Looking for Cars for the club stand at the NEC Classic Motor Show 11 - 13 Nov 2022

Hi,

We are looking for one possibly two cars for the NEC Classic Motor Show on Friday 11th November - Sunday 13 November 2022.

You will need to bring your car on Thursday 10th November in the afternoon and will not be able to move your car until approx 6.30pm to 7pm on the Sunday.  We also need the owner to stay with the car and help to man the stand for the duration of the show. The public like to talk to the owner of the car about is history and what has been modified etc..  You will be provided with free tickets for the event and parking ticket if needed.

We do have 2 spare double hotel rooms booked  at the Arden Hotel & Leisure Club, should anyone need them or feel free to book your own, but space is very limited now with nearby hotels.  The price for 3 night is £429.30. breakfast is extra.  This is the best prices we could get at the time of booking in May.

It is a cracking event to attend, we also have a good laugh at the event, it is very tiring, early morning starts, leave the show about 6pm, have a meal/drinks together.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for either of the following:

1.    Mint UK Spec Stock Car or Mint stock N/a Car.

2.    A Mint "Show Stopper" Car.  Can be modified ie single turbo, higher BHP, liveried etc.  The car must be in Mint condition.

 

Please can you send close up pictures of all sides of the car and interior to me and any other history of the car.  Also, please confirm that you will be able to attend for the whole duration of the show and if you need one of the hotel rooms.  We will make a decision by mid to  End of August which cars will be offered a place.  The decision will not be made by me  but  by the rest of the team that are involved with the NEC Show.

We will need to make a decision based upon the fit with the other cars already in the show,  so we can portray as wide a spectrum of the Supra that we can.  So if you are not chosen, it isn't a reflection on you or the car but the fit with the rest of the stand.  We currently have a Blue Twin Turbo, and possibly a black UK Spec and White Facelift Twin Turbo

We cannot offer everyone a place as we have 2 places maximum.

Please send details by DM  by the 9th August 2022.

Thanks

Jackie

There must be a nice NA or NA aero somewhere that isn't white or black or lexus blue. With the skyward prices on the turbo cars these days the public would probably really appreciate being able to talk to an enthusiastic NA owner on stand.

There must be some cracking Mk4 Supra sat in your garages. Why not show it at the Nec Classic Motor Show in November.  The biggest club stand Show in the UK. Its all inside.  Let me know what you got.  So far noone has asked to join the stand.

Mine will be painted and should look the part by then but for me (and I'd imagine others are in the same boat); it's the cost of the weekend.

Being required to be present all weekend means having to take up the hotel and eating out at a (not unsubstantial) cost. 

 

If you're local and/or don't have to take time off work though it's a great opportunity to show your car at what's probably one of the UK's most prestigious events.

I know it can be expensive.  More expensive than previous years this year. But it is a good social weekend as a group. We always go home shattered but it is a  cracking experience. 

We use it as one of our weekends away. Even when our car isn't included.   As Darren said you will get to see the show for free and also allowed entrance 1hr before opening  and after closing so you can see lots without the public there.

Hi,

 

Getting close to the show.  It's not too late to get your tickets for the show.  If you've never been, its well worth a visit.

If you buy them before the 16th October, the club may get a bonus too.

 

We are currently showing:

Jake Cousins Blue Twin Turbo Supra

Mark Blythe Black stock Uk Spec Supra

Ian Smith Blue Mk5 Limited Edition Jaramo Supra ( as part of the show theme - "part of the family"

4th Car - Still to be decided. 

 

If you have a show quality car and want to be involved DM me with pictures of your Supra  for details

If any members want to spend time on the stand chatting "Supra" with the public feel free

It would be good to see some members visiting.

Thanks

Jackie
