Organisers hope about 100,000 people will watch the parade which will travel down Piccadilly before ending at Trafalgar Square. The cars taking part in the event on 16 July are worth about £10m in total. Racing driver and model Jodie Kidd will wave the flag to mark the start of the event, which will feature vehicles from every decade of the last 100 years. These will include a vintage Ford Model T, luxury Rolls-Royces and Bentleys and Aston Martin and Lotus models. There will also be vintage London taxis and World War II vehicles. The biennial motor show, which is open to the public at ExCel in London Docklands from 20-30 July, is returning to London after an absence of 30 years, having been held in Birmingham. Motor show spokeswoman Kirsty Adams said: "This is the first time London has seen a celebration of the automobile which is such an essential part of our lives. "There is so much excitement about the show's return to London and this parade will mark the start of an incredible couple of weeks in the British motoring calendar."
