The British Motor Show is an annual car show that was initially launched in 2020 as a new format for a national motor show and the first show took place in 2021 with the first show delayed due to the pandemic.[1] It effectively took over from the London Motor Show which last was held in Excel_London in 2019.

The event recorded 45,000 visitors in its first year returning,[2] and proceeded to grow to almost 60,000 visitors in 2022.
