The imposing fleet of 50 Jaguar E-Type models isn’t the only attraction to arrive today at London’s Canary Wharf for the free-to-visit Motorexpo as Disney and its Pixar studio sent two real life characters from the upcoming Cars 2 movie, which is set to hit UK theaters in 3D on July 22. The full-size film-star cars are the Lightning McQueen racer and the Finn McMissile Aston Martin, voiced in the movie by actors Owen Wilson and Michael Caine respectively.
Commenting on the appearance of the two real life Cars 2 charachters, Motorexpo’s CEO, Graeme Carver, said: “We’re delighted that Lightning McQueen and Finn McMissile chose Motorexpo to start their British ‘Cars 2’ promotional tour. Our show is the most interactive motoring event in the country and it’s only appropriate that we offer our younger visitors something to keep them entertained too.”
The good news for parents is that unlike the movie, a visit to the Motorexpo won’t cost them a penny as the show is completely free for all members of the public to attend. The show runs from Monday 6 to Saturday 11 June and is open daily from 10am to 6pm, and 11am to 5pm on Sunday 12 June.
