The show will be held along the quay of the River Boyne and opens to the public on Friday evening. Over 50 new cars will be on display from Citroen, Ford, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Opel, Skoda, Toyota and Volkswagen. The event will give the public an opportunity to see the latest new models away from the confines of a dealership and ahead of the 142 registration period.
Commenting ahead of the event, John Malone of Malone's Garage (Toyota) said, "Even if you're just considering a new car, we'd say to you to come down to the motor show. Meet the dealers, have a chat, learn more about the car that you want and get advice. Everyone is here to help you make the right decision. It's summertime, it's by the water, the cars smell and look great, come on down."
