There are motor shows in this modern, live-chat, Zoom call, streaming world but they just aren't the same are they...?! There is very little excitement or good, old fashioned controversy any more!!!! Back in the 1970's (and beyond of course!) things were very different indeed. This Flickr gallery (that was created by a very fine person called Shahin who scanned all the images in from original transparancies!!!) was posted on the amazing AROnline website and I thought I'd share it on here so you can all revel in some motorshow glory and pine for an era that was just superb... LONDON MOTOR SHOWS FROM THE 1970'S...
What wonderful stuff eh??!!

It seems like Valerie Leon did her very best to 'boost' BMW sales at that particular show!!!

Valerie is in fantastic form and perfectly compliments the BMW offerings Bet they shifted a few units at the show.
