It all looked very, very professional. The cars were well chosen and looked like new cars. Nice.
No pictures of David Soul, though. ha ha

Re: NEC 2013 (PICTURE HEAVY)
Excellent pictures everyone. Thanks all for the kind words - I'll have my work cut out to make it better next year, but ideas are already emerging...
It was hard work but very rewarding with all the positive feedback we received. Thank you to all exhibitors and in particular Benny and Ed. Sterling work indeed!

One or two 800s...

Re: NEC 2013 (PICTURE HEAVY)
I dropped by the 800 stand, and was well impressed with the quality of the cars on display. I met Alex and had a good nosey around his 820 - very nice.
It seemed a shame the stand had some issues with its proximity to the live stage. Really, the organisers shouldn't have put a stand there. I walked past a couple of times when something was on the stage and the cars quickly got lost in groups of people standing round watching.
However you all made the most of it and triumphed over adversity. Well done!
Incidentally, my own 800 was at the NEC, but in 'support vehicle' capacity - transporting the Allegro Club and Maestro Club stands. Who needs a van when you've got a Fastback?

He seemed a nice chap, and had time to talk to the visitors to his stand.
He also gave an interview on stage with Mike Brewer and a talk and video show of his
Cuban car project, "Ernest Hemmingways long lost 1955 Chrysler New Yorker"

Re: NEC 2013 (PICTURE HEAVY)
That's better. Thanks for those.
He is a nice chap, despite bad press about 25 years ago, which threatened to finish him off. I guess having such a high profile does expose you to having all your dirty washing aired in public, doesn't it?

Not sure what he got up to, but you don't always have to do a lot to get bad press, trouble is mud sticks.Very Tall Brad wrote:

Re: NEC 2013 (PICTURE HEAVY)
How true. People in the public eye only have to open their mouths and are immediately misquoted. It's little wonder so many journalists are regarded as honest as estate agents.

Re: NEC 2013 (PICTURE HEAVY)
Wow! What a great collection of cars and pictures! I wish i could have been there
Cool that you guys have met Mike Brewer and Edward China!
The stand looked like a Rover dealer with those new condition cars
Simply epic!

Very nice!! How did you manage to keep your cars clean on the way there? Or did you all have a wash and brush up before entering the display hall?
