London, September 26, 2025 – London’s historic Pall Mall will transform into a paradise for car lovers on Saturday, November 1, 2025, as the St James’s Motoring Spectacle returns with a dazzling lineup of more than 130 cars and themed displays. Organised by the Royal Automobile Club with the support of Westminster City Council, the event is not only spectacular but also educational—and best of all, entry is completely free.

One of the highlights is the St James’s Concours, showcasing over 60 pioneering pre-1905 vehicles—all of which will set off for Brighton at dawn the next morning. Visitors can get close to these historic treasures, meet passionate owners in period motoring attire, and capture unforgettable photos.

Other zones include:

• Education & Careers Zone – inspiring young visitors to explore opportunities in the automotive and motorsport industries.
• RM Sotheby’s Display – featuring veteran, vintage, and classic cars available for private treaty purchase, ahead of the prestigious London Sale at the Peninsula Hotel.
• Bicycles & Motorcycles Zone – covering everything from veteran bicycles and early motorcycles to cutting-edge electric bikes.
• Formula 1 Anniversary Zone – celebrating 75 years of Formula 1, with legendary F1 cars and the Royal Automobile Club’s British Grand Prix Trophy recently presented to Lando Norris.
• Hypercars Zone – a breathtaking showcase of the latest hypercars, delivering a dramatic finale near St James’s Palace.
