- Other vehicles on show will include: pedal cycles, scooters, motor cycles, three wheelers, custom-cars, kit cars, classic automobiles, fire engines, commercial vehicles, American limousines and military vehicles
- One of the biggest draws is sure to be a Jaguar Concept XK180 car which was manufactured in 1998 and debuted at the Paris Motor show only two were ever made, each with an estimated cost of a million pounds, making this one of the most unobtainable cars in the world!
- Another car sure to draw the crowds is the 2006 Ford GT
- The RSA Rollover Audi A4 will enable you to strap yourself in and experience the vehicle doing a full 360 degree turn, simulating a car crash
- Lots of fun for children – face painting, balloon modelling, bouncy castle and slide, and Minnie and Mickey Mouse
- A wide range of auto goodies, trade stands, and food and drink
The show’s special guests – the Lord Mayor of Dublin, jazz legend Paddy Cole and Senator David Norris – will arrive at the show at 1.15pm in a cavalcade of vintage cars, escorted by thirty Harley Davidsons.
