The final event in the club's calendar last year was the International Classic Car Show held in November at the NEC in Birmingham. As you can see from the picture below the 3 halls used to house the event were quite crowded. Over 1000 classic cars were said to be on display. The organizers claim that well over 140 clubs and 500 other exhibitors attended the event. As a crowd puller its said to be one of the top 30 exhibitions in Britain.

The club had three Maxi's on its stand. A 1500 version owned by Pip Taylor of Redditch and two 1750 versions owned by Richard Joyce of Bourne and Iain Houghton of Preston

Whilst more prestigious car clubs may have attracted most of the attention, a great deal of interest was shown by visitors in the clubs stand.

With their tailgates open and interiors lit most people passing the stand couldn't resist a peek inside the cars they or their parents drove in the 70's and 80's.

An enormous amount of work goes into preparing the clubs stand at the show.

Prior to the event taking place stages have to be designed, equipment purchased, hotels booked, cars got ready and risk assessment made to ensure public safety.

On the day of the show the stand has to be erected (and later taken down) within a few hours of the doors opening (and closing)......... Which means a long day for the participants. When asked what time she'd got up to prepare for the show on the first day, Chris Jackson (Club Secretary) gave the sort of look that said "Don't ask"

For Iain Houghton getting his car ready for the show meant spending a small fortune on polish. Look at that shine.....
