    I don't have a linky for this, just saw it as a breaking news banner on Sky.

    Not really a surprise when you consider the state the industry is in but disappointing all the same. I was there last year and had a great day.

    I wonder if any other European shows of this size will be pulled as well?

    Shame. Was at last years and it was top class and was planning on heading back next year. I'd say it won't be the only one to get binned

    Not a surprise as they've struggled to attract the major manufacturers in recent years such as BMW and Mercedes. The British Motor Show isn't on the map when it comes to major European shows for new model launches.

    Went over last year. It isn't very good to be honest. Especially without the main companies.

    My fondest memory though is this.

    A bit too skinny for me.

    40 profile rubber isn't enough for our potholes.

    Next year's British Motor Show has been canceled because of the crisis in the car industry.

    It is the first time the iconic show has been canceled apart from during both World Wars since it began more than a century ago.

    Organizers blamed the economic downturn and the 'unprecedented challenge' facing the UK's beleaguered motor industry.
