Ironic isn't it? Old cars are more popular (and profitable) than new cars, it couldn't have anything to do with new cars being boring, all looking the same with no variety and all the same colour (was silver, now it's white)
When they cancel the motor show you know the manufacturers are in the doldrums, I can't think of a new car that I would like to buy (well perhaps a Jaguar XK if I could afford one)

No deals for the Friday then? Most exhibitions / events charge less for the Friday to encourage extra attendance on the quieter day. This show is charging a premium...........
