London Motorexpo
London Motorexpo was an annual motor show held from 1996 until 2015 in London. It was launched in 1996 as a free outdoor alternative to the British International Motor Show and the London Motor Show. Held in Canary Wharf, it was designed to allow office workers a chance to see new cars without having to take time off to visit a traditional motor show. The London Motorexpo normally took place in June, and often featured the first public viewing of new cars, though rarely concept cars as in a traditional motor show. The final show took place in  2015. 2014. The 2014 show included the UK launches of the Aston Martin Vanquish and Tesla Model S right-hand-drive. 2013.
