Gumball 3000 at Covent Garden (many images)

[Greenwich Ross]

As always, apologies for camera-phone stness



























That Renault 4, though

I want the Renault 4.

The Renault and the Mustang, very very nice

[jdw1234]

The Aston One 77, EType, Peel, Spyker, Renault 4 were awesome.

Can't say I can get particularly excited about seeing Gallardos, Conti GTs or 911 Turbos in Central London though.

Thanks for sharing

I was tempted to go down but laziness got the better of me!

Was it very busy?

[DJFish]

How long are they there for?
I'm just round the corner.......

Awesome!! Especially that renault 4.

Don't tell me someone actually did the gumball in a peel trident!?

[Chicane-UK]

There couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred people milling about, I’d guess. The whole market was surrounded by posh motors so they were spread pretty thin. Happily the tourists seemed to be mostly interested in the more shiny Knightsbridge-esque barges allowing me to snap the more interesting bits and pieces.

As far as how long they're there for; there were loads of barriers, stewards and a mechanise store so i'd say they're set in for the whole day at least. Might pop over again at lunchtime although I imagine it'll be swamped by then.

Only regret is I didn't get to see and, more importantly, hear them arriving!

I take it it is mid engine/RWD? I bet the handling is 'interesting'....

Bar the E Type of course.

Liking the Polish registered 924.... knife to a gun fight?

Peugeot EX1 Concept.

They normally have a few display cars not actually participating (and let some of the more sycophantic fans park there cars all stickered up as well).

I'm not sure what that Polish registered shed is doing there either. Perhaps he has just spotted a cheeky way of parking for free all day.

It's that Peugeot concept thingy, I believe. Wasn't easy to get a decent snap what with it being black and the weather, at that point, was pretty overcast.

Clichés on wheels.

The cars will be flagged off at 12.00 when they head for Paris.

That's my lunch break sorted. Should make for quite an impressive traffic jam on the Strand.
