Bentley Speed 300
Although the events have yet to be finalised it is believed the Bentley Speed 8 – a Le Mans 24-hour race winner in 2003 – the Silk Cut Jaguar – Le Mans winner in 1988 – a supercharged Bentley Blower from 1926, and a JCB dragster capable of 100mph will make appearances.
Mr Hall said: “It’s going to be quite an epic sight seeing that going down The Strand.”
Power Pageant organisers are more accustomed to having high powered machines roaring around a country estate, but said, even though organising events within city limits was harder, the Capital of Culture year – which saw The Strand closed to make way for the La Machine giant mechanical spider – had primed Liverpool for special events.
Mr Hall said: “We’ve been very pleased with how accommodating Liverpool City Council’s highways and other departments have been.
“The Capital of Culture year has given them a blueprint of how to handle events, which has been exceptionally helpful.
“It will be a great showcase for Liverpool.”
