Running from the 15th to the 18th February, the third annual, four-day motoring event, will be a spectacular showcase of automotive nostalgia – bringing together the very best manufacturers, car clubs, dealers and products.
More than 800 vintage vehicles will be on display, along with an abundance of crowd pleasing features – so there will be plenty to soak up, as classic car lovers get lost in a sea of polish and petrol.
Some of the highlights include:
A Tribute To Infamous Classics
DCI Gene Hunt himself, actor Philip Glenister, will be curating a selection that pays tribute to vintage getaway cars made famous on the big screen, or that were used in infamous real-life robberies.
The celebration will include a wealth of charismatic classics, from The Italian Job’s Mini Cooper S, to the Jaguar MKII 3.4, dubbed the perfect getaway car after numerous appearances in film and television.

The LCCS will once again include the Grand Avenue display for 2018 – which will showcase a collection of 60 special classics.
