All the action from this year's biggest UK new car event, including debuts from MG, McLaren and Infiniti

The 2016 London Motor Show is up and running in Battersea Park, and we attended the launch to bring you an overview of the most significant new car debuts.

The UK has been without its own dedicated automotive showcase since 2008, but organisers of the revamped London Motor Show have secured backing from 35 different car brands, includingAston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ford, Nissan, Jaguar, Land Rover andBMW.

Over the three days (6-8 May) at Battersea Evolution Centre, 130 models are on display from superminis to supercars. There are also several UK debuts at the show with the list headlined by MG’sfirst SUV – the GS. The £154,000 McLaren 570GT is also putting in its first public appearance on these shores. The Infiniti Q60 is on display for the first time in the UK too, as is the striking Kahn Vengeance supercar. 

Also at the show - but unfortunately under a cloth - is a full size model of the new TVR sports car. Company boss Les Edgarrevealed further details of the Cosworth V8-powered car at a press conference but refused to reveal the car to the media.
