Title: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: neil-yaj396 on 14 March, 2015, 01:49:44 PM Don Williamson will be organising an official Club stand this year (formerly Event City).
Anyone in the North of England who fancies showing their car please contact Don, or just come and see us at the stand either way? don.williamson1@btinternet.com http://www.manchesterclassiccarshow.com/ Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: donw on 14 March, 2015, 04:51:22 PM We should have space for between 3 & 6 cars, each car gets free entry ticket and we get a couple for additional stand helpers. There will also be a code in due course for a club discount for on line purchase of tickets.
They expect at least 70 car club stands + traders and individual owner entries. Unlike the NEC parking is FREE! Also the venue is just across the road from the Traford Centre for those who might be interested in shopping. ;) see http://www.manchesterclassiccarshow.com/ Don Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: Mihran on 03 July, 2015, 08:56:29 AM Hi there,
I live a mile from the trafford centre. Would be happy to help setup and dismantle. I was there in 2013. Would be glad to display the Fulvia also if it's needed. Mihran'.

Guy's Stratos must have been the most photographed car at the show! Unusually my BlackBerry let me down a bit and I haven't got a really good photo of the stand! Thanks to Don, Diana and David for organising it all. Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: DavidLaver on 23 September, 2015, 10:25:33 AM Two door Augusta? Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: sparehead3 on 23 September, 2015, 10:44:48 AM Nice :) - if we have any good photos, send them to me with a write up and they can go on the news page on the website.
Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: smithymc on 23 September, 2015, 11:02:25 AM Well done to Neil and accomplices.
Looks a nice show- I must admit the NEC is becoming a bit too big (and expensive) these days. If it falls before SORN time again next year, I could even bring the chocolime along if there is interest.

It's dimensions are great, it looks like it's been chopped down but it's original with fantastic suicide doors.

Thanks to all who helped. Don Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: lancialulu on 27 September, 2015, 05:32:45 PM Looks great.
What is Guy doing at his Strato's? Checking his tyre pressures meet the FIA regulations?? ;D ;D Title: Re: Manchester Classic Car Show 19th & 20th September Post by: fay66 on 27 September, 2015, 06:23:58 PM Lighting looks much better than the awful lighting at the NEC, Think I'll attend next year :)

The organiser is friendly and helpful, we were asked if we wanted to move to a bigger stand a couple of weeks before the show and the staff at the venue are also helpful not jobsworths. One of our cars was delivered without a pass, just a chat with the chaps on the gate and a wrist pass given and car waved through. During set up Organiser's staff come round to check that ever thing is ok, Organiser himself came round whilst show was on taking photos and chatting. Since have had an email thanking us for participating and hoping we will go next year details will be sent as soon as Event City confirm the dates. Don |
