London Motorfair (London Motor Show) was an alternative London auto show to the British International Motor Show, that was held at Earls Court biannually from 1977 to 1999. In 1993, when the event won the support of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and P&O Events, the name changed from "Motorfair" to "The London Motor Show".
