the year’s captivating classic car scene, The London Classic Car Show is the place to be for all discerning classic car buyers, collectors and enthusiasts. Hosting an exhibition of famed and iconic motor vehicles, visitors to the 2023 event will be spoiled for choice. Not only will Olympia be filled to the brim with incredible cars to gawk at, but the weekend will also be packed with new, never-before-seen features for the whole family to enjoy! From getting the inside scoop from celebrity interviews from motoring legends to dancing away to live music acts on the brand new main stage. 

Early bird tickets go on sale from 10am on Thursday 24th November 2022. Anyone registering early will benefit from a fantastic £5 discount on standard Adult Tickets. 

Regular attendees and first-timers alike will meander through hundreds of the world’s finest cars from yesteryear across the weekend. And, that’s not all! The London Classic Car Show has given a sneak peek into what to expect by revealing two of its special displays. 

The first will honour 60 years of the evergreen Porsche 911, featuring an eye-catching collection of evolving 911s from the original air-cooled Type 901 launched at the Frankfurt Show in 1963, to the latest Type 992 supercars.

The second will put the spotlight on Barn-Finds and Survivors, providing a fascinating insight into the uncovering and restoration of recently discovered relics. Here visitors will get up close and personal with hidden motoring treasures everyone will be lusting after. 

With more to be announced in the coming weeks, The London Classic Car Show is sure to excite all motorsport fans, big and small. The range of exhibits and hotly debated panel discussions (such as re-engineering existing classics with electric propulsion) ensure there's something for every generation to strap in and enjoy.  

Back in the iconic Olympia venue following Covid-19 restrictions on indoor events last year, temporarily moving the event to Syon Park in June 2021, The London Classic Car Show is glad to be under the magnificent Victorian, barrel-vaulted roof once again. 

Kate Woodley, Show Director at organiser Brand Events says: “We are thrilled to be bringing The London Classic Car Show back to Olympia. It’s a truly spectacular venue which provides us with the perfect backdrop for wonderful displays of iconic cars from throughout the ages. Olympia already feels like our spiritual home, and we have a truly great show planned for 2023.”   

 Offering exceptional value, advance adult tickets are just £25 (plus booking fees), and a Limited Early Bird Offer provides those registering online and buying before midnight on the 27th of November with a significant £5 discount.

Editors notes

About The London Classic Car Show: The London Classic Car Show was launched in 2014 at ExCel London and is now firmly established as the capital city’s premier showcase for discerning classic car owners, collectors, experts and enthusiasts. The annual event has quickly become an international celebration of the finest classic road and race cars across the UK and Europe, bringing together the very best dealers, manufacturers, restorers and car clubs.

For 2020 the Show moved to a new home at Olympia, a more central venue boasting significant automotive history… and then, to provide a Covid-compliant setting, The London Classic Car Show 2021 relocated to a new outdoor setting at historic Syon Park, in West London. 

Now back at Olympia the 2023 Show will take place between 24th - 26th February and advance tickets start from £25 per adult, £20 per child (6-16).
