James Martin’s Classic Cafe
“There are two passions in my life, cars and cooking. At the London Classic Car Show I will be able to combine the two… what could be better?”
TV chef and car enthusiast James Martin will cook up the perfect dish at the London Classic Car Show. James will be creating a unique showcase of cars and food - combining his favourite subjects to create this wonderful motoring themed food stop for all visitors of the event to enjoy.
James' Classic Café will feature five historically important Minis, all from his personal collection, a pair of rare Ferraris – a 275GTB and a Testarossa - and his wonderful Mustang Fastback.
For James Martin, the London Classic Car Show is the perfect way to start the new year.
“There are two passions in my life, cars and cooking,” he said. “At the London Classic Car Show I will be able to combine the two… what could be better?
“I am particularly proud of the Mini display. I grew up driving Minis and I’ve always had a massive soft spot for the little car. I have been extremely fortunate in being able to collect some significant examples, some of which will be on display at the show.”
Most notable among these is, perhaps, the ‘works’ Cooper S that the legendary Paddy Hopkirk rallied back in 1963.
The James Martin Classic Café, meanwhile, will provide what he calls ‘good, simple grub’. In keeping with its surroundings, the café’s food will be dished up from a trio of classic vans and will be accessible by all visitors to the event.
