The state-of-the-art world of automobiles and auto accessories will soon be on display as Spectrum Promotions and Style 96.5FM stages Cayman’s second international car show on Saturday, 19 November at the Lion’s Centre.
The show is being staged in collaboration locally with Tony Williams of Tony’s Toys and internationally with Slipstream Global, the US-based marketing management firm that helped to coordinate the inaugural car show, held as part of the Quincentennial Celebrations in 2003, said a press release.

The show’s entertainment will also feature live performances from local bands and is once again poised to attract a host of international media to the Cayman Islands. Editors from motor sport magazines Super Street, Modified, Import Tuner and Speed Mag will be in Grand Cayman to cover the event, along with G4 TV.
