A classic car show in Bromley, south east London, has been cancelled this year following the expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (Ulez), organisers have said.

The Bromley Pageant of Motoring was due to take place in Norman Park but the location now falls within the enlarged Ulez.

The event has been held at the park for more than 40 years, according to its website.

Although classic cars which are over 40 years old would have been exempt from the £12.50 Ulez charge, concerns were raised about fees being charged for more modern classic cars.

Other vehicles belonging to car clubs, exhibitors or visitors to the show could have also been charged, Classics World has reported.

Organisers Pippa and Jason Griffiths, from event management company A-MEm said in a statement: "Following the introduction of the Ulez zone across greater London, we have taken considerable time to evaluate all options for the future of the Bromley Pageant of Motoring, including whether it would be viable to still hold the Pageant at Norman Park, Bromley.

"It became clear that Norman Park is no longer an option and any move to a new venue and date needs to ensure that this firm favourite of the classic car calendar has a bright future. 

"We have made the very difficult decision to not hold the event in 2024 but are working on plans to bring back the Bromley Pageant of Motoring in 2025."

The pair added that they appreciated support from car owners and clubs and they were disappointed the event will not take place in 2024.
