NEC classic car show.
- Thread starter Russ59
- Start date
Sadly I think these shows have just got too expensive, £28 for the Friday and £21 for the Saturday 
They would probably make as much money by halving ticket prices and increasing the number of visitors.

That's gone up since I used to attend - and the rip off parking fee as well, that's increased 
It's a fabulous show though if you like Classic cars. Multiple halls full of classic clubs of all types and some brilliant examples, plus the bonus of the classic motorcycle show in their hall able to be accessed (that still happening?). Plenty of stalls as well.
The only negative is that it does get very busy at certain times (we used to stay to the very end of the day to get a good view of everything) and you do a great deal of walking around! As with all these shows food and drink is very expensive so take your own picnic - there's a baggage place where you can leave a rucsac and return at lunch (cost only a £1 last time I was there)

Wouldn't want an increase in number of visitors, it gets packed as it is.
Don't mind paying the price as it's only once a year.

All being well I'm going on Friday Russ, be good to have a catch up with you two if poss?
Ofcourse
see you Friday!
Will be going today. (Saturday). Haven't been for 10 years. Having the zed seems to have rekindled my car obsession. My husband is very pleased as lots of car related days out are back on the agenda
Fantastic day out. A nightmare getting to park but after that it was nothing but pleasure. Even at the end when the car park attendants let us out without charge.
