The British Motor Show is an exciting bi-annual event which showcases new cars and trucks in Great Britain. However, the British Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders have arrived at the difficult decision of cancelling the event for the year 2010 after consulting the UK Motor industry. The decision to cancel the event came at the wake of the economic downturn all over the world.
The British Motor Show was also facing problems of low attendance as it was not being able to attract people in good numbers in recent editions of the show. During its heydays, in 1978 the show attracted over 900,000 people at Birmingham NEC. To increase the attendance of the crowd, the show was even relocated to London in 2006 but there was no significant increase.
