For decades the Earls Court Motor Show was the annual pilgrimage for car idolaters, dreamers and even the odd buyer. Millions jostled to see the latest models, gadgets, showgirls, celebrities and leave with armfuls of brochures. As the Earls Court exhibition centre is demolished in 2016 Russell Hayes returns to the original excitement of the show with this colourful history, including archive images of British, European and American cars at their finest, the landmark models, the heroic failures and the one-offs. Grab a ticket, muscle into the crowd and join Russell as he relives the glory days of the Earls Court Motor Show in this nostalgic celebration. Hang on! Isn’t that Sid James?
RUSSELL HAYES is a former motoring journalist who has worked for TV programmes such as Top Gear, The Car’s the Star and Driven. Since 2007 he has written Haynes books on Lotus, TVR and the Ford Cortina. He published his fourth motoring history, The Volkswagen Golf Story, in 2014. He is an associate member of the Guild of Motoring Writers.
