Below you will find details of who will be attending the 2008 Canary Wharf London Motorexpo and discover what vehicles will be on show:

Confederate
|

Confederate’s mantra is to; “Initiate a return to honest American industrial and mechanical design. Never compromise passion, intensity, time or money. Create through deep, considered, actual individual emotion.
Perfect a balance of technology and the primitive. Invest absolute faith. Overbuild. Maximize and evolve individual craftsmanship. Relish the challenge and persist eternally”.
