Post by AW11 Forever..! »

WELCOME TO THE CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW!
Image
The Classic Motor Show is all about bringing together people who share a passion for cars.

Every year this traditional “season grand finale” for the classic car scene attracts many tens of thousands of enthusiasts from all over the UK, Europe and even further afield.

The show celebrates every age, marque and model. The veteran, the vintage, the classic and the modern/future classic, with a huge and diverse display of 1000 cars ranging from the most accessible popular classics through to the thoroughly outrageous and rare exotica.

The Classic Motor Show brings together the whole motoring spectrum in this unique annual celebration of the car. Along with the huge car displays, the show hosts the biggest gathering of companies and traders offering every conceivable product and service to the classic car owner/enthusiast plus some superb and unique show features.

Looking to buy a classic car? The NEC becomes the UK's largest classic car dealership during the show, with many well trusted and respected classic car dealers and topline replica manufacturers bringing cars to suit all tastes and budgets.

The Live Stage, Wheeler Dealer Live, Dream Rides and the Restoration Theatre are all un-missable features and offer the visitor everything from hands on expert practical demonstrations and advice, 10 mile rides in amazing cars, seminars, celebrities and fun! On this website you will find lots of pictures, video clips and show news, plus we’ll give regular updates on our exhibitors, other news and links to other places of classic interest.

We hope to see you at the show on November 14th, 15th and 16th! Come and visit the MK1 Club stand 4C36
If you are not a member then take advantage of joining on the day and meeting our chairman Stuart Kynoch.

Jinx,

We are coming down on the Thursday and staying in Meriden @ the Bulls Head Innkeepers Lodge. We are attending the show Friday and then coming back home so we won't actually be there over the weekend :sick:

I had mine on the club stand last year.
Take comfy shoes, you'll be on your feet ALL the time.
Have plenty of cash, it's expensive, buy lunch on the way in.
If your showing your car, it WILL get marked, hopefully only lightly.
It is extremely busy, and the public seem to have zero respect for your space.
The NEC 'elf 'n' safety' staff are jobsworths IMO.
If your showing, take a cover, a microfibre towel and spray detailer. It's suprisingly dusty.

However, there are some outstanding displays, concurs condition cars, amazing choice for tools and accessories.

last year.. :D

We were going to have our track car on the stand but as I still can't walk, it's a bit awkward getting round shows, let alone getting to them.

Have a nice time everyone :)
