NEC CLASSIC MOTORSHOW 2014

Post by Alex SBY » Wed Apr 30, 2014 4:26 pm

I've just been advised that for the third year running, we've been selected for a stand at the NEC show in November. We must have been doing something right!

I know no more details at the moment, and the size of stand and where it is to be is still to be advised. All I do know is that we're in! In the meantime if you wish for your car to be put forward for display, please get in touch. I can't guarantee anything as like I say we've no idea on stand size as yet, however anyone interested shouldn't hesitate in contacting me. If you're unsure what's involved please see other threads here and in the show photos section.

Watch this space for further news!

Alex.

Stevo needs to be there with that beautiful Nightfire fastback, I for one have been invited to attend on the Rover National RSR stand so gives a good opportunity to some other of the beauties we've been introduced to recently on the forum, a rotation of vehicles keeps it fresh........

I've had a few people put themselves/their cars forward already via the Facebook group too. As I say above, feel free to get in touch and offer your car if you can spare it for the entire weekend (and remember it has to stay in the NEC all weekend so it'll mean alternative transport home/staying over).

As with other years, all exhibitors will also need to help with stand set-up and holding the fort over the weekend, speaking to people, so for newbies to it all, it's not just a case of park your car and forget it... There's work to be done! :)

Ultimately it all depends on how much space we have as to what we end up with, which I don't know as of yet. Right now, what I need is expressions of interest and we'll go from there...

Firstly, apologies for the lack of being around on here of late. Real life being what it is has meant I've been somewhat busy.

However, I do bring news re the NEC. We've been allocated a stand in Hall 17 which is 11m x 7m in size, and it's open on two sides (in a cluster of four club stands in total).

Mercifully, we're not near the main stage this year and (quite fortunately) we're close to all the autojumble stands.

I now need to work out how many cars we can accommodate -thanks to everyone who has been in touch so far with offers. Once I work things out I will be in touch.

Alex.

Thanks to all who have got in touch re the stand. I'm currently very busy at the moment but am working in the background on getting this sorted. In the meantime, the NEC organisers have advised that there's been a change to our allocated stand dimensions so that we now are looking at having 6.5 m x 12 m = 78 sqm stand size.

I'll be in touch in the next few weeks once I've finally worked out how many cars we can comfortably get on stand.

Noticed there were no Fastbacks on the stand last year, so I'd like to offer my early F Reg 820Se as being available for the 2014 show, even though it sounds like you're already inundated with offers.

Dear all,

Sorry I've been rather on the quiet front regarding this, and my apologies to those who messaged me offering cars for display if I have not replied - I did receive quite a few messages and I have been very busy organising this, and life in the real world has also been somewhat frantic of late.

The stand is all sorted and booked, and on giving this consideration, we didn't have sufficient space for four vehicles, so we're going with three.

We're going for a Mk1 theme this year (given how popular these cars certainly seem to be becoming in the classic car world it makes sense). On the stand will be JonR's 820Si, Kate (TDHFastback)'s 827 Police Car Fastback, and my 820SE. Many thanks to Kate and Jon who will be bringing display items. James C-T will also be providing visual displays and ICT support for the stand.

Hopefully next year we will be allocated a bigger stand, and we can give some more attention to the Mk2. I'm wanting next year to be Mk2 based, primarily because the year after (2016 - a long way off I know) will be the 30th anniversary of the 800.

I'll pop another thread up which provides information on how to get a discounted ticket rate, and I hope to see some of you over the show weekend.

Again, my apologies to those who I did not manage to get in touch with, but please be assured that if next year we get a larger stand, the offer of your car will be most welcome.

There's a lot of work that goes into organising these stands, and whilst I'd love to be able to cater for the entire range/styles of cars it's hard to get a balance between what's available and the constraints we are given.

Alex.
